Freesinging with Duke Levine on ELECTION DAY!

Freesinging with Duke Levine on ELECTION DAY
Tomorrow night. AFTER YOU VOTE - stop by Toad for a drink, a hello to friends, a brief flight with us through the new landscape of solo electric guitar and solo voice. We'll welcome everyone to keep an eye on the polls and an ear on us. With the occasional invitation to yell out what the pundits are saying. Come at seven. Music 7:30-9pm. Interruptions with election news encouraged.

Duke and I played together in Peter Mulvey's Lamplighter Sessions last week. That guy - Mulvey - is unstoppable. And what an inspiration. We had a blast in the round - and Duke made all of us sound good. Generous on top of brilliant is that Duke.

And you know what happened when we started to play? I discovered that I felt calm. In the moment. Happy to be able to make some interpretation of my songs happen. Happy to be sharing an 'intheround' with Erelli, Mulvey, and the wonderful Brianna Lane, fellow mid-western touring companion of Peter's. When it was our turn, I tuned in to the sound and the silence. To the breathing and the strings. To the words. I was relaxed! What a pleasure.

What a surprise!
Is that a first for me?
Note to self.
Get relaxed more often.

I don't know where Duke and I are flying - but I'm grateful for the flight.

Please remind everyone you know to vote.
See you at Toad.
