Upcoming Midwest Tour: Ravinia and More!

10/10/2018

Midwest Tour: Chicago, South Bend, Detroit and Lansing!

To celebrate the launch of my second album, River City, I will be doing a number of tours with my trio over the next six months. The first tour on the schedule is a return trip to the Midwest from October 12th-16th. This tour will feature appearances at some of our favorite venues from the previous tour: Merriman's in South Bend, Cliff Bell's in Detroit and Moriarty's in Lansing. I am also particularly excited to be debuting at an incredible performing arts center in the Chicago area called Ravinia. On October 13th at 8:30pm, we will be performing at Ravinia's beautiful Bennett Gordon Hall. On the afternoon leading up to this, I will also be doing a special solo accordion performance of material from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake as part of a plaque dedication at the Legacy Walk in Chicago. This tour promises to be an incredible time, and I can't wait to see all my friends in the area! Click on any of the links above to see more info about each performance.

Let us claim the idea that your Midwest Tour will be a huge success! The fans have missed you a lot since it has been a while since the last comeback that you had. By the way, can you please tell us more about Ravinia? I am quite curious because you said that you have planned this for a very long time. It also takes guts to debut something, that's why I want to ask you what could be that turning point that you had coming up with a decision that you need to debut Ravinia? There are so many people who would want to know too!
