I’ll be flying down solo for this week long event that will feature me in many settings. Two different concerts along with a pair of master classes throughout the week. Really looking forward to this international gathering of musicians!
The legendary Cranktones include Jim Cox on Hammond B-3, Tom Child on bass, Craig Copeland on guitar and vocals and the powerful drum duo of John Ferraro and Chad Wackerman. We’ve had this “fun band” since the early 80s and can barely contain the joy we feel when we detonate on stage. This will be an afternoon concert starting at 4:00PM!
John and I have known each other for many years and played all over the world together. His work with the Hellecasters first caught my ear back in 1992. I followed his career through his work with Elton John, his gypsy jazz group and his electric band and his bluegrass band. We’ve worked together in the studio and found we have a kindred spirit when it comes to music, and many of the same influences. This will be an inspired […]
We’ll play a rare acoustic show at Soho for the Santa Barbara Acoustic Concert Series. It will be a bit of back porch blues, some bluesy covers and a handful of CVB originals. A whole different show featuring the whole band!
Our annual West Coast Tour always starts with an Oakland concert at Yoshi’s! It’s a traditional kick-off venue that we all enjoy each year. This time we’ll feature 3 or 4 brand new songs that have yet to be recorded!
Playing this big stage and great sounding room is one of the highlights of our year! We’ve got new music and some surprise cover songs done the “CVB way!”
I love the sound in these old theaters. The stage is usually pretty high so every seat in the house is great!
This is an outdoor show on San Juan Island under a big tent. It makes for a wonderful afternoon / evening where the last time we played here some local islanders got up and danced! So fun!
We make sure to keep in shape and keep our music alive by playing the legendary Baked Potato a few times a year. This will be in the middle of a busy summer of festivals and mini-tours on the west coast so the band will be on fire!
This late afternoon concert will be the perfect ending to a perfect beach day in Laguna! Starting at 5:30pm and going to sunset….
Everyone that plays here or attends a show here can attest: it’s the perfect listening room. On stage you can hear every tiny nuance in the music. And since I spend many hours working on the tone, I find that very inspiring!
We’ve played this beach club a few times down south of LA. It’s a big space with an excellent sound system. Always a fun evening, but this time watch for some surprise guests!
This awesome museum of musical instruments is also affiliated with the NAMM organization that pulls together music makers and instrument builders from around the world. I’ve been attending NAMM shows every January (except the one I was on tour with Supertramp) since 1983 so I feel like I’m part of the family. We always sell out the theater here so get your tickets early!
This will be the first show on our “Promised Future” Tour. It’s a venue we’ve never played in a town we’ve never been to, which is always exciting!
This is a very small venue that we don’t actually fit on! So we have to improvise and play different, more acoustic music. It’s always a challenge but satisfying at the end of the night!
I think I played in Winterbach back in the 90s, but I don’t remember the venue! This place is new to us and looks like a lot of fun for a Saturday night!
A new venue for us in one of my favorite cities in Bavaria!
It’s been about 8 years since we played Slovakia…I’m looking forward to coming back!
Always the nicest people at this little club in beautiful Austria! Looking forward to tearing it up!
Some of my good friends have played here in this cool little venue. We’re coming back!
This is one of the best sounding rooms in all of Europe. We always enjoy the acoustics….and the food! And Saturday night will be on fire!
Last time we played Wangen there was a flower festival going on and the little town was absolutely magical!
We haven’t played here in YEARS! It will be great to see some old friends and fans!
Another new venue for us in another new town!
We’ve only played here once before and I remember the amazing sound system and monitor mix on stage. Looking forward to coming back to this very respected venue!
For many years the Downtown Blues club was our home base in Hamburg. But I believe we’ve found a new one at the Kent Club….hope to see you all there!
It was completely packed the last time we played here! And this time it’s a Friday night so get your tickets early!
A new venue for us on a Saturday night! What could be more fun!
An afternoon concert! Always fun in Holland…
Might have to play the blues here in honor of my hero Muddy Waters!
This funky little club deep in the forest is always a lot of fun!
The Lord of the Strings concert series is an honor to play each year, and this year will be the full band. Acoustic, electric and everything in between! See you there at this acoustically perfect venue!
