I gave this online concert at Live Streamer Cafe to benefit Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s invasion. Global Giving, a Charity Navigator approved organization, will provide for the basic human needs of these innocent people.
7:30 PM Eastern-US – Online concert to mark the album launch
Join me on Live Streamer Cafe on Friday evening at 7:30 Eastern-US. I’ll perform the new album in track order. Kris Pride will open the show with her heartfelt ukulele-based folk/rock songs.
For the album launch concert: Attendees will not be on camera – only the performers will appear on screen. Attendees will be able to interact in the chat section and will be able to select animated “compliments” out of a menu. Once I complete my performance of my album, I may have time to take a few requests.
Please arrive at Live Streamer Cafe a few minutes before showtime if you haven’t yet created your free user account.

I’m pleased to announce the release of my new album “Salt and Sand: Rock Songs to Heal the Mind,” scheduled for Friday, February 4! Album artwork was expertly created by Lora Ferrie. This artist exceeded my vision for a “split screen” of the salt and sand on an icy highway eventually giving way to salt and sand on a summer beach.
