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 – 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!

Gig Summary – Locust Cider (11/1/25)
I’m a huge sports fan and baseball is probably my favorite sport and, as it turned out, November 1, 2025, was the night of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. As a result, there were very few people at the Locust Cider Harborcade that evening and, those who were there, were watching the game projected on the screen behind me. I don’t blame them–I was primarily interested in the game myself. (BTW, as a Mariners fan, I was happy to see the Blue Jays lose.)
The lack of an audience did not bother me, though, as this was the first time that I tried to play a LowLightRoom set. I played all of the LLR songs plus a few cover songs to fill the set. It was still fun and it was good practice for future shows.
My plan is to add more original songs and build out the set further. This set, with stops, covers almost exactly two hours. By the late spring and early summer, I hope to have a three hour set which will still include all of the LLR songs, plus some new songs, and a few covers that fit into the vibe of the set.
I hope to see you at a future show!
