We play our live-streamed, online show, Murder, Mayhem, and Medleys [and Monster Trucks] Monday-Thursday at 8pm, Sunday at 12pm. We have done 733 of them and they’re all on the internet now. We stream most reliably to Facebook, usually to Youtube, and sometimes to Instagram. You can find it by my Facebook page or looking us up on the other platforms.
Hey! We’re doing a free outdoor concert next Wednesday! It’s gonna be me, Craig Ventresco, Ari Munkres, and Rick Elmore, and, I hope, Robert Young (but maybe not). I’d be overjoyed if you’d join us.
Thanks Andrew Gilbert for writing this nice article about us. Tonight is our 365th live stream in a row! Every night since the pandemic began, we’ve been playing a show live from our kitchen. You can find it on my YouTube or on my Facebook or, old ones on my Instagram (we stopped doing Instagram).
Every night at 8pm GMT-7 I play a set with Craig Ventresco and stream it to Facebook and Instagram. We’ve done 112 of them to date; tonight will be our 113th. You can watch them live or watch them later; tune in by clicking the links below.

People tell me all the time that my website is out of date. This has been going on for years. I love you for going to my website and even caring whether it’s out of date, but my website is NOT out of date. The way WordPress lays it out is that you have to look at the page called CALENDAR to see where I’m playing. I mean, maybe I’ll just start posting date lists on the front page; I can imagine this very text being, instead, a list of my concert dates. That would make a lot of sense. Okay, I will start doing that. Thank you very much. Much love.
Thanks for being here! Please enjoy the different sections, including my performance calendar, videos of my shows, and information about where and when I’m playing and with whom. This “front page” you’re reading now is sort of a sparse blog where, over the years, I have made announcements now and then, but the information is organized and contained within the ancillary pages, which are listed just a bit below the top of the screen, and titled “BIO” “CALENDAR” and things like that.
