Echo and Ransom 🦁🦁

Got a couple gigs coming up this weekend. Solo at Brother Chimp Brewing on Saturday and an Echo and Ransom show at Bengtson Pumpkin Farm on Sunday afternoon. I’ll have “Apothecary” CDs and records on hand if you wanna grab one.

Kicking off Widows Harvest again with Echo and Ransom on 9/20 at 6:30pm. Two days of some of the best roots music you’re gonna find anywhere.

E&R weekend! 9/6: Mattone Restaurant in Lagrange Park at 7pm 9/8: Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield at 1pm, followed by Demi’s birthday bash at 4. BDVC is my home base and they’re celebrating their 4th Anniversary all weekend, so go catch a show or just buy a stack of records.

Our very good friends at Black Dog Vinyl Cafe are celebrating their 4th anniversary and we’re so grateful to be a part of the celebration. We’re setting up shop on Sunday, but there’s so much fun stuff happening all weekend. Don’t miss it! Congrats, BDVC!

I’m profoundly grateful to have @colleenwild in my life for a list of reasons that extends well beyond just music, although that’s what brought us together decades ago. She’s my friend, my partner, and a part of my family. Go wish her a Happy Birthday. Love you, my friend 🩵
