May is looking to be a busy lead-in to the summer months.  Some semi-regular gigs are happening at Starfish Brasserie in Downtown Bethlehem on Friday, May 7th (8-11pm) and at  Melt in Center Valley on Friday, May 14th (5:30-8:30pm).  Our regular fourth Saturday appearance at Sette Luna has been moved to the fourth Friday this month, the 21st of May.  Music still starts at 9pm. I will also be playing  Sette Luna’s Sunday Jazz Brunch on the 9th (bring Mom out for Mother’s Day) and the 23rd.  Music is from noon-3pm.  Special guest Mike Lorenz accompanies me on guitar at both gigs.

We return to Porter’s Pub in Easton for jazz night on Thursday the 27th (8-11pm) and then open the 2010 City of Easton Jazz in the Square Music Series on the 28th.  The music happens in Centre Square starting at 7:30pm.  Bring a chair and some goodies.  In case of rain we will be playing in the Gold Room at the Eastonian.

In other news, we will be appearing at Musikfest this year on Friday the 13th of August at Plaza Tropical!!  Always a great place to play. This will probably be the debut of the new “Dig Doug” t-shirts and stickers.  Get one!!

Also, be on the lookout for a new CD to be released this summer.  The actual recording will be taking place in early June and the current plan is to record four new songs.  These songs will be available for purchase at shows or through our new music distribution partner Yawma, which is an iTunes for independent artists.  Check out their site — it’s a really great idea.

As always, thanks for listening.  Hope to see you soon.
