WILBR, Liam Keen and
Lori Grigsby with the “Chopped Liver Rhythm Section”
(Ron Goad - percussion, John Werntz - bass)
I met WILBR at the open mic at the New Deal Cafe in May. He was traveling the east coast playing open mics and clubs, sharing his journey of self discovery along the way. What a gifted young man. I was incredibly honored when he invited me to play an opening set for him at this show. And much to my unparalleled delight, Ron Goad (percussion) and John Werntz (bass) agreed to join me for my set. Liam Keen was amazing, and WILBR once again blew me away. It was an unforgettable evening.
My beautiful friend Jean Van White is an artist with a camera. She took a slew of wonderful photos at the show. These are a few of my favorites.

It was a beautiful surprise when the SAW president, Jay Keating asked me to play a song to fill in for one of the Fairfax Folk Festival performers who was unable to make it that day. What an amazing group of multi-talented musical people. It was such a blessing to be included. Thank you Jay and everyone else involved for creating such a magical event.
