Very excited to announce that Silent Isle will be opening for Tom Carter/Pat Murano duo, Marcia Bassett/Barry Weisblat duo, and a SECRET MYSTERY GUEST at the new Silent Barn later this month. It is a very exciting time for this venue, and I am grateful to be a part of such an amazing first month of shows, sharing a bill with such first-rate musicians! Viva la Silent Barn!

Iron Will Lulofs
January 1, 2013
A musician comrade and former Bennington College-mate of mine, Will Lulofs (aka Will Stratton, an amazing songwriter with whom you should familiarize yourself), was somewhat recently diagnosed with cancer at 25. He’s been through several rounds of chemotherapy, and is now in a potentially long period of recovery. In honor of my turning 25 this past December 22, I ask that you consider donating to this 25-year-old cancer survivor’s Give Forward fund, set up by his brother, Matt Lulofs. Will is a rad dude who has been making tons of new music while holed up in treatment/recovery zone, and we need more people like him on the planet!
