Huge thanks and immense gratitude to the community of Bainbridge Island who've voted me the Best DJ of Bainbridge Island! It's an honor to spin selections from my growing collection and provide the soundtrack to your day and night.

Thank you to Jamie Serenstara for the nomination and this fantastic community for the votes.

Goals for the next near include more dates at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Bainbridge Arts and Crafts - A Nonprofit Organization, Bainbridge Brewing, and I'd love to spin again at Eleven Winery. Would love to create a monthly night at the Treehouse Cafe (now with a full bar!) and bring my sounds to the south end. Would love to drop in again at Revolver Bar and Screwdriver Bar in Seattle and drop a big mix of gems at the new Busy Body bar in Tacoma. Let's party!

Catch me on the second or third Saturday at the Bar at Cafe Hitchcock - Bainbridge Island (Vibe Out!) and select special events around the Sound.

Here's a stack o' tracks I put together for Jonathan Evison — a curated playlist for his book release after-party on 6/9/21 ("Legends of the North Cascades" — go grab a copy at your local book store). Most of these songs I've had the good fortune to hear in his garage on his stereo, loud. Others I have added from my vinyl collection to add to the vibe.

Have your own party with these tasty tunes! Best on 'shuffle'.
