2010 - Change is coming

Hey all,

Yup, I dropped off this blog thing for a few months. Sorry.

Anyway, as 2009 comes to a close, I look to 2010 for some changes in my schedule and activities. It's been a fun year of performing with various bands, but there needs to be some reduction in projects. Not only do I want to put in more time with my home studio and music, I also need to have more free time to just relax. So, there will be some changes, but I'm not announcing anything quite yet.

It also looks like 2010 will be an exciting year for progressive music tours. Prog super group Transatlantic is going on a brief tour of the USA in April, and I'll be at the Chicago show with good friend Adam Talley. In June, UK celtic/progressive group Iona will be returning to the USA shores for a brief tour. They are kicking things off at Nearfest in PA, and closing the tour with a show at Cornerstone Festival in IL. The band is working on dates to fill in the two weeks between these dates, and I'm hoping they get a bit closer. However, Nearfest also has Steve Hackett (ex-Genesis guitarist) performing, so that has my attention.

In general, I'm hoping to do a better job keeping sites updated, and just enjoy what I have. I've had my fill of trying to do everything I can.

Happy Christmas - Merry New Year - and thanks for reading.
