Nawsome November tour, collaborations with Craig Childs and Cornell Kinderknecht!

Happy autumn friends. By far this is my favorite time in New Mexico with our short fall and extended Indian Summer. Chiles have been roasted and put away in the freezer to remind us of our bountiful harvest in the cold of our high desert winters. I'm getting ready for my Nawsome November tour of the south. It begins with my traditional appearance at our Renaissance Arts Faire where I've performed for over ten years each fall. This year I am also the MC for the entire event. Attendance for this usually is between 25,000 and 40,000 thousand souls and is a highlight and main fund raiser for the Dona Ana Arts Council. Check schedule below for times.

Then I'm on my way back to headline again at  Native Rhythms in beautiful Melbourne, FL so see my great listeners, friends and eat myself silly with seafood and oranges from the Indian River. Before that I'll do a house concert near Hattiesburg, MS. I'm doing a special performance and fundraiser in Summertown, TN on Nov. 16th. When they heard I, a Native American Musician was coming they whipped up a special benefit, dinner, film and concert to help out the Native American tribe south of New Orleans who are losing their land through their organization called Plenty. These folks live in a cooperative community called The Farm and raise money for all sorts of people in need as well as protest fracking, bring light to injustice and are an example of cooperation with their farm, store, community center. I'm so honored and thrilled to be a part of their event! If you know anything about me you know this is right up my alley of helping others.

Nov 22 I have the great privilege of performing again with one of my favorite musicians the award-winning, multi-instrumentalist  Cornell Kinderknecht at the Dallas Meditation Center. What an absolute treat. Check details below. Nov 23 I'll return to be part of Cornell's Annual Flute/Music Party with Butch and Laura Hall, in Weatherford, TX where I have so much fun it is probably illegal in most southern states haha.

Craig Childs

December 2 I am so thrilled to be doing a performance with one the most important nature and archaeological writers alive today, NPR contributor Craig Childs at the West End Arts Depot in Las Cruces, NM, 7PM. We have wanted to work together for years and he found himself coming through before heading out into the frozen tundra so we a collaborating on a very special evening of reading, music, spirit and mystery.

As always PLEASE share my calendar with friends and contacts you have in the areas I'm playing. It helps tremendously when someone receives a personal invitation and recommendation. I hope to see and meet as many of you as possible on this tour and others! Be well and walk in beauty all the days of your life.

Peace,
Randy
