: APRIL :

Life has brought me back to Sacramento and it looks I will be stationed here for some time. The band is mostly here at this point (Kellen, Jason and Jonathan). Though it is not the same line-up as last year. Eric Frank (guitar, vocals) has spent the year working with his band LINKS quite a lot and Max Haymer (keys) moved out to New York after we recorded the Paradise Sessions.


First Full Band Rehearsal with Arlyn Anderson (right) on Guitar.

We had our first show on Monday night with Guitarist Arlyn Anderson at CSU Monterey Bay. I can't start to say how excited I am to have Arlyn playing with us. There were times on Monday where I couldn't help but smile. Marlana Sheetz also stepped in on some back up vocals. We are all starting to talk about recording again as I have another batch of new songs. More details coming soon about these recordings. We will be looking to our fans in a big way for these recordings - so stay tuned.

Also look for a Dawson and Marie (my acoustic side project) album in the coming months.


Found at CSU Monterey Bay : I call it the "Hula-Hooping Pedestrian"

We have some summer tour dates starting to get posted around Northern California. We will be doing many of these shows with my sisters band Big Tree.

As part of the tour, we are proud to announce that we are opening the first evening of the 3rd Annual Summer Solstice Festival right outside of Placerville, CA this year. The Solstice event is located right off of Highway 193 on the River by Chili Bar, at the Nugget River Park. It's five minutes from downtown Placerville at a private campground that is a gem on the South Fork of the American River.

We will be playing on Friday, June 19th at 6pm.
Tickets are only $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
Tickets can be bought at Solsticeproduction.com & at Ravens Tale Books in Placerville.
And anyone under 16 is FREE!
