April 16th Two Stage It Shows Live Online:

4:30pm & 8pm Central Standard Time

An early day (for me in Nashville) show for Euro friends & later one for USA fans.  It’s “Pay what you want” ticket

The Stage It platform enables me to play live from my living room to yours.  Many of you live in Towns and Countries I don’t get too often enough.  This way you can message me and make requests, hear new songs, and have a “house show” from your own home.  Stage It requires an initial $5 of credit to sign up (requires credit card or paypal), but you don’t have to pay or tip that to me.  You can use it for other shows later (even mine), or pay an amount you choose to watch and even tip if you feel like it.

See you online.  ~SS

GIRLS album from 2009: Finally available in Compact Disc format:

This album was recorded acoustically with Richard McLaurin adding pedal steel, dobro, b-3 organ, mandolin and guitar.  We did this as a follow up to Something In Between, which we’d worked on the year before.  My record label at the time decided not to release it, so instead I just made it available on iTunes.  But many people have asked me over the years to issue it on CD…so after a long wait it is now available through my website or at my shows (soon it will be on Amazon, CD Baby, etc as well)

Order now from my Bandcamp Store Page:
