A Week of Great Music!

There are four great performances I am doing coming up starting Thursday, March 5 through Tuesday, March 10. I'll even arrange a special "prize" for anyone attending all four - you just have to make contact with me at all four so I know you were there! Here's the info (click on links for more info):

Thursday, March 5, 7 PM
Sonoluminescence will perform at the Schneider Museum of Art on the Southern Oregon University campus. Sonoluminescence is Todd Barton, Bruce Bayard, Suzee Grilley, Terry Longshore, and Michael Maag - an improvisational/multi-media quintet exploring the boundaries of sound, light, and movement. Our performance will be featured as part of the exhibition, Arps Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.

Come enjoy our monthly First Friday Flamenco with Dúo Flamenco at the Standing Stone Brewing Co. Head out for the Ashland Gallery Association ArtWalk and then join us for some great music, food, and drink!


Monday, March 9, 8 PM
I am pleased to bring virtuoso sitarist Kartik Seshadri to Ashland again. The concert will be held in the Music Recital Hall at SOU. Kartik performed here 5 or 6 years ago and for those of you who heard him, you know it is an experience not to be missed! One of my former teachers, Kartikji is a disciple of the legendary Ravi Shankar and one of the most amazing musicians I have ever worked with. He will be accompanied by tabla virtuoso Arup Chattopadhyay.


Tuesday, March 10, 8 PM
The SOU Percussion Ensemble will present "Be Prepared" in the Music Recital Hall at SOU. Our featured piece will be "Concerto for Prepared Piano" by Erik Griswold featuring prepared piano soloist, Joseph Yungen. Also featured on the concert will be "Wart Hog # 3" by Austin Wrinkle, "Just Buckets" by Brian Justison, "Alone or Together" by Eugene Novotney, "Boom" by Terry Longshore & Brett Reed, and traditional Mexican marimba music from Chiapas and Zapateados.

Dúo Flamenco at Elements in Medford

Dúo Flamenco performed at Elements in Medford on Monday, February 9. It was great fun - packed house, great energy, good food and drink...fun night! It was a paella party and their chef, Chad, made some delicious seafood paella served in a 36" paella pan!

Dúo Flamenco to debut at Standing Stone Brewing on Friday, February 6

To those of you in the Rogue Valley, you may have heard T's Restaurant and Grill, home of our montly First Friday Flamenco, is now closed for good. We are very sad to see the passing of this wonderful local place and wish all of our friends there the best in their next step. Thanks to Tika for her support of local music!

However, Dúo Flamenco, guitarist Grant Ruiz and myself, will now present its monthly First Friday Flamenco at The Standing Stone Brewing Co., another of our favorite local spots. We are very excited to be there this Friday, February 6, from 8-10pm and we hope you will come out and support our monthly flamenco in it's new location! If you haven't been to Standing Stone in the last month or two, they have a new menu which is very exciting. So come out after the art walk and enjoy some great food, drink, and flamenco!
