It's OREGON COUNTRY FAIR TIME again!


Summery greets to you all!
It’s been another zoom of a spring. I’m just back from the annual 3 1/2 week relaxofest at the Kerrville Folk Festival, the best 12 fret program I’ve ever been to and this year was my 37th year! Lotsa guitar, late nights, that sweet Medina river, songs songs songs, and no computer for three weeks – the best retreat from this spinny whirl. Now I’m back in the cityzoom and it already feels like a dream... Whoa...

Here in Oregon now invigourated, just past another birthday and ready to spring into action and it's bout time. This weekend I play a Wordless Guitar gig out on the patio of 16 Tons in South Eugene and then it's Oregon Country Fair time again. This year's dream Qband is non pareil too: Jason Montgomery on bass, Lewi Longmire on mandolin, Michelle Alany on fiddle, Simon Lucas on drums and percussion and me, singing and playing with these great musicians. Hit the Fair link above for the whole amazing three day schedule.

I just pressed the 2nd run of my new CD The Sound of Photosynthesis. Somehow  1000 of em already sold so I had to get more made. Its been getting airplay all over the worldsphere and it’s available at my gigs in person and online at brianqtn.bandcamp.com. I hear itunes has it now too and CDBaby but if you order directly from me. you get album quality files or actual CDs and, it’s so much better. I send em out quick.
