Hi Good Folks! I'm just returning from the incredible vibe up in Idyllwild for this last weekend's jazz festival. Electric weather, spirited people and it’s always a joy to share our sonic vision with both humans and the towering trees. Thunder, humidity, sun, rain, winding two lanes and some Indian food! (aloo gobi to be exact). Idyllwild rocks!

I have a busy playing week coming up and every night it’s a different ride. Check it out.

First up is tomorrow night’s solo Roxy gig in Encinitas. The revolution continues on! “We’ll keep ‘em playing here until the surf at Beacon’s resembles Uluwatu. Then we’ll let him go.” It looks like it’s gonna be a while…

The scene at the Roxy last Saturday night. That's Kevyn on the left and me on the right and dig the pandemonium on the floor. Beautifully out of control!

Also in attendance at the Roxy almost every night we play is Ben and Jackie, the happy people. Here Ben leaves the world outside and travels with me into the sonic unknown.

I’m playing at Ki’s in Cardiff on both Friday and Saturday nights. Joining me on Friday will be avatar guitarist Fred Benedetti and together we'll weave some jazz and flamenco.

For Saturday night it’ll be vocalist Lisa Hightower and I exploring some gems from yesteryear mixed in with some Jobim beauties.

The week rounds out with me paying a solo visit to the cool setup at the Boathouse Restaurant in Coronado. I’ve played there before and it's always a good time and a classic view.

That’s it and thanks for checking this out, Peter
