Cancelled

A note to let people know we will be putting my Tuesday night residency on hold at the Black Bear Pub. With the recent rise in Covid cases it seems prudent to wait until things are more under control as to not put patrons, musicians and club staff at risk. So.. the December 28 th performance is cancelled and future dates will be announced when it is safer to reconvene. I would like to thank all that came out over the past couple of months for your support and hope to see you again soon. Stay safe everyone.
