Hey, everyone! The first live stream concert was a huge success! Thank you to everyone that watched and tipped me in my virtual tip jars. Your support and generosity was breathtaking. It really helped relive some of the stress of getting my whole show calendar wiped for the foreseeable future. I’ve got a lot of interest in me doing another live streaming concert, so let’s do it! The concert will be this Saturday from 8-10pm CST. I want this show to be different than the first, so this time the setlist will be entirely comprised of your requests! So please make your song requests on this event page before the concert starts, and I’ll make sure to add them to the list. Obviously, requesting one of my originals or a cover you know I already do, is the easiest for me. Ha! That being said, if you’d like me to perform a song I don’t already know, please feel free to ask (ASAP), and I’ll let you know if it’s something I think I can pull off. LOL. Finally, 2 hours is a long time to perform without a break. I’ll be taking a break this time at 9pm to talk to you all, and respond to your comments. It will be fun! I’ll then finish out the night with the rest of your requests. I hope you can join me!

“27” – Original
“I Want You Badly” – Original
“Beautifully Deconstructed” – Original
“Somebody Told Me” – Original
“Just Like Heaven” – The Cure

Although SpringFest at Woodward Park is currently postponed, we found it extremely distressing to leave our plant vendors stuck with inventory and negative impacts to their income and livelihoods, so we found a solution – SpringFest To Go! What better way to remedy our customer’s cabin fever and help them get started on their spring planting than to provide a drive-up service for plant purchases!
We’ve teamed up with local plant vendors to offer an online, pre-order/pre-pay drive-up service with scheduled appointment times in 15 minute intervals to minimize public contact. Stop by, stay in your car, and let our gloved staff load up your plants! Shop below, schedule your appointment time, and then come visit us in Woodward Park!
