Saturday, April 3 7:00 to 10:00 PM: San Francisco Bay Area singer/songwriter Steve Meckfessel offers intimate songs of family secrets, of long forgotten poets, of separateness, connection, of second chances and acceptance. He is a guitar player’s songwriter with arrangements distinguished by their varied voicings and unexpected chord progressions. Checkout Steve’s website here.

Steve will be joined by songwriters Perry Devine and Larry Diehl for a songwriters-in-the-round set that is sure to be fun and deeply moving at the same time. Checkout Larry’s website here.

This show will be a fundraiser for the Stagelights Musical Arts Community. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door. Tickets are available at Centre Stage and Earl E. Books. Both are located at 703 Chetco Ave (Hwy 101) in Brookings.

I’m excited that I will be joining Steve Meckfessel and James May at First Street Cafe in Benicia on Saturday, April 24. Steve, who is an amazing songwriter and guitar player, will be backing me up during my set. This is going to be a fun gig. What a great way to kickoff my Bay Area “homecoming” tour!

The concert and CD Release Party for “All Hands On Deck” on Saturday was a great success. We had a packed house with lots of new faces and everybody had a great time. We raised some money for Stagelights Musical Arts Community and I sold a bunch of CDs. Thanks to everyone who came out.
The concert was great, with Kim Banfield and James Anderson providing backup vocals for most of the first set. The audience was enthusiastic and their energy helped me deliver a great performance. It was one of those gigs that make it all worthwhile!

Our fundraiser for the non-profit Stagelights Musical Arts Community was a great success. It was an official Playing For Change, Peace Through Music Party, where we screened the Playing For Change DVD on the big screen at the Redwood Theater. The Stagelights house band, which I am a member of, played before the screening. It was a wonderful evening of fun, music and a very moving documentary. A good time was had by all and we raised a lot of  money for our fledgling community music organization.
