Father's Day weekend in CA...
Just heading back home from a weekend in CA. Father's Day Fest in Grass Valley (missed Dan Miller -he was in VA), and Huck Finn Jubilee in Victorville.

Also good to hear the Grascals and nice to hear Sawmill Road and Blue and… Continue

Acoustic Night 9 - Genova, Italy (produced by Beppe Gambetta) with Beppe Gambetta, Mike Marshall, Marco Pereira, Marco Fadda, Riccardo Barbera
ACOUSTIC NIGHT 9
Review by Damiano Verda
Ninth edition for Beppe Gambetta Acoustic Night who closes one more time the season at the Teatro della Corte in Genova, Italy.
The title chosen by Gambetta for this year show “Rendez-vous” alias “meeting” seems to be really proper.
A meeting for the audience with high quality music, with fantastic performers, with sounds going with lightness and imagination from Brazilian… Continue
