Happy Holy Daze, friends and fans and family!
My long-time friendship and musical collaboration with Eric Rawlins, which mostly manifests at private events and performances for shut-ins organized by Bread and Roses, breaks out into public view Thursday 1/8 at Duende in Oakland. Advance tickets are available here. Eric and I have released two duo recordings: Home By Morning (1997) and Desert Wind, Rollin’ River (2011). The latter was recorded in my living room by Stephen Barncard, who is best known for recording the Grateful Dead’s American Beauty and David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name. Both CDs are available at dgans.com.discography (and we’ll have ’em for sale at the gigs, of course).
My collaboration with Cincinnati’s Rumpke Mountain Boys continues. I’ll be with them in Newport KY on New Year’s Eve, and we’re planning more collaborations for 2015.
And of course, I continue to perform my “solo electric” show all over the place: festivals, clubs, farmers’ markets, and house concerts. I’ve got a southwest tour scheduled for February 5-15, and lots more in the works for later in the year.
