I am (more than) a bit delinquent in updating the website but I am playing at the “home base” at the Gig Harbor Taproom of Locust Cider on Saturday, April 25, 2026. After a very, very busy spring so far, I am looking forward to the summer and a lighter load professionally so I can focus on music. I hope to have more updates soon!

Gig Summary – Deep Draft Brewery (2/13/26)
I’m not really superstitious so I figured I’d tempt fate and play a show on Friday, the 13th. Thankfully, nothing bad happened and I had a good time. I filmed part of my set and, as soon as I have time, I will post some video. I had a nice little corner of the taproom and I tried not to disturb the patrons. I really like these small, intimate settings. I hope to play there again in the not-too-distant future and, once the weather is nice, I hope to play in the outdoor space they have. It’s really a great place and I highly recommend it. In addition to the nice beer garden in good weather, they have great beers most of which are the German-style that I prefer and they have GREAT BBQ food as well. I hope to see you there sometime!
The setlist is similar to the last few test gigs that I have played although I am working on some new songs. I have been diving into the catalogs of my favorite bands this year (DCFC in January, The Shins in February) and that has inspired me to add songs from those catalogs that fit the set. I am also working on a music blog feature of the website to write about these catalog dives so look for that soon if you are interested. More importantly, though, I also have about a half dozen new original tunes that I plan to work on. My goal is, by the summer, to have a 30-song set with about six carefully selected covers (depending on the gig). We’ll see how that goes.

Gig Summary – Locust Cider (12/6/25)
The December gig, the second where I performed a primarily LowLightRoom setlist was fun. The Harborcade at Locust Cider was full of people on a Saturday night. There was a large group celebrating a birthday (and, of course, we sang “Happy Birthday”) and a few other friends and locals.
The setlist (above) was essentially the same setlist from November with the songs shuffled around a bit. As I continue to build the live performance, the setlist will include all of the LowLightRoom songs plus a few covers.
The covers on these early set lists are mostly songs that I already know and did not need to spend time learning. As we transition into the New Year, though, I plan to swap out some of these covers and replace them with originals and new covers, mostly deep cuts, from bands that I like. I only play covers for two reasons (1) to fill a set, and (2) because I like the song (not necessarily because anyone knows it).
I hope to see you at a future show!
