The live scene has been busier for me as the local high season for tourism has kicked into gear. I returned to the LOCO NATURAL for 2 shows with guest guitarist TJ Boeschen, from Portland, OR, and percussionist Carter VanHauten - a trio that has become an ongoing project whenever TJ comes back to what has truly become his second home here in Costa Rica. I also did my first solo gig at the Loco on March 8 and have a return engagement there coming up on the 22nd. I've also done a couple shows at the new CHILI ROJO - one with the trio and another with Jim MacDougall's Rayos del Sol and have another solo show coming up on the 16th at LA CASA DEL PAN in own my Playa Chiquita neighborhood. Recording continues for the solo album, squeezed in between the live shows and the gardening chores on our little mini finca. Uh oh - beach weather calling! Ciao for now.
