Dalai Lama's Birthday!

Greetings fellow two-leggeds! The V-Tones have been asked to provide music for a local celebration of H.H. Dalai Lama's birthday bash. We'll be celebrating on Saturday, July13th, at Gage Hall, from 6-9pm. This is a fundraiser for the local Charleston Tibetan Society, and it's $10. The food is always good!
Y'all might know that my college degree is in 'Religious Studies' (Reed College , 1989), and my focus was on Eastern Religions. It was quite a thrill to discover a little Dharma center here in the Deep South---but that's a long story best left for another time. Until then, keep on strummin'!

Flip Your Wig at the Hat Shop

Everybody needs a hat! I know that Kennedy was supposed to have stopped the hat in its tracks, but look what happened to him! Hats keep off the sun and rain. I like 'em. I'll be playing for a hat on Thursday, June 27th, from 5-7pm, with some V-Tones at the Goorin Brothers hat shop down here in Charleston. Come on by for some musique antique! Oh yes, FREE
