Re-birth in BC 

Just returned from four days in beautiful Penticton, BC, Canada, where I played three shows at a the Ignite the Arts! festival. It had been five years since I'd last visited Canada, due mostly to Covid, and it felt like a homecoming.

Big thanks to my lovely girlfriend Kirsten for joining me on this trans-national journey and helping me pack my crap around. I'm also deeply grateful to fest organizers Paul Crawford and Julie Fowler who invited us up there. Before leaving, Paul invited me to return this summer for a show at Penticton's Dream Cafe. Can't wait!

Sandman's Bandcamp 

HEY, FOLKS! Greetings from Quarantown, USA. Headquarters of Lockdown, Inc. First off, because people have been asking, if you so desire to download any of my past records, look no further than my Bandcamp page.*  I've written over a hundred songs since my last record in 2016, but I've been way too busy with life to do much recording. Expect a children's record--"Cow Cow"--out by year's

I'm very grateful to The Roxy Theater and the local Missoula community who come out to enjoy good movies, good comedy, & good triple-organic popcorn*. I've been employed at The Roxy for almost seven years, and constantly feel lucky to work here. In 2020 we're expanding into a small building next door so we can install a 4th screen PLUS a new concessions stand. There is a rumor that under the
