I, my prodigiously talented friend Bill Hernandez, and two other locals TBA are each doing 30-minute sets, and I will be doing a preview of RHYTHM AND AUTISM, including some special material written just for this show! If you want to buy advance tickets, you can do that here:. https://cityofhillsboro.ticketspice.com/local-singer-songwriter-22

Dropped Notes is Curious Comedy's musical improv show, and I will be the guest performer! I will not be doing improv but a 20 minute opening mini-set of RHYTHM AND AUTISM. Note that although it's an all-ages venue, it's not a family friendly event so discretion is advised.

Influence Music Hall does it again! This will be a free, all sensory friendly show, 60 minutes long. That means very little amplification, no sudden or loud or high-pitched noises, no singing along or clattery percussion, low lighting, and flapplause and flap-alongs in place of clapping. There will also be space for a silent dance floor, in case people want to express themselves without making voluntary noise. I'll even avoid wearing loud colors! If you have any questions about how this works, don't hesitate to ask me before coming down.

Thanks to my friends at Influence Music Hall and Tualatin Valley Arts, I get to put on RAA in a fabulous theater that can accommodate up to 200 people, with free admission! (Don't be scared by the location; this theater puts on secular programming all the time, and nobody will try to convert you.) Note that this is not the sensory friendly show; that show will be the next day at the Brookwood Library (see separate listing).

This is a very small, intimate theater on the east side, capacity is about 20 people. But here you will get the full theatrical version of RAA, performed on the east side of PDX for the very first time! Admission is free thanks to a grant from the Autism Society of Oregon.

You have to be signed up for camp to attend this show...but if me doing an hour of RHYTHM AND AUTISM is going to tip the balance into the "yes I'm going" column...yay!

This event is free and open to the public, and there will be fantastic visual and performance artistry on display from multiple autistic folks! Eeeeeee!

The La Strada dei Pastelli Chalk Art Festival is a huge event in which East Main Street in downtown Hillsboro is closed off for 4 blocks so that brilliant chalk artists can create gorgeous art right there on the spot, before your very eyes! There will be also crafts and live performances at the Plaza and also on the side streets, and the latter is where I will be, in front of Puppernickel Bakery. I will be preceded there by Henry Kaiser and his 12-string beast (from 12-2 PM), Rob Cork and his fantastic tie-dyed cinematic tuneage (from 2-4 PM), and then me. No props or scenery or AV stuff here, just me with my backing tracks, guitar, and live percussion loops, mixing spoken word/comedy and singing my piece about growing up autistic amid the pop culture cheese of the 1960s and 1970s and how it made me who I am today. Eeeeeee!

The Influence Music Hall gang is back! As usual, we will be situated throughout the downtown Hillsboro area making our noises. Dusty Walt will be performing his excellent repertoire of country classics and deep cuts right before me, from 5-6:30 PM.

Two Hillsboro noisemaking thingies in four days? Yes! I'll be sharing a bill with someone preceding me at 2-4 PM, I will update when I know who it is!

Music-only gig, but what a lineup! Justus will be playing before me at 5 PM, with me at 6 PM, and Los Fumadores (OC and Drew) at 7 PM! Times are approximate. We will be serenading those folks who come out to FNB on a lovely spring evening to eat from the great food trucks and get an awesome dessert from Decadent Creations, which will stay open later for this event.

The Influence Music Hall folks are again serenading the First Tuesday Art Walk patrons in downtown Hillsboro, and this month we have the Rob and Andee Show at a shop that is just teeming with cool and colorful stuff. Also, you get food and don't have to pay anything.

Once again, the Influence Music Hall gang will be taking over First Tuesday in downtown Hillsboro, making our noises at various shops and galleries around the area. Free music and some free munchies too, There will be some indoor seating, and there is so much beautiful stuff in this shop it's unreal!

Note date change! I will be in Eugene with Joey (aka Unkle Nancy) and some of his megatalented friends and student. I plan to premiere the first 15-ish minute piece of my upcoming one-woman show, RHYTHM AND AUTISM, with material never heard before on stage! Stream will be on YouTube Live, I will post the link when I have it.

The show is called Open Mic America but you actually do have to audition, sorta! I've been on this show before and it's always great, I will be one of nine or ten performers, I get two songs, solo acoustic, plus a brief interview. The rest of the lineup TBA, but they always pick good ones!

Time to be announced later, but I'm excited to be part of this show!

I will be playing my tuneage (and some covers) in the lobby here for a reception! Could be some looping, too. First Tuesday ArtWalks are fantastic places to see a bunch of very talented artists and musicians in a short period of time.

More IMH merriment, in a tent with airflow on both sides! We bring our own mics and we bring the fun, including noisemakers for people to rattle along with if you want them! Expect everything from danceable pop to introspective folk, from some extremely fantastic people.

We have so much fun at these events, former denizens of Influence Music Hall and some new friends, playing for and with each other, rattling percussion, dancing, and eating some of the best pizza in the metro area. We might even have room for walk-in performers! My set is usually between 7:00 and 7:30 PM.

The Influence Music Hall ArtWalk Anniversary Celebration continues all up and down East Main and side streets! I will have the nightcap at Crystal Heart for half an hour.
