It started as a way to fill a bad booking weekend in 1998, but now after more than 20 years, the campfire. festival has become the single-biggest way that Passim develops new talent and celebrates the Boston area’s amazing music scene. Originally called, “On the Cutting Edge of the Campfire,” the festival combined the idea of artists sitting around the campfire playing music with our commitment to bringing new talent to discerning listeners.

Today, the campfire. festival is as much about the community as it is about the music. “In the round” performances with songwriters swapping tunes are as common as solo and band sets throughout the course of each day of the festival. Labor Day weekend will be a combination of in-person and virtual, with recorded sets being projected in the club and the entire show available through the live stream.

A rare duo set with my Dad!

I'm playing a full solo show to inaugurate a new music series based in Lincoln, VT! A bunch of new songs, fun with multiple looping pedals, plus music from my new EP and some old acoustic favorites too...

Christmas means music – choirs in churches, carolers on the street, performances in theaters. But due to the pandemic, we’re facing a season in which musicians, and their music, are stuck indoors.

The people at Town Hall Theater have cooked up a solution. We’ve gathered together videos of the area’s most popular musicians under the title Holiday Jukebox, which will be streaming online, with the proceeds benefitting the Addison County Food Shelf at HOPE. The Holiday Jukebox will be available from noon on December 24 thru midnight on December 26. A link will be sent to you when you purchase a ticket.

For the General $10 fee you and your household can watch it as much as you like. The Generous ticket price of $25 adds an extra donation to the cause. “I can imagine families watching it, and then tuning in again to listen while they’re preparing Christmas dinner,” says Doug Anderson, Artistic Director.

Anderson has put together an all-star line-up that will offer a wide range of musical styles. On the bill:

The Clint Bierman Family Francois Clemmons The Middlebury Congregational Church Choir The Bengsons Dayve Huckett & Molly McEachen Mindy Hinsdale Bickford Maiden Vermont Josh Panda and Ashley Betton Honey in the Hive – The Bolton/Munkres Family Band Nate Gusakov

“Everybody wins,” says Anderson. “The local musical community will come right into your living room, and the event will help stock the pantry at the Food Shelf. And, I think, we’ll regain some of that sense of community we always feel so strongly during the holidays.”

A long-standing house concert series, adapted for modern times!

A very special evening of local songwriters, featuring Sara Grace, Christine Malcolm, myself, and Josh West. 45 minute sets each, outdoors under the big tent.

I'll be playing a solo set on acoustic and electric banjos as part of NEATV's Studio 2 Summer Music Series -- the show will also be archived on their website. I hope you can check it out!!
