Detours

Saturday, 1 - 3pm

If you've grown tired of marching to everyone else's drummer, tired of others telling you what is good or bad, tired of following fads and you feel like you're wondering through a sterile desolate landscape of music that seems to lack purpose, relevance or any aspect of meaning for you, then you're ready to take a journey with me--a detour. We can avoid the fast lane and journey down back roads to places less known and less traveled. Along the way you might find yourself laughing, crying, singing along-it can be a time out, a break.  Who knows what wonders, what adventures you might find along the way.  The music on Detours is an eclectic mix of Celtic, Folk, Singer-songwriter, Old Time, Early Country - just a little of everything.
