Hey, this is what my neighborhood looked like on December 2nd… How about yours?  I think we can safely say winter is here!  I can’t say I mind the cold as long as there’s also lovely white snow… Not looking forward to the slush though!

October and November!

I had such a nice run of shows to close out October before my November break… The show on Oct 23 with  Abbey Martin, Nadine Douds  and me at the Breezeway Home was an absolute pleasure.  Thanks to all who came out to listen to us in Dennis Inserra’s warm, welcoming space.  The very next night on October 24, I played music for the Three Rivers Waterkeeper annual fundraiser at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company out in Creighton PA.  Big space, big fundraiser for a very good cause, and big fun! Then on October 30,  Nadine Douds traded songs for travellers at the Pittsburgh International Airport.  And finally on November 2,  David Hawkins and I had a blast playing in the Ruckus Sunday Night Music at the Ruckus Cafe!

That should have been it for November, but as luck would have it, I played a couple of last-minute gigs at the Three Little Birds Cafe and Juice Bar in Allison Park — once with one of my favorite fiddlers, Alice Backer! I hope to be back there again soon, perhaps playing with more friends!

December Holidays

I’m looking forward to a restful December.  I’m continuing to take it easy, other than playing some music with Jett Downey, Susan Spangler and David Bennett for a Winter Solstice Celebration at 7pm on December 21 at the First Unitarian Church in Shadyside.

Have a great winter break too, and look for my January newsletter… I’ll have plenty to tell you about January and beyond!

As always, late breaking news and information at brianjunkermusic.com.

See you out in the world!
