Hey, whatcha doin' this weekend?

If you live in or near
1) Maryland or in the
2) Philadelphia area or
3) have friends/family to send our way ...
I'm headed your way for 3 events to mark my first live appearances down yonder (from home on Cape Cod) in more than three years. And I'll be joined by some amazing friends Friday and Saturday night. Here's the skinny
(click on any of the blue links in this entire newsletter
for more information):
Two concerts are the inaugural events of the newly founded
True North Project
and I'm psyched to be teaming up with Sloan Wainwright,
Tom Prasada-Rao, and Stephanie Corby for a couple of True North shows that promise to be musical, meaningful, and more.
Saturday, March 25th ~ 7 PM
Our Lady of Mount Carmel ~ 1706 Old Eastern Avenue
Essex, MD
Sunday, March 26th ~ 6 PM
The State Theatre ~ 325 St. John Street
Havre de Grace, MD
Sandwiched in between on Sunday is a free concert hour at the mighty UU Congregation of West Chester (west of Philly)
and this one is a gift to you, sponsored by the UU as part of their Stewardship campaign.
The new iteration of the just-completed winter Cape Cod Songwriters Retreats at our new location ~ the Brasswood Inn in Provincetown, MA ~ was more than I could have hoped for. Two full houses and superb groups of attendees, the transcendent Sloan Wainwright and Glen Roethel helping guide us, the welcome from owners Tom and Brian, the ambiance, the heart-of-P-town location, the intimacy, the vibe, and more made it all worth counting the days til next January and March. We can't wait.

Next up: the 25th Anniversary SummerSongs week-long songwriting camp July 23-29, 2023 in Stony Point, NY.
There's a place for you, whether you've never written a song, written many, or are somewhere in between.
I'll be joined on staff by:
Taina Asili
Susan Cattaneo
Mark Dann
Jefferson Hamer
Tom Prasada-Rao
Sue Riley
Glen Roethel
Roger Tomhave
Sloan Wainwright

It's gonna be amazing.
