Happy 2024 Summer Y'all,
Thank you for making a stop at Lil Rev Central.
2024 is on course to be one of the finest !
Why? you ask!
I started out in Florida in late January and early Feb for my annual winter tour, I taught many uke & dulcimer classes and gave a slew of fine performances throughout the state including an appearance at the 46th annual Everglales Bluegrass Festival in North Miami.
In March, i participated in a variety of St. Pat's shows around WI including a super fun one @ Paradigm Cafe with the local uke club that i help lead, aka The Sheboygan Ukulele Club before heading out to the Great Plains for a couple of gigs starting in Kansas City for a house concert @ at the home of Bob n Diana Suckel (cross currents) including an amazing night at The Focal Point in St. Louis, MO and a stop in Maplewood to teach at Schlafly's Brewery. Both of these shows i was honored to have the great Thom Pallozola of the Flea Bitten Dawgs join me on uke, guitar and back up vocals. Suffice it to say, we had mountains of fun working together and i look forward to the next foray out west.
It was a very exciting spring with appearances at The Blueridge Uke Fest, Ashoken Uke Camp (end of May) and Kentucky Music Week (end of June).
Tons of other festival appearances later in the summer including stops in Franklin, TN, Two Harbors, MN, Rice lake, WI, and Shawano Folk Festival in Shawano, WI.
To top things off, my long-awaited Lil Rev Teaches Clawhammer Uke Book (w/Video) (Hal Leonard) is now on the street (the download is available via Hal Leonard's website: www.halleonard.com). at finer music stores near you or via Amazon and Hal Leonard's website!
At a time when this crazy world seems hell bent on chaos, music is the one thing that brings us together and let's us experience the very best of our humanity! I look forward to seeing you out on the road or close to home!
Musically,
Lil Rev
