Wowzers. Today marks the five year anniversary of this wild musical ride. On September 5th, 2015, I played the first Sempervivi show, an after party for the East Bridge Music Festival in Owensboro, KY. I had just finished playing guitar in a set with All Around the Dinner Table. The temperature was 104 degrees outside, [...]
Lockdown Life
As I write this, the world is still reeling from the Coronavirus outbreak. All three of us are adhering to our federal and state guidelines and staying home as much as possible. Of course, this means no shows for a while. Although we are missing out on a ton of great shows we had booked [...]
