It’s been three years since I took a guitar down to the Rose City for any sort of published appearance, so to make up for lost time I’m dragging the Full Band with me this Saturday (5/7) for a date at Alberta Street Pub in NE Portland. <skip to calendar> Our own Alicia Healey will open the evening with a set of her own, and I can’t promise she won’t drag a few of us on-stage with her along the way. Hope to see you out!

I’ll take aim next at the Tri-Cities, where I’ll bide time before the Tumbleweed Festival with an indoor set for Three Rivers Folklife Society at its usual spot in Pasco, WA (5/21)—details below.

Scurrying right back to Seattle, one could also find me at the next Bushwick Book Club show (5/22 @ Chop Suey), always a hoot and featuring Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman’s memoir Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman (Adventures of a Curious Character) this round. Video of past performances keep popping up here (I made a WW playlist here—March’s Shel Silverstein clips are definitely worth the peek), while I’m keeping MP3s of many of the songs in the Music section of www.wesweddell.com.

Then the Northwest Folklife Festival is upon us Memorial Day weekend, and I’ll join Reilly & Maloney for their special Folklife-turns-40! performance Saturday (5/28), play a set of my own Sunday (5/29), and host Emerald City Songwriter Circles both Saturday/Sunday.

And I’m very pleased to announce that this week I delivered my original choral work, “Sing to Me,” to the Ad Astra Choir at Lindbergh High School (conducted by bandmate Brian Hoskins) in Renton, WA. The group will premiere the piece in a concert June 9.

As a gracious DJ once said to me: “Keep on with your part, and I'll keep on with mine!”
