Tonight the Gold Hill Inn opens its doors for the 2007 season…….and we get to play the occasion! My friend recently asked me why I love playing there so much. As I answered that small queston for him, I realized that I also answered a bigger question for myself. What I said was….. I have a new CD called Lickskillet Road which is due out later this year. Six out of the thirteen songs on the CD reference my life in and around Gold Hill. My music is inspired by the history, beauty, and charm of this place I am fortunate to call home. And what I realized was….. places like Gold Hill sum up the whole reason I play acoustic Americana music at all. Americana music encompasses a wide variety of musical genres because of the diverse range of cultural influences which we call American. It is roots music based on tradition. The places in the world that move me, like Gold Hill, are music that moves others. The show steeped in history and tradition. They inspire me to make starts at 9pm tonight!
