Well, it was a night I had been looking forward to for quite some time now. It was a solo acoustic performance at The Old Fire Hall on Main St. in Whitehorse, Yukon. I had been contacted by The Yukon Jazz Society to do a 1 hour show as part of their Jazz history series and I was honored to be asked. I have been doing these solo acoustic shows for a while now but never did one in my home town. It was a real good turn out and lots of friends came out for support. I played 45 min. all alone and had my good ol' buddy Dave Haddock get up and do the last 15 min. on the upright bass with me. I really had a fun night and from the feedback I am getting, it seems the show was well received by the public. I sure do enjoy doing these kind of shows. It's nice to just play what you want how you want and when you want. It really is a liberating experience and I'm excited to press on into the future with just me wee guitar on me knee. Next I will be doing a Acoustic Duo with local trad. bluesman, Ryan McNally at The Frostbite Music Festival. Really looking forward to that show as well and I'll fill you in on all the details on my next blog.SOLO DEBUT SHOW IN YUKON
