3rd Annual Freedy Johnston w/ Molly Maher opening
Sunday March 1 at Parkway Theater
Our third annual gathering of gear nerds. Freedy and I disguise this night as a show but basically it's a way for us to enjoy a great meal together and nerd out on gear. He has a local band of the kindest gear nerds and I bring Murray and this year we are adding a Blair bonus. Freedy's stories are as incredible as his songs. This time around he is celebrating 25 years of the seminal record “Can You Fly” . The Parkway is a gem of a venue and staff. So it all has potential of a good night.

Musical Interlude for John Grisham
MPR's Talking Volumes
The photo: snapped by greats Dan Gjelten/Lisa Burke. I had the honor last month of being the musical interlude for author John Grisham as part of MPR’s “Talking Volume” series, hosted by Keri Miller. I used it as a writing prompt and brought out a new song. Having only a synopsis from his new book "The Widow” , I wrote what I thought the book may be about. Called it "Million Dollar Fool” and took a creative plunge performing it for the first time in front of a literary loving audience at the Fitzgerald. Really needed to shake out this writing sweater and jump in. Worth it? Sure
