Dear Live Music Venue Owner:

Here are two easy steps to avoid double booking.

1) Don't book entertainment unless you have the music calendar directly in front of you. Don't rely on your memory....human memory is notoriously unreliable.

2) ADVERTISE your music schedule on your FB page and/or website. That way any mistakes will be immediately apparent to you or the bands you have booked.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, our Friday show was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. That sucks, but we will be back at Coleman's on Feb 02.

Bio

I remember precisely the night I wanted to be a rock star...when I heard all those girls screaming for the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. I also remember when I decided to be a guitar player. When I heard β€œAre You Experienced?” by Jimi Hendrix; that backward guitar was the coolest sound I’d ever heard!

I nagged my parents night and day until they finally relented and bought me a used Silvertone electric guitar made by Sears and Roebuck. I hibernated in my room practicing along to records until my fingers bled. I took lessons here and there from various guitarists and played in numerous garage bands along the way. I took an interest in classical guitar in my early 20’s and still enjoy playing classical music and popular music arranged for solo nylon string guitar.

I moved to Texas in my mid 20’s where I lived for over 30 years. I played in several touring bands across central Texas playing classic rock, country and blues.

Since moving back to the East Coast, I now perform as Blue Lava playing the great 70’s music I grew up on with a special emphasis on entertaining guitar arrangements.
