Hello good people! Summer is flowing along beautifully, full of music and family and friends. We just had an amazing time at Fiddle Tunes and are looking forward to diving back into more gigs with Rhiannon Giddens and the Old-Time Revue coming up. I got the chance to sit in with my former bandleader Mary Chapin Carpenter and really welcomed the opportunity to play with her and other dear friends! More of that coming up. Amelia and I are excited to have some dates at festivals coming up, like Green Mountain and the Philly Folk Fest, and then we’ll be off to France and Italy for a few weeks with our dear friends Nadine Landry and Sammy Lind of the Foghorn Stringband. So excited for that! Afterwards we’ll be building up towards Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Austin, Texas, in late September, and, as always, the line-up is staggering. It’ll be a true honor to be part of that amazing group of musicians and contribute to a good cause. Grateful for what this year has brought so far, particularly the release of my album “Wake” by the good people at the Last Music Company, and excited for what’s to come!
