Vance in Maryland - his Mamma's hometown - then to Mansfield, MA

Hi Everyone:

By the time you read this, I'll be recording the last tune for the new album, so far entitled "Old White Men". Best one yet - yes, "My Bad" and the title song will be on it…

I'll be in the studio Tuesday doing the last song, then there's back-up vocals, mixing, etc.

In the meantime, I still have to work, the whole reason for all of this album-making. And yeah, scroll down the page and you'll see that I am opening for Aretha Franklin in June….

Here's where I'll be ….

Great food, a dinner setting, ample parking, this place is really a gift as acoustic rooms go. What a nice place to be on a Thursday night...This place seems to fill up quickly, so reserve now

Off to the Eastern shore…. I love this place's motto - "small club……BIG SHOWS!!".  Cross the bridge to see me if you want to. Folks on this side of the bay and folks from Delaware, you got no excuse!!!

Now, to be honest, I've never played here. I hear they have a nice open mike before I go on. And my agents, in their infinite wisdom, well, maybe they conferred and said "Gee, let’s put him 30 miles from the place he just played 2 nights ago in case anyone 1) wants a repeat or 2) missed him…." In any case, if you missed me because Thursday was a school night or you just want more, here I'll be.

Last but surely not least, here I am back home. Mansfield is not far from the house. This coffeehouse was one of the first in New England to have me after I made noise at local Boston area open mikes in the 90's...call for tickets early, ‘cause I'm an institution here and the house will probably fill up...

Below is where I'll be later in our lives...
