From the very first day of performing at a Renaissance faire, I dreamed of starting my own. Then I started performing at sci fi conventions. I dreamed of starting my own con.

Will I Be Able to Fund TWO CDs?
I am less than $500 away from funding Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion on Kickstarter. I’m blown away with how quickly I’ve raised money for this album.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the country (like Texas, where I am now), it is just another day. But we can still be a […]
Friday Night at DragonCon
DragonCon was a lot more relaxing for me this year. I’m sure having the family with me made a big difference. Last year, I was a wee bit worried about how I would take care of a family as a musician. I took it easy and had fun this weekend. Some awesome shows helped! Originally, […]
