Laurel Canyon Back Porch Variety Hour gets legs(?)

I loaded slide shows up on YouTube to go with the 12 segments of our Laurel Canyon Back Porch Variety Hour.

Laurel Canyon Back Porch Variety Hour

It’s the Laurel Canyon Back Porch Variety Hour!

Yes, I was honored and humbled to be a part of this event, hosted by Bill Heathrow & Sammy Levine. Nostalgic western sounds, corny country humor, Hokie Okie presentation. A real hootenanny! (Whether it’s a put-on or the real deal, I’ll never know, but I don’t think it matters.)

I shared the stage with TC Ragstix, Amy Wray, Tracy Dixon, and those crazy bastards from Ozark Otis & the Oxnard Eight.

We played a few of my new songs, and one by the great Duke Wray. We’re keeping our creative hands busy between projects, and having fun.

Check it out!(Click the play button at the bottom left of the photo.)
