My good friend and music collaborator, Nyle Steiner (he's the genius that invented the Electronic Wind Instrument, played by jazz musicians worldwide) and I did a benefit for Wasatch Humane on Saturday. (You can see Nyle's invention in this photo). This was a really worthy cause and we were glad to help this organization that does a lot of horse rescue and rehab here in Utah.
When we got to the gig it was a decidedly 'horsey' event so we pulled out some of our more 'americana' tunes, and with the help of keyboardist Cary Hobbs, we did some fun music, very fitting for the occasion - stuff like 'Don't Fence Me In' Ha!
Before we played Nyle jumped in and played a few tunes with the cowboy band 'the Hometown Pickers'! A good time was had by all as Nyle can create the sound of harmonica, pennywhistle etc., all sounds that fit just great with the cowboy music.
Here are a couple of pics with Nyle in his farmer's hat and me with one of the adoption horses.
