Here in Nederland we are having Winter. Or, Winter is having us. for lunch. It can actually be kind of fun, long as there is wood for the stove. There’s a saying up here – there is no bad weather, only bad gear. No worries.

Kevin Faherty and I are finishing up the song for the Carousel of Happiness. If you ever find yourself there, you should give me a call, I’m probably less than a mile away. (Is this going on my website? I’m not famous enough for that to be a problem, right?)

February brings another road trip, first to California, then to Memphis for the Folk Alliance conference. Then on to Austin to talk about CD making. I’ve got 17 songs, need to pare down to 10 (I figure nobody has the attention span for 17 songs)

Although it is not yet reflected in the ‘Shows’ tab, my year is starting to shape up with trips to California in February and July, New England in April and August, Texas in November. I hope to get back to my old 100 to 150 shows per year soon! If you have booking ideas, please give a shout – it’s all new to me again. 

See you out there.

So good to see old friends, and meet new ones. It was comfortable onstage, probably more than ever. That was a bit of a surprise, but a welcome one. What fun to travel with Christine Lavin, Uncle Bonsai, and Larry Murante, and to play again with Daryl S. Was great to visit Portland and friends there. To play at the Freight & Salvage again, Be turned onto new venues like Studio E in Sebastopol, and more, and still get to go spend Christmas with mom – very nice.

Some immediate success as Gift of the Magi was the 8th most played CD, and I  made #7 on the most played artists list. (Just One Angel was the 3rd most played CD!)

I’m spending January holed up in the mountains working on some new music, staying warm.

I’m ready to go anywhere, not ready for to fade. For Booking, contact Steve Brockway at Steve@QuantumArts.net - 970-412-6731
Of course it you know me personally, you can also send me a note  at 7minutemile@gmail.com.

All my best,
Darryl
