Free Guitar Clinic on Wednesday, February 29th at 6:30pm
On Wednesday, February 29th, I will be performing a free clinic at the Langley Adams Library in Groveland. The clinic will start at 6:30 and run until 7:30. I will play some of the material from my new disc, Guitar Boot Camp, along with some tunes from my album Basement Tapes. I will answer questions, talk about practicing, the equipment I use, etc. There will also be a Morley t-shirt raffle. 50% of all cd sales from the evening will go to Music Drives Us, and anyone that purchases both Guitar Boot Camp and Basement Tapes will receive a free cd from my old prog-rock band, Storms Approach. I am very excited about this event, and I hope you can join me!
