Off The Record Music Festival in Atlantic City in June — it’s a boutique festival with a great lineup of singer-songwriters from all over the country. I will be releasing new music very soon and a few remixes. I recorded last night’s show at Pure Theatre [with David Higgins’ Adelie], and I plan to record at Fairweather Studio on James Island in the coming months.
Also catch me local show on Sat. Feb. 10 at the Rusty Rudder Craft Beer and Oyster Festival.
