​
Friday 7.24 from 5:30-7pm! With Rocky Seahorse at The Covert Café​

Dear Friend,

Normally I'd wax poetic but a third of summer has disappeared along with my attention span, since I'm playing a set tomorrow at the Hostel and have, yet again, neglected to give a little more lead time with the newsletter. I've posted about it on Instagram, but we all know the algorithm eats those things. According to metrics, my engagement has dropped again, and perhaps I get what I deserve since I stubbornly refuse to play the game.

I had a lovely sunset house concert out near Joshua Tree at the beginning of the month, and a little bit of a post-show magic with the Milky Way dripping stars into the high desert winds. Maybe I'll write about it in the next missive, maybe it will wind up in a song. It was all so moving and I don't think I have it in me to render it to you, just at this moment.

At any rate, come see me, soon. I miss your face.

Be well!

Come see me on Friday, July 24th 5:30-7pm at Covert Café! Trading tunes with Rocky Seahorse on the patio. $5 suggested; NOTAFLOF Dear Friend, The penultimate Rocky & Val summer special is happening tomorrow on the patio of Covert Café. These little off-the-cuff sets have been as rewarding as they've been challenging, and last month's event was a particular delight to perform, if a little rough for me. I'm in the process of breaking in a handful of new songs, and new arrangements of old songs,...
