Happy New Year

Hey!  Let's have a good one.

I'm just starting to get 2026 bookings.  I'm going to be at the Replay Lounge in Lawrence several times this year.  Also, really looking forward to Bluegrass At The Lake where MHM (Nikki Moddelmog, Dennis Hardin, Susan Mayo) will be performing this summer.

Stay tuned!

Downtime

Gosh, it has been a while since I have updated my gigs page.  I have a few listed now, including a run playing mandolin for Tabor College's production of Bright Star.  This will be the third time I've played this musical -- always fun!

High Lonesome Bluegrass Mass

Sunday, I was a Haymaker for the performance of this piece, under the direction of its composer, Dr. Tim Sharp at Tabor College in Hillsboro, KS with the Tabor College Choir.  I had no idea the entire performance would be recorded (quite well!) and posted on YouTube. Here it is:
