I'm trying to develop a combination of new tools and technology that the Internet has brought about and to use them in a way that the Folk and Roots Music community can use.

About me: Don't ever underestimate the power of music. One concert can be life changing!
Six years ago (2002) my wife Nancy and I want to an art fair in East Lansing where a group called The Duhks
were playing.
We had a wonderful time, and I was reminded just how much I loved good music. Nancy and I decided to investigate what was available locally.
Back at home we found that there was a Folk Music Society in Midland . We began going to their dances, jams, concerts, and festivals. Life was suddenly starting to get better as we immersed ourselves in a world we hadn't known existed.
A favorite band we met at that time was Sonas, a great Celtic band based in the Thumb area of Michigan.
Bay City hosted the Tall Ship Festival four years ago and we met some great bands there. It was a magic weekend.
Listening to great groups from all over the world by day and spending time with them at a local watering hole at the end of the day.
We became devoted fans of the local band called "Hoolie".
Jerry and Kathy opened a whole new world to us by introducing us to local musicians we didn't know existed. One group was another fantastic Celtic band called "Stonecross" .
About that time I started putting an e-mailing list together to let folks know what was happening locally, I also became a member of Sugar Hill's "Street Team" to help promote the Duhks, and we became friends with STONECROSS . Zig and Siusan (Stonecross/now also known as Holy Crow) have started a fantastic venue called
The White Crow Conservatory of Music in Saginaw
I act independently by continuing to promote "Folk" and "Roots" music in general and within Michigan particularly.
Thank you for taking the time to investigate this site and please do take a look at my many friends in my MySpace "Friends" list as they're the real story and what it's all about.
If you're in Michigan please consider joining my weekly newsletter for events across the state. You can view some of the upcoming events in my calendar.
I've also started a discussion group with the intent of developing a televised series focusing on Michigan music. It's planned to feature showcasing of the venues, artists, and events that make Michigan such a Great State
