I have a new violin player joining me on my show at Banjo Jim’s this coming Saturday. His name is Tom Swafford.

We had another rehearsal this weekend and it went very well. I really think you will enjoy what he adds to my songs. He moved here from Seattle a couple of years ago, plays around with various New York groups, and is the composer/arranger for String Power, a 12 piece string ensemble. I saw the group a couple of weeks ago at The Tea Lounge in Park Slope and they were fabulous.
