I’ll be hitting the road for a quick trip to the Midwest this week– playing at a new venue in Waterloo, IL- thanks to my very good friends Ken and Barbara Leonard on Thursday night before rolling out to Sugar Creek, MO for Friday and Saturday’s annual Sugar Creek Slavic Festival performances. (rolling is the operative word once you see the new Cabbage Roll dance that has been choreographed for this year’s fest). I am always honored to come back and experience the great hospitality at the Slavic Fest- with amazing food, great Kolo dancers and of course getting my yearly jam in with accordion idol Don Lipovac. (Who, if you’ve never seen or heard, you need to. He’s one of my all time favorite musicians.)
