Mel's back! After a stint in Portland Oct-Nov, adventures in Australia in Nov-Dec, and a month on the road with OnStage Alaska in January, Mel and Sweet Ginger Heat have three shows in Estes Park, CO, this week, including a solo gig (with Gary Hall on guitar) at Mary's Lake Lodge TONIGHT! From here, I'll head back to Portland, to begin rehearsals as accordion player for "Go, Dog, Go!" at Northwest Children's Theater. Then - back to AK, starting with the Juneau Folk Festival in mid-April.
