I'll be playing a number of gigs this month, including The Witch's Brew at Thee Parkside and three shows in Arizona. Details are on my gigs page!

Online Interview and Maker Faire Video

I was interviewed by James G. Carlson as part of his One Man Band series. We discussed spider bites and setting things on fire. It can be read online at Plug In Music.

This performance of Robert Johnson's "Hell Hound On My Trail" at the Maker Faire was captured on video by Rani Goel.
