PDX: Sunday's noon vigil for Gaza at 12th and Hawthorne SE will happen regardless of weather. We'll have a canopy now, so live music can still happen without anyone get electrocuted. More people welcome! Also more cool banners, signs, puppets, instruments, songs, poems...

December and January will involve several trips to different parts of the USA -- Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and California! Great gigs lined up in all those states, and room for more in all of them as well, if anyone has ideas...

This is my latest album. At least it's mine in the sense that I'm the lyricist, prompt engineer, and producer. In any case, I think it rocks hard. You might like it too. It's on Spotify, and soon will be on other platforms too.

My mother, Anne Chamberlain, died at home here in Boston this morning at the age of 87, on the 26th day after she decided to stop eating. (And then directly afterwards a lost Chihuahua appeared.)

Due to unforeseen circumstances related to family, I'm sorry to say that I had to cancel our plan to be part of tonight's multiple-bill show at Young Ethel's in Brooklyn, NY. We will be back on the road tomorrow in Great Barrington, however!

The revolution may or may not begin with a panel discussion, but this one on Sunday afternoon in Manhattan will be a really excellent one! The lineup has changed a bit, here's the new graphic. If you know folks in NYC please share!

BOSTON: We're looking forward to doing a concert on Saturday in Copley Square. REQUEST: I have a few relatives coming in to spend a few days in Boston, and additional lodging is needed. Does anybody have a room for a nice relative of mine to stay in, by chance?

I just found a trove of photos Ian Cassidy sent me two years ago, which I managed to miss until now! I'm hoping for gigs in Denmark in the spring, so I thought I'd share this one. I believe I was entering the stage area at an Enhedslisten event in Copenhagen...
