Another Night at the Wildcat Tavern - April 24

Hey - I'm back at the Wildcat on Sat. April 24th from 8-11pm. I'll have fiddle-player extraordinaire Rebecca Kaplan sitting in with me from 9pm on. We've been learning some new tunes together so it will be a good time!

Meanwhile here are some shots from Sat. nite's gig at the Cornish Inn with Mr. Perkins. Look for future dates coming up there soon.

April 17th at the Cornish Inn

I'll be appearing with Thom Perkins on Fri. April 17th at the Cornish Inn in Cornish Maine, located right on Route 25. We go on around 7pm and play til around 10pm. This is a cool little room with great food and atmosphere - stop by and hear us play! We've been working on a lot of new material so it should be a good night of music!

Birthday Bash and Gig on March 27th

Just got off the phone with my friend Stu from the Wildcat Tavern. Looks like my gig there on Sat. March 27th will be extra special, with $2-$3 drink specials for FoK (that's short for Friends of Kathy). Rumor has it a birthday cake will also be in the works. I'll be playing tunes with Mr. Perkins from 8-11. Stop by and help me celebrate my special day!

I also booked the following additional dates at the Wildcat:

April 24
May 8
June 12

I also am playing a new place (new for me!) on Sat. April 17 - the Cornish Inn in Cornish, ME. It's about 40 minutes from the North Conway area right on Route 25. This is a cool little tavern and inn with an impressive (and inexpensive) menu. Worth the trip!

Hope to see you on my birthday! I can't think of a better way to spend than with friends and tunes. :)

Summer Time and the Singin' is Easy

With snow still on the ground, it's hard to believe I'm already booking summer gigs!

I just confirmed two dates at the Plymouth (Mass.) Yacht Club on June 20th and July 11th. Can't think of a better place to wind down a summer weekend than on the waterfront of America's hometown. More details to come on timing and location.

I enjoyed my first visit to the Cornish Inn to play their open mic night last Thurs. I'll be confirming some April Saturday night dates there soon. It's a great venue with a really nice bar area and inexpensive interesting menu, located on Route 25 in Cornish, ME.

Finally, please plan on joining me for my birthday gig at the Wildcat Tavern on Sat. March 27 from 8-11pm.
