Wanna get on board?
Here's the basic trajectory... there're a lot of miles to cover, but there's still some wiggle room for a few more gigs and residencies along the road.
Nebraska — Oct 19-Nov 6
either back through Iowa/Peoria, or down through Kansas City (you decide ;-) )
Saint Louis — around Nov 12
Indianapolis
Detroit / Ann Arbor — weekend before thanksgiving
Annapolis / D.C. — around thanksgiving
Columbus, OH — just after thanksgiving
Chicago — most of December
Dallas — after the holidays, for the JEN Conference!! Whoot!
Hit me up!
If you see I'm coming to your general vicinity — there's still time to set up an opportunity to collaborate for a gig, or as an educator/arranger.
Let's make some music! 💜🎶
Nebraska Special
A note to Nebraska Organizations — I'm always touting the Nebraska Arts Council, and with good reason! They've revamped their Artists in Schools and Communities GRANTS this year to allow for both virtual and/or in-person sessions — with no matching funds required from the sponsoring organization.
As usual, it's first-come-first served, so visit their page to get a head start https://www.artscouncil.nebraska.gov/grants/grant-categories/aisc.html

Voilà! Ça suffit pour le moment. More news later...
