Greeting Good Folks, the big blue is sporting 70-degree water, the evenings are warm, and my schedule is only three quarters of the way out of control. I’m loving this summer!
Tomorrow I’m doing my solo guitar explorations at the Roxy in Encinitas. We get a combination of little squiggly kids peering over my shoulders at the fish tank behind me, hippies on holiday, sage guitaristas dropping in for the hang, surfers fueling up before the surf flick debuting over at the La Paloma Theatre, and finally some regular folks too. It’s brilliant and in the middle of this circus I’m trying to make peace with how an A minor chord can flow to a D7. A zillion options and what a cool ride figuring it out. Hope you can join in.

Looking ahead to next week, I’ve got a busy performance schedule coming up. On Monday night we’re doing a quartet concert at the Pt. Loma Westminster Presbyterian Church Amphitheater. It’ll be great connecting with brother Tripp and the gang for some educated noise.
Next up next week, the amazing Geoffrey Keezer and I are playing a show at the Athenaeum Library in La Jolla. We’ve got bassist Hamilton Price and Duncan Moore in the loop with us and together we’re playing some of Keezer’s originals, a few new ones of mine and then some improvised UFO transitional material still yet to be determined. Got your helmet on yet?
Carter Dewberry, the wonderful cellist in my string group, has just released a new CD and next week in L.A. she’s celebrating it with a concert at the Yost Theatre. I’ve been invited to play a little with her and it’ll be great hearing her singing low notes again.
Ending up next week with an explosion from Brazil, we’re playing a night of Sergio Mendes Brasil ’66 music at Anthology. Stoke! We’ve got Kevyn Lettau (who sang and recorded with Sergio for 10 years), Leonard Patton and Coral MacFarland-Thuet as our front line singing the classic tunes that Sergio made famous. It’ll be a magical night and a perfect groove for a warm July evening.
Look below for the details on all of these gigs and thanks for reading through this. I hope to see you out there for some of the music.
hanging ten, Peter

The Brazilian music of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 had such an impact on most of our lives and it's a thrill to revisit this music and bring some 2009 into the mix. It'll be a great evening of samba... |
