Tally Ho Theatre

19 West Market St

Leesburg, VA

T: 703-777-1168

Tickets on sale at the Tally Ho website soon! This show will sell out, so please buy your tickets in advance!

2012 is already shaping up as another banner year! Look for me as a frequent offender at The Tally Ho Theater, Blackthorne Inn, Narmada Winery, Paradise Springs, Döner Bistro, and the Bloomery Plantation Distillery!

I'm psyched to have been part of NAMM 2011 Anaheim! Thanks to the wonderful folks at CF Martin's Artist relations Manager Dick Boak for his generosity and instruments for my performances!

Also, my CD w/ Larry Burnett "Guitars and Vocals" is one of 5 finalists nominated for the esteemed 2010 Native American Music Awards in the category of Best Blues Recording! The awards were Friday, November 12, 2010 at the Seneca Niagara Hotel & Casino in Niagara Falls, NY!

Larry Burnett and I appeared w/ America at the Birchmere on April 30 to a sold-out audience! Our thanks to Dewey, Gerry, Woody, and the rest of the America tour team for their friendship and for having us be a part of this wonderful evening of music!

Here's a YouTube link to Larry and me performing "Cinderella" at the show. The Birchmere is awesome! A special thanks to Mike & John!

My latest CD "Guitars & Vocals" w/ Larry Burnett of Firefall is available at iTunes, CD Baby and DigStation via download or CD!

Indian Country

As many of you already know, a big part of my career is working with Native businesses in the federal contracting space. I have recently stepped down from my expert appointment as Senior Advisor on Native American Affairs, Office of the Secretary, Department of Commerce. For those of you in the DC area, you may see me a bit more often in Capitol Hill part of town. I was honored to be asked by Secretary Gary Locke to fill this position.

I'm still participating in endeavors relative to Indian Country economic and environmental issues including a support contract from the US Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution / Udall Foundation supporting the National Ocean Policy GCC.
