Avalon Rising: Our third album, "Elbows & Antlers", is out! (cover Design by Peter Overstreet) Click here for more information and to purchase cd's t-shirts, etc..      Avalon Rising's tune set "Musical Pesto" has been used in an indie film called Cost of a Soul which won Rogue & AMC Theatres "Big Break Movie Contest".

Avalon Rising's second album, "Storming Heaven", received wonderful reviews, including a fabulous review in Guitar Player Magazine. Referring to us as "absolutely stellar musicians", the review includes one of the best complements I've ever had, when referring to Margaret and I:
 
"The duo's soaring, almost achingly sensual phrasing gives age-old and original melodies near-cinematic impact. (Don't be surprised or embarrassed if you shed a tear when listening to their plaintive harmonic dances -- it just means you're a living, breathing, feeling person.)" 
- Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine
 
Avalon Rising's first two albums are available on iTunes, Amazon.com and CD Baby. Also visit us on YouTube.

Dickens Christmas Fair
The 2011 Great Dickens Christmas Fair was Spectacular! I am entertainment director for this wonderful holiday event, which is held at San Francisco's Cow Palace every holiday season. The 2011 Great Dickens Christmas Fair was truly spectacular and the 2012 season, with five weekends, promises to be even more so!  We're already planning for this year's event, so if you're interested in visiting, click here and if you're interested in participating, 
This video from Foolish Tree Films captures the feeling of what the Fair is all about very well.
