Tour Diary – Charleston, WV and Harrisburg, PA (March 4 – 7)
Charleston, WV Charleston is home to the NPR show Mountain Stage. It has been a staple in our touring lives for the past couple of decades. This was our ninth appearance on the show. It’s gratifying to know that a show that caters strictly to live music can be as successful and survive for as […]
Tour Diary – Norfolk and Charlottesville, VA (March 2 and 3)
Norfolk We’ve been coming to Norfolk for years now and we have watched this city grow from being an ugly little wart on the face of the enormous naval base that houses the Atlantic Fleet, to being a very sharp little burgh with lots to recommend it as a tourist destination. A lot of US […]
Tour Diary – Annapolis, MD and Alexandria, VA (Feb 28 & 29 and March 1)
Annapolis Three nights in the same bed. It’s practically unheard of on tour. We had a day off on Monday and then two nights at the Ram’s Head….which all adds up to three nights in the same bed. This is a decent little town to be stranded in if one has to be stationary for […]
Tour Diary – Providence RI and Ridgefield CT, (Feb 25 and 26)

Tour Diary – Ithaca and West Long Branch (February 23 and 24)
Ithaca It’s always hard getting started again and it isn’t getting any easier as the years pile on. One has to put all of those niggling details on hold; tie up any loose ends that won’t keep for a few weeks; help to co-ordinate ones family-life to ease the guilt of leaving. Yes, guilt. It’s […]
Nomad Series interview with CBC
Margo and I sat down with Laurie Brown last week to do an extensive interview about The Nomad Series…..take a listen, here.
Toronto show on March 14
For all of you home town folks, we just want to let you know that we will be doing a special performance at the Glen Gould Studio on March 14th. This will be a full show focusing on The Nomad Series (with a couple of golden oldies thrown in) and it will be taped by […]
