August 2011 Gigs and News
Posted on August 1, 2011
Happy August, everyone!
I'm of mixed feelings about August, actually; too much to do before the end of the summer (including a book I have to finish writing) and not enough time to do it. But there's still lots more time for music this summer. Here's what I have for you this month:
I. News
II. August Shows
III. Video of the Month
IV. Beth in Cyberspace
V. Other Upcoming Shows
I. News -- far afield and then back home
I've been traveling in recently; had shows in 6 different states in June and July. (Including playing in the finals of the Susanne Millsaps Performing Songwriter Competition at the Snowbird Mountain Music Festival. I didn't win, but I had a blast.) The month I'll stay close to home, but the shows are a bit unusual (see below).
And most importantly, the show on August 28th will be broadcast live on the web! So tune in to my very first webcast -- those of you not in those six states I've recently visited or the Boston area can nevertheless get the chance to see a live show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeESEUEg6xE (you can even set it up to send you an email reminder the day before so you remember to tune in!)
