Late August


Dear friends,

There is a box of peaches in my kitchen - life is good!

Recently appeared twice in Denver with great response and now coming to Boulder is the new group Marrakech Express. Led by El Yesfi Samir, aka Tito Malaga, and including Anthony Salvo & Brett Bowen, we are exploring music of Morocco, Algeria, Andalusia and more. 

Playing this Thursday at Caffe Sole, the group will be in Denver at the Taste of Colo on Labor Day, and return to Boulder next month.

Marrakech Express

MON  Sept 2,  2:15-3:45pm  Taste of Colo - Heritage Stage

SAT  Sept 7,  Broadway Music School (1940 S Broadway, Den)

I will be hanging out with my dear friends in Sherefe at the Greek Festival Sept 6, 7, 8. You should too! Sets alternate with dance exhibitions and the food is great. 

Coming soon: the monthly gems:
Midday Music Meditation 9/11
Dexter Payne Quintet 9/12

August

Dear friends,

August comes in like a lion and... wait a minute, I must be confused. Summer continues with diverse musical  experiences... "all good" as they say. I am just trying to keep up with the changes. Don't ask me yet what I think! ("Don't start me talkin' - I'll tell everything I know.")

I do have a new music video on youtube (yes, that makes two)  album coming soon! Please visit these and share them with friends. These are actual tracks that will be on the album and I am very excited to finally be sharing them!
