Loved every minute of the show. For me your delivery with just an acoustic and two voices cast a bunch of your songs in a new light -- ones I thought I knew well but heard differently. Impossible for you to go wrong given the quality of your songs, you could pick anything! Still some surprises and I loved the newest one in the second set. Great first trip to Vashon, an excuse to visit local friends. Will be back!
Ive been the lonely Mamma for 3 years now ugh! Your song I LOVED, It made me feel like someone understands that is NOT a mother in certain lyrics. Your awesome!
Brakeman! Pulling out all of the stops 😜. I just never imagined opening with that one because I never pictured it acoustic. Wish I could have heard that and everything else!
Thank you for sharing the set list too. Sounds like a perfect show.
Already have friends asking me who that is singing your lonely mama track👍
It was a wonderful show, and a memorable first visit to Vashon. Thank you again for playing Beautiful Girl. It meant a lot and was a wonderful performance!
Hi Pete...what a great show. Loved the tweaks on the rhythm and phrasing on most of the songs that fit so well with the acoustic evening, yet maintained the essence of your composing that is so good. Would've loved to hang around after and share a pretty compelling personal story related to Going Whichever Way, but, had to make that ferry! But, needless to say, I was thrilled you did it and I do thank you for including it. Congrats on such a great show!
How it is that through many years, great artists, such as yourself, are able to winnow, reduce, and pare down, so that the net effect is the polar opposite: Work through its sheer simplicity alludes to — everything? Magical. And let me add that your time and groove on that guitar makes you one of the all time great drummers. Take note guitarists!
Hi Peter- Thank you for this! This one of those songs that begged for 'sheer simplicity.' Regarding time and groove... that's my feel... the downtempo laid back vibe is my happy place. Soon some local musician pals and I are going to get together to just play for fun... and I get to be the DRUMMER!!! I love drumming.

Hi Jon... Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad that you dug the acoustic renditions. And the new material.
Such a beautiful song. Floats around my head so much throughout the day
Thanks, Travis.

Thank you, Robin. It's great when a song can make one feel understood.
Nicely done, Pete. Lovely song-
Thanks, Steve.

Hi Brian- Brakeman worked out as an opener. Glad to hear your friends are asking about Lonely Mama. That's a good sign, I reckon.

Hi Jacob- Thanks... I'm glad you appreciated hearing Beautiful Girl. And I'm glad you had a memorable visit.

Hi Dan- Thanks! Happy to hear you loved the way we re-imagined the songs for an acoustic show. Sorry you were not able to share you story. Next time!
Great!!
Thank you!

A Droge show is still on my bucket list. Hope you come to Vegas.
For now we're keeping the gigs close to home. But hoping to venture out on the road one of these days.
Hope to see you on the East Coast soon!
Hi Hobart- I hope for that too. We'll make it happen one of these days.
