Thanks for reading, everybody! If you're in NW AR, Aurora, CO, Upper lake or Napa or Los Angeles, CA, Albuquerque, Amarillo, or Lawton, OK, I hope to see you at one of our shows later this month-early November! We're also scheming on streaming an online show for EVERYBODY on or just after Halloween!

This is my biggest tour of the year and the last major trip for 2023. It's all thanks to Hexenfest in California that we can do this, and thanks to all of you that we have it to look forward to! I'm thrilled to get to hit the road once more with my beloved Muses Renée, Lynda, and Ginger.

Full details below! Let your people know!

Hexenfest is a small festival of myth, music, and magic. About 200 people attend. Our new venue can support 350 easily, and we hope to grow into that.

Fire Danger in this area is EXTREME. We must be impeccable in this regard, and only smoke or use fire in the designated areas.

All ticket sales are final. Please understand we are a small, independent event, and we make decisions on behalf of the festival as money comes in. If you are unable to attend, you are responsible for re-selling your ticket.

We do not tolerate racism, transphobia, sexism, or related behaviors. We value consent culture.

All bathrooms at Hexenfest are gender neutral.

Is Hexenfest ADA-friendly? Honestly, it could be better. Saratoga Springs is a vast improvement over our last venue, but some have said it is too far to walk from place to place. We will have shuttles running this year to help with this.

AFTER THAT, I won't have many live shows for the rest of the year in order to make sure I spend enough time with family and friends. BUT plenty of those I call my family and friends are ALSO musicians, so I'll have at least two more shows during November, shared with the unstoppable Leslie Hudson: November 18 in Fayetteville, AR and November 19 in Belle, MO! All the details are here.​
