I’ll be playing in the wine bar at Cave Creek Coffee Company (C4) on July 12, 2008 - 7:00pm - 9:30pm, or so.  Then, later that week, I fly to play house concert in Chicago, on July 19th.

C4’s wine bar is not really the best venue for me - as a songwriter.  Songwriters need to have a captured audience - a listening venue - but in this context, I am primarily background noise for the diners.  Typically, such venues are more for the cover musician/performer.  My covers are so obscure, most people would believe they were originals anyways

However, I love C4 and do appreciate the opportunity.  If you are in Arizona and want a great dining experience - great food, wine, and ambience, come on out.  Listen to a song or two as well.

The House Concert, on the other hand, is very much the songwriter’s dream.  A listening event, where the songs and the writer (ME) are the focus.  My friend’s Ray & Andrea booked me as part of their birthday bash - so it will be me for the first hour and fifteen minutes - and then we move to the party.  I get to be both entertainer and guest and plan on having CD’s, T-shirts, and a few other items to help build a fanbase.

If you are in Chicago, and not a friend of Ray and Andrea’s - but think you might like to attend this show, contact me directly.  I’ll see what can be worked out.
