It's been a long time since I've played Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz, California... So, when the talent buyer called me up and asked if I could open up for Nashville, Tennessee rocker, Webb Wilder (www.webbwilder.com), I said "Heck, yeah!" and booked it ASAP. Moe's Alley serves up everything a killer blues and rock club ought to be: plenty of attitude, plenty of volume, plenty of booze, plenty of grub, and plenty of ambience in a cozy, no-frills setting. On Sunday, April 9th, 2017, I'll be supporting Webb Wilder with a 30 minute, solo acoustic set from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM featuring my favorite material from my first three records, select songs from my upcoming 2017 release, engineered and produced by Richie Biggs back in Nashville, Tennessee, and a few other tunes penned on the road and in the space between. It's going to be a killer, early afternoon of music, so c'mon out and say hey! For additional details and directions, click on over to www.moesalley.com or call the venue directly at (831) 479-1854.
