Georgia on my mind…and on my schedule!
Some of my favorite musical moments have happened in Georgia. There have been many magical nights at Eddie’s Attic. There was the time I sang back-up with the band Jupiter Coyote at The Georgia Horsepark on a hot summer day — I walked out onto the black stage without shoes and burned up the bottoms of my feet…I hope no one took video because I’m sure it was a strange dance. 🙂
And some of the best moments have been created by my friend James Casto. James is an incredibly talented writer, pianist, singer and performer, and he has tireless energy. James has created several outdoor concert series that highlight songwriters-in-the-round. He is a master of putting together phenomenal shows, and for some reason he keeps inviting me to come along!
Last year James put together some in-the-round shows with me, James and Jesse Terry. I am a huge fan of Jesse’s and I knew it would be fun. Jesse is a great writer and his voice and songs never fail to make me feel. James also invited the great Matt Blanchard to join us on sax and Jim Hettinger to join us on keys. These guys are phenomenal players and can sit in on any song without ever having heard it. The musical mix of all of us was MAGICAL! SO we have decided to create this combo again…can’t wait to see what happens this time!
So here’s what’s coming up this week in GA…I can’t WAIT!
