Thanks to Wally Jones and the whole gang at Fort Worth’s historic Casa Mañana Theatre for bringing me and Shoshana down to Texas to have a foot-stompin’ good time.

The awesome folks at Starving Artists Studios in Orlando, FL brought me down South for a concert and masterclass, and I brought along Gary Sieger, my longtime guitarist, because his entire family lives in Florida and they haven’t ever seen us play together. So we did a duo set for the first time and had a blast, and the audience had a great time right along with us! Thanks to Tim Evanicki and the whole gang for a top-notch experience!
