It's a been a busy summer for me, thus far, traveling near and far, spreading truth, justice, and plenty of high notes. But I've got plenty more shows before autumn arrives. The best way to keep tabs on my whereabouts is to either read The Daily Planet, follow me on social media, or check out my calendar here.

Here are just a few highlights for the weeks to come:

Friday, July 18 -- Brookeville Beer Farm

20315 A Georgia Avenue, Brookeville, MD 20833

6 to 9 pm

Lots of tasty beverages and wood-fired pizza! I'll be joined by guitarist Kristoffer Belgica and bassist Cyndy Rice Elliott. Swing, jazz, and just a taste of klezmer. If the weather cooperates, we'll be on the outdoor stage. Otherwise, we'll be inside. No cover!

Saturday, July 19 -- Creative Cauldron

127 E Broad Street, Falls Church, VA 22046

7:30 to 9:15 pm

Seated concert in a fabulous intimate venue. Advanced ticket purchase is a MUST! Klezmer, jazz, swing, and more with guitarist Michael Raitzyk and bassist Daniel Brown. Both in-person and virtual livestream tickets available.

Saturday, July 26 -- Stage West Arts Collective

(Performing Arts Center at Garrett College)

687 Mosser Road, McHenry, MD 21541

7:30 to 9:30 pm

Our triumphant return to western Maryland! We had so much fun here last summer, and it's a magnificent hall, so if you're anywhere in the vicinity, don your cape and fly to see us! Jazz, swing, and klezmer with yours truly, vocalist Flo Anito, pianist Sean Lane, bassist Bob Abbott, and drummer Wes Crawford. Get your tickets in advance!

The shows I've listed above are just highlights. I'm rarely in my Fortress of Solitude these days.

So check out the full schedule and pay me a visit sometime soon! (Just don't bring me any salads. They're like kryptonite to me.)
