Aligning the Ducks

solo live record, january shows

I just put out a live show on bandcamp for download. The sound tech, Dave, recorded it straight to cassette at my December 16 show in Seattle opening for Brennen Leigh. The night was a blast, it was good to see the Ballard usuals, the old Seattle friends, and the brick streets and fishboats of my favorite Seattle neighborhood.

The year is slowing down, wrapping up, and making its final slide into home plate. I’ve spent this winter thinking about baseball, writing new work, and aligning the ducks before a very tour-full 2026. Here’s the tip of the iceberg:

1/9 - Trout Lake Hall, WA w/Erik Koskinen

1/10 - Bellingham, WA - New Prospect w/Shadow Basket

1/11 - Vancouver, CA - Wise Hall w/Bob Sumner
