Back on the Train, Gang!

I'll be on the "Jazz Under The Stars" train in Santa Fe on February 17th with Robert Muller on keys. The train leaves the station at 7:45 pm and rumbles down the tracks into the dark sky community of El Dorado where you can step out and admire the night sky. Also on the train that night is jazz guitarist, Pat Malone. Robert and I will be in the First Class car where there is assigned seating, a bar and an intimate vibe. You're free to wander the train. It's like a jazz cruise - it's just on the rails.

Gratitude Concert, Friday November 11th

I'll be on Canyon Road with Russell Scanlon on guitar at ViVO Contemporary's Gratitude Concert. The event, hosted by the gallery as a thank you to the community is free and open to the public. We're very much looking forward to playing together in duo format tomorrow. Our set lists promise depth and variety with a little Portuguese and French mixed into the evening's repertoire. Stop by and say hello. Downbeat is at 5:30 pm. We're in the Six to Hit on the SFGA website this week, too!

Zozobra

So, I've been a little busy. First the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe had 32 of these 4' Zozobras designed and molded out of fiberglass. Then I helped place them with 32 artists in 32 locations around town. It has been a blast to be a part of this epic augmentation of the annual celebration of the Burning of Zozobra! This year marks the 100th anniversary of this Santa Fe tradition which began as the highlight of a party with Los Cinco Pintores, in Will Schuster's backyard. Zozobra was "only" 6' tall at that original spectacle. Here we are 100 years later and 32 of these fine art finished little buggers are preparing to congregate at the Convention Center, with the Zozobra effigy being burned on August 30th at Fort Marcy Park. The Zozobra marionette has grown to some 50' tall and the chanting, moans, groans, and fireworks can be seen for miles! Pictured right, is the first piece finished. It was transformed by Santa Fe artist (and former professional rodeo clown)...
