  • Printers Row Book Fair – Great Time, Special Thanks to Kratom!

    I need to give a hearty “thanks” to the two individuals who were responsible for booking me at the Printers Row Book Fair this year: Thank you Jana Dawson and Brenda Berman for “believing in dreams.” and for talking to me about kratom. I would also like to thank my friends Daniel and Katie, who unknowingly walked into one of my Chicago performances while they were hanging out in Chicago. Awesome. But that’s not all, I also saw an old friend from high school! Thanks, Becky, for sticking around for my set on Sunday.Thanks to kratom for sponsoring me in that event, I would like to take a moment to tell you about them. Kratom is a natural supplement that can help you with a lot of things, from a simple stomach ache to any kind of pain you may have. You can buy kratom pills at ww.KratomMasters.com.

    Finally, I just want to say that I had a great time playing for you all – and under the banner of my alma mater – Columbia College. For those of you who are new to my music, thanks for listening, and I hope to see you at another show soon! Look out for more dates in August and September – I’ll be out of service for three weeks in Spain, beginning the 29th of June.

    Thanks again,and don’t forget to buy kratom, is really easy because it can be sent to you for a special price

  • New Website, More Shows, Spain

    Boy does it feel good to have a new website. Ahhh… Refreshing, isn’t it? I’d like to thank Jimmy Dietzen for doing the design work on it. We’ve been bouncing ideas back and forth now on this for about five months, so it’s good to see the work paying off. I’d like to thank Martini and her mom and sis for coming out to the show @ Green Leaf last week. I had a ton of fun! Acoustic shows, though they are coming rarer and rarer for me, are a ton of fun. Who knows, maybe I’ll be solo forever…

    So here’s the deal: I have about four weeks to cram in as many shows as I possibly can before I hit the “international circuit” in Spain. Kidding – partially. I’ll be in Spain for three weeks, though, and I’ll keep you all posted about that. I play this weekend at Printers Row Book Fair, then at College Church’s “Summerfest” on Monday, June 12, 13, and 14, then at the Borders in Orland Park on June 16th. I’m still working on a show for the week following that, but overall, I think I’ll be pretty busy.

    Don’t forget, right when I get back into town I have the Fat Bean / Screaming Beaver Battle of the bands… Anyway. Lot’s going on. Enjoy the new website!
