Putting together a tour can be compared to various puzzles (Sudoku is the one that my spouse and I do daily). A great many pieces need to come together to be successful, and when some upon which one is depending shift or cancel or do not confirm, it is easy to become anxious and worried.
This is an exercise in faith and trust. When I step out and commit to certain gigs and work hard to put together opportunities to share beautiful and fun music with people I prepare myself to be amazed at the connections and rich opportunities for growth and friendship to develop.
(I am currently finishing up details for my April tour which begins in Laurel, MD and finishes in Tulsa, OK; all while booking 2 summer tours: one in June and one in July.) See the updated schedule here.
