NAMM and this week’s highlights

The appearance at the NAMM show was a success! I put together a short set, a couple of medleys of Young Dubliners riffs, and demoed new Framus gear at the Framus/Warwick booth.

In addition to showing off the wares, I shared the schedule with other luminaries who play Framus/Warwick gear, like TM Stevens & Jonas Hellborg, John B. Williams, and Kevin ‘Brandino’ Brandon. Here’s a link to the Framus website with more details:

And in other news, the Young Dubliners new album will drop on February 3rd, and along with alot of excitement, I am up to my eyeballs is activity! The bandannounced a special offer on our website, where any CD’s pre-ordered early directly from us would be signed by the entire band. Lo and behold, we ended up sitting before a pile of over 1000 CD’s to sign one recent evening!

I began the task in earnest...



After the 3rd hour, fatigue began to set in. Hands began to cramp...


By late in the evening, all the CD’s were signed!


This weekend found the Young Dubs performing at the “Go Back 100” festival in West Palm Beach, Florida, and it was a good shakedown cruise for our traveling chops. Got to get ready for a 4-week tour!

Appearing at NAMM this Sunday

Hey now,

I'm getting ready to make an appearance at the North American Music Merchants (NAMM) tradeshow in Anaheim, CA. I'll be there this Sunday, January 18th, at 1PM. I will be demonstating Framus Guitars and amps and playing some Young Dubliners music, all at the same time. If you're going to the show, stop by the Framus/Warwick booth and hang out.
