Tonight, Elaine Summers and I play one of our all-time favorite venues. It’s our third time taking the stage in the Kay White Hall at Vashon Center for the Arts.

There are a handful of tickets left. Available online today (3/29/25) until 5 pm PT. Or you can try your luck with walk up after that.

For those who can’t make it, here is a clip of “Small Time Blues” from last year. And if you are coming, this will get you primed.

Paid subscribers can download this video—in 4K—by visiting my rarities page. Audio recorded, mixed and mastered by Martin Feveyear. Video by John Jeffcoat.

Elaine and I made what I’m hoping will be the final tweaks to the setlist yesterday. And rehearsals with our surprise special guest went swimmingly. I wish we could take this gifted musician on the road with us.

On the road? Yep! As I mentioned in this post from January 24, 2025, we will hit the pavement later this year. First up is a mini-tour of the West Coast. Stay tuned to this space for details. Or you can follow me over at BANDSINTOWN.

Peace & Love Songs,

Pete

PS: I wrote a little ditty to promote tonight’s show. You can check out the demo for the unreleased song this tune was loosely based on in this post from February 9, 2024.
