As a thank you to everyone that came out and watched my solo acoustic shows, I created this short “concert” in the forest. I played seven songs live with the birds chirping and the mosquitoes bitting in the woods of northern Michigan. Thank you to Awrey Films for recording and putting the video together. Watch it now on my YouTube page: https://youtu.be/0pwGKZ0-9aU

Seemingly Quixotic Live
I have uploaded a live video exclusive to my website. It comes from my recent show at Heights Brewing in Farmington, MI.

Solo Warr Guitar Mini Tour
I have some upcoming dates on the calendar for shows in Ohio and Michigan. I will be performing solo pulling mainly from three albums: Imaginary Cages, Subsequent Ruins, and an upcoming album. Quenched and Tempered is a great brewery in Toledo that I have visited and love their beer. I will be playing a two hour set. Ziggy’s in Ypsilanti will be more of a rocking 45 minute set with a local bass guitarist opening the show. Dessert Oasis will be another two hour set in the cool and chilled environment of Dessert Oasis. More information on each show may be found in the events section of the site.
