Pittsburgh - Local Shows & Other Updates

Hi Pittsburgh!

Fall is here...almost! I used to really dislike this time of year but it has become one of my favorites. There's something especially calming about the cool weather and people returning to their routines.

I've been out of town for 30 of the last 45 days. So when I got back to Pittsburgh earlier this week, I was very happy with the idea of sticking around for a bit. My next tour is in November. Until then, I'll be playing a number of local college and public shows. See schedule below.

I will also be writing a chapter in a book! Yes, a book! My good friend in Lancaster, Ned Bustard, of Square Halo books recently published, "It Was Good: Making Art to the Glory of God", with contributed chapters from artist such as Charlie Peacock and Makoto Fujimura. I will be adding a chapter to the sequel "Making Music to the Glory of God". Very excited for this!

VOTE

You know the drill! It's that time of year! If you would vote for me in the "best singer/songwriter" category, I would really appreciate it...and I would think the world of you (even though I already do)l! Thank you! :)
