Much Ado About So Many Things

December 17, 2010 By

It’s been busy, busy, busy in LA for me since Thanksgiving.

After 3 productive and beautiful weeks in the UK, playing shows as a duo with my brother Sean, we flew home and jumped directly into rehearsals for a production of Much Ado About Nothing.   This strange opportunity is the most recent in a string of diverse gigs that came my way this year.

Five week so of touring with the Prairie Home Companion gave me new friends, and an even larger respect for Garrison and the team of people who put on that radio show. The whole tour was a great experience.

Our time in the UK was rad.  The generous and hard working Joe Rusby tour managed, and drove us around and ran the house sound at all the gigs. It’s fun traveling in a small group because it is more likely we will all be game, if one of us has a whim to go see what’s down that road, or pull over for some tea or leave early so we can sight see.

With just six more performances of Much Ado left, I’m starting to get into the Christmas Spirit.  We rehearsed for the Watkins Family Hour Christmas Show yesterday and I’m really excited about one song in particular :)

I am delighted to announce that  starting in January, I will be joining the DECEMBERISTS on tour.  The tour will extend through summertime and will take me to Europe and, for the first time, I get to visit Australia!!

The adventures continue ladies and gentlemen…  More January excitement to be announced soon!!
