about
Recorded live in Santa Fe, New Mexico on 3 September 2022.
My friend Kevin Wohlmut (the only person I've ever let guest-host Future Fossils Podcast, and one of the most active members of our Facebook group) is BY FAR one of the most generous supporters of live music I have ever met. It was an honor to play this show for his house concert birthday party bonanza, alongside the very talented Dust City Opera and Austin Morrell from Albuquerque.
Over the last fifteen years, I've overemphasized technically intensive electroacoustic sets and neglected my stripped-down acoustic singer-songwriter roots. This show was a return to form — meaning, also, a storyteller format where I spent a good third of my set regaling my audience with humor and cerebral nonsense.
A mix of old and new songs and a philosophical dive into science fiction turning fact, learning to love yourself, the tension between individuals and collectives, video game obsession, political revolution, and my wonderful family.
Note: Please excuse my occasional lyrical slip, as I was awaiting cataract surgery at the time and having some difficulty reading my songbook. (Incidentally, all proceeds go toward paying off that surgery...)
Enjoy, and thank you for your support!
