Grand Annex in San Pedro!
Hello my brothers and sisters in Boston and New York. I've heard another big storm had hit you guys. Oh well, watch yourselves in there. BTW, I'm enjoying nice iced latte at a Starbucks under lots of sunlight right now. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! 😆 Last night, I played to open the famed bluegrass musician, Wille Watson, as a part of the French group I toured with before🇫🇷
Willie really packed the venue and the show was sold out. I was a bit nervous to play non-bluegrass music in front of full-house of hardcore bluegrass fans. I was bracing myself for a few beer bottles thrown this way. There was only one thing I could do, that was to feel confident of ourselves and decided to have lots of fun on the stage as always! Well, the audience was super nice and they did enjoy our performance! I certainly enjoyed playing in there and also enjoyed the Willie's show very much along with everybody in there! That was awesome! 😄👍

Done with the tour!
There wasn't a snowstorm ❄️ We didn't hit any deer 🦌 Therefore it was a very very good tour! 😄👍
We drove ten hours back to Seattle from Great Falls, Montana last night and I'm about to jet to LA.
It was a short tour but definitely was a productive, connected me to lots of great people and sure is leading me to future. The funny thing is that I kind of decided to retire from this touring business a while ago but I realized on this tour that I'm still in love with touring.
I am going to seek the way to somehow do both touring and recording. I just enjoy standing on the stage in front of audience.

Montana Performing Arts Consortium!
I've been touring with Russian 🇷🇺 /Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 group. We are about to play at a conference in Montana and the next 12 minutes will decide our future in 2018 & 2019.
The moment of truth! Tension is maxed out, but I'm still smiling because I am an entertainer. Even if I'm getting cold feet, having 100 butterflies in my stomach and almost peeing in my pants and I'm still smiling, because..... yes, that's right. Because I am an entertainer!
We are going to kick some ass.

Mid-West Tour!
The first tour of the year!
I'm trying to slowly change my career from touring musician to studio musician, and I'm still on the process! This tour is a one-week long short one!
