New Year, Full Steam

Happy New Year! May 2011 bring you enough...

I’m excited to hit the ground running this year with a slate of regional performances, many featuring the full WW Band – a Seattle tune-up this Saturday and then the long-awaited swing through those Eastern Washington hills that I call home. (Pullman & Spokane, get ready!! <skip there> Full band features Alicia Healey, Brian Hoskins, Dave Bush, Erin Kreiger, & Amanda Monger)

In town, the Seattle Bushwick Book Club shows continue to amuse and delight, with a posse of songwriters tackling one classic-ish work each month. (Just recorded my The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tune, “Edmond Gets Served,” last night...will post when ready!) This Sunday features A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, with High Fidelity coming in February at the Century Ballroom and Where the Sidewalk Ends teaming with Town Hall’s Saturday Family Concerts in March.

And as nauseated as many become by year-end lists, it was a treat to see By the Side of the Lake sneak onto a few: recap here. All the info you’d ever want about recordings and digital media, of course, lies at www.wesweddell.com.
