Julian Family Fiddle Camp ‘22 is in the books! Many thanks to the folks at JFFC and the San Diego Folk Heritage for putting it all together. Great folks making music together in a scenic camp tucked in the mountains above San Diego.

1-2: Flash jam in downtown Julian
3: camp student performance with @calebklauder and Nina Weisman’s classes
4: picture by one of my students during bass class
5: Daniel Plane, Caleb Klauder, @bruce_molsky and @reebwillms at Friday’s concert
6-9: walking around Old Town San Diego, land that originally belonged to the Kumeyaay people. I enjoyed exploring and reading about the area’s history off some plaques scattered around the tattered buildings. The white one is the oldest church in old town, and was restored by the WPA in the 30s.
10: Clouds somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico.

I am very excited to be returning to the stage as a bandleader for the first time in SEVEN MONTHS!! Last time didn’t go so well — I got in a car accident the morning of a gig in august and ended up having a broken hand. Through not being able to play at all for a while and then sporadically during PT, I turned my attention to writing. I have a bunch of new music I am recording tonight at the gig and I feel very fortunate to do it with David, Tim and Max M.

Also, come hear me play my new @think_ns NXTa upright through some pedals!! Going to be real fun.

I am very pleased to announce my new partnership with NS Designs!

I am the proud new owner of an NXTa Upright Bass. Got to play it for the first time last night, and it came ready to gig on! Super portable, sounds great and the tone can get very close to a true upright sound, plus a classic yet modern active growl across the strings. @alexlarrymusic said it made me sound like NHØP! I thought so too. Check out their amazing instruments at @think_ns and thinkns.com.

Hitting tomorrow with monster musicians @_timwatso

Hitting tomorrow with monster musicians @_timwatson and Gibb Mandish @leaderofthepast at Center for Subtropical Affairs 9 PM to 12. No cover to get in. Come have a drink at one of the hippest outdoor venues in Miami!!!

Very excited to be a part of this new virtual concert series put together by @mymusic.match ! Been working on some thought-provoking tunes for this one for a few weeks. Hoping that folks come away from this gig (and future ones) feeling more empathetic and compelled to act now, when we all need to be actively contributing to making our country safer for black and brown people, as well as safer for those who are most vulnerable to COVID-19. I will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to organizations that are doing this important work.

I am also honored to be sharing the bill with some dear pals, @kellyschenk and @martyjquinn. Both are phenomenal musicians and I can’t wait to hear what they’ve put together!!

Details below and tickets are available now. Hope you can make it!!

Garrett and @reedoburrito11 made five sample kits and are selling them for $5! What a steal to have Garrett back in Miami (not his groovy self but a solid alternative). This is the “Kacey” set.
