Outpost Performance Space, July 14
Having played there off and on over many years, and recently in various other projects, Jefferson and I are pleased to present our own set on Thursday July 14, 7.30 at the venerable Outpost Performance Space. They are at 210 Yale SE, 2 blocks south of Central; admission is 10 dollars/5 for Outpost members.
Hope to see all of the Albuquerque supporters there!

Two amazing gigs!
We performed a set of two remarkable gigs recently; one for the opening of the Mark Griffin meditation retreat up in Taos on June 16 (from which these photos were taken), and for the Sikh community's international gathering (with about 1400 people) for a Yoga intensive on the Summer solstice ( unfortunately, the camera was low on batteries for this one).
Both gigs were an honor and a blessing to do. The hospitality, enthusiasm, and energy received were beautiful gifts indeed, and we hope we honored that by giving that love back through the music.
A very special thanks to Jules J Frank, MarkGriffin, and Davy of the stunning Casa Belissima for the Taos event; and to Sangeet Kaur and GuruGanesha for the opportunity and honor to play for the solstice.

Music from the Travel Bug CD
We've compiled the best of all our work so far from the Travel Bug gigs into a brief CDR, available through us directly or soon at CD Baby. Most of the cuts are posted throughout this site as mp3s in previous entries, but here are three of the cuts again, for easy reference:
Night-held Hope, playlist format
Night-held Hope, download
Viraha, playlist format
Viraha, download
God's Mirrors, playlist format

Its a short work - 5 pieces, 37 minutes - but we 're putting the sale proceeds towards financing a full scale studio project later in the year.
Enjoy!

new music, new dates
As posted elsewhere - see the left hand column for most recent entries - we have the latest set of mp3s, including the first one featuring the fretless electric.
We really hope to get your feedback on these, so please, comment on, and let us know your thoughts.
A number of dates are in the works: June 16th at Taos for the Duo; June 17th at CCA with mJane; and June 18th at the Albuquerque Folk Festival with the Zevk Ensemble.
The Duo has also been invited by the Sikh community to participate in their solstice event, which is a great honor. We'll post details here in a few days as I get the specifics ironed out.
