On THURSDAY, July 31st, I’ll celebrate my 2nd year of having the privilege of having a steady place to make the music I love on a regular basis! Its truly an honor.

To that end, I’m having the FV Blues and Standards groups with special guests. We’ll go inside and out because its ALL good music and these guests are special indeed. I do hope you’ll join us!
