About me:
I'm a musician (flute, voice, some guitar, less piano) who's had the opportunity to play and record with some of the swellest musicians in Sacramento...I'm now playing in a great acoustic blues trio, Hard Clumpin' Litter. Please check us out below...
For a year and a half, I also had a website that asked 10 questions to local Sacramento musicians. Interesting questions, though...none of that "how do you write a song" crap...I think they're still a fun read, so click below and check it out:
You just may find it amusing...
Who I'd like to meet: I decided to call The Stephanie Miller show (national political comedy show) and see if her incredible voice guy, Jim Ward, would sing me Happy Birthday in the voice of Keith Richards. He did not disappoint.
Point of clarification: When I make a reference to "getting all Squeezy", it's a term from the show that means horny. Simple enough.
Frannie, Would love to see you at the show Wednesday. New Songs, great pickin and 30% percent off your tab when you tell em you're there to see Mandolin Avenue
