Back from a great conference at Folk Alliance Region Midwest, now ready to book 2026!

I do talks, workshops and performances, spreading the goodness of Potawatomi culture and earthy connection. Specializing in house concerts, libraries, museums, universities and other educational settings.

Set the captives free.

Music has transformed the landscape of this maximum security state prison.

I expected a tough crowd and I got an enthusiastic audience who actively participated.

To top it off, I got to see a killer concert by Carswell and Hope, who nearly brought the big house down.

Congratulations to the 2025 GRAMMY winners! Billy Strings and Sierra Ferrell were both past Folk Alliance Official Showcase Artists; one of the producers on Trail of Flowers, Gary Paczosa, is a former FAI board member; Ruthie Foster hosted our International Folk Music Awards in the past. Kudos!

Another snow day for the teen. I overslept through an important meeting. I'm baking my first sourdough loaf from a new starter. Hibernation is still on, fam.

Reminding myself that I work to create, not to become popular or achieve external concepts of success. I am successful when I define success for myself.

Rest is a sign of a successful life.

People are acting like Luigi becoming a folk hero is some new trend but it's not like yankee soldiers didn't sing John Brown's Body as they marched from Atlanta to Savannah

We're an Aldi town, not big enough for TJ unfortunately. I typically carry my groceries out in the shopping cart and just dump them in the hatchback until I can get home and bag them to bring them in. Super efficient. πŸ˜‚

"This is a stunning and unique track that captivates from the very first note. The 3/4 time signature brings an unconventional and exotic rhythm to the piece, with claps adding an intriguing texture that feels otherworldly."

I finally found the clip of Diana Ross performing "Love Hangover" on The Muppet Show in 1980.

The Muppet Show.

We used to be a proper nation.
