What’s New?

An album of (mostly) American country songs, tailored for English audiences.

I sing and play tenor English Concertina.  On first 5 songs Rebecca Richman floats fiddle, Henry Nagle slings all sorts of guitars and Jerry Wimmer bottoms-out on the bass. 

Then I moved the project to Derek Bianchi’s Muscletone Studio in Berkeley, where Ray Bierl added his sublime fiddle and Sean Allen his oh-so-tasteful telly.

I played concertina on “Urge for Going” in this new recording of songs from Canadian songwriters by exquisite California singer Kate Price.

Duet with David Grisman on Stan Wells’ “Hello” on his CD, High Tide

Nauticas—Sweet Music of the Salt Sea

Instrumental versions of Sea Songs and Chanteys

This unique album was recorded 15 years ago by Neil Young in Canyon and recently re-mastered by Toby Seeger in Davis. Nauticas is Peter Kasin on fiddle, Riggy Rackin on concertina, Shay Black on guitar and keyboard, and Dick Holdstock on mandolin and bouzouki.
