Hey folks

The Summer has kicked in, and it's a busy one! I'll be touring around with my band The Furies in California. We did a wonderful inaugural show at the Rapidgrass Festivalin Clear Creek, Colorado, where I also led the Rapidgrass Symphony with an amazing personnel list: the bass section alone was the most incredible: Ethan Jodziewicz, Paul Kowert, Max Johnson. On fiddles: Brittany Haas, Michael Barnett, (both interviewed here in this School), Phoebe Hunt, Coleman Smith, Andy Reiner & Joy Adams. With other instruments such as Dominick Leslie on mandolin and Sam Ryder on accordion. We'll be touring up the West Coast with The Furies in July, and working at Mike Block's String Camp, the Northwest String Summit, and the amazing Berklee Global String Week in Boston.
