I've lost count as to how many years this makes at Holler Fest - a gem of a SE Michigan outdoor summer music festival. Over 10 for sure. The first few performing with my longtime musical partner Jay Stielstra, and then in 2015 also performing with my own band. It's always an unforgettable experience to play this wonderful festival in the rolling hills of Frog Holler Farm. We are excited to start off the first full day of the festival Saturday, Aug. 26 on the Main Stage at 10 a.m. The air will be cool and the mood off the charts - and we plan to bring all we've got to start the day off with a bang!

So thrilled to be able to celebrate the release of my 4th studio album, BONA FIDE, at one of the finest listening rooms anywhere, The Ark - Ann Arbor! It is also my birthday, which brings something extra special to the evening. Joining me are my band members who all played a significant part in the development and recording process for this album. With endless thanks to David Roof/Rooftop Recording Studio (engineering, keys, guitar, background vocals); John Sperendi (bass, background vocals); Alan Pagliere (pedal steel); Tony Pace (electric guitar); and Brian Williams (percussion) and to producer Ben Sayler, my son and creative listening ear, who was instrumental in bringing out the heart of each song. Special guest opener is a favorite artist of mine, the wonderful Annie Bacon. To add to the event, I will have available for purchase photos from my Jerusalem Road series, a rural area just outside of Ann Arbor I love to photograph. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Michigan League of Conservation Voters, an organization that works to preserve these precious natural spaces.
Tickets: $25 (reserved $33)
