Hello!
We’re hoping Mother Nature has gotten the last of the snow out of her system, and that we might actually start moving toward spring. We’re certainly ready for it! There has been a large flock of fat robins poking at the bare spots between the snowbanks in our back yard over the last several days, so that’s certainly a good sign. The large flock of turkeys, well, they’re just amusing.
Come out to Serendipity Cafe in Maynard, MA on Wednesday, April 12th for the Serendipity Songwriter Sessions. We’re joined this month by Paul Rogoshewski (PJ Rogue) and Rob Lytle. Our topic this month, chosen by our March audience, is “Summer Dreams”. Stop by, have dinner, enjoy some tasty baked goods, listen to wonderful original music by terrific songwriters, and help choose the topic for May’s musicians. The music runs 7:30-9:30pm. Many thanks to Laura & Johnny at Serendipity Cafe for all their support!
We’re back at the Bolton Public Library in Bolton, MA on Tuesday, April 18th for the Bolton Public Library Unplugged open mike. We start with a 2-song formal first round, then we pull the chairs into a circle and jam until we’re out of songs, out of steam, or tossed out by the cleaning crew! Want to share a new song about April showers? a poem about April in Paris? Or just looking for a place to show off your new Easter bonnet while you listen to good tunes? Stop by! Music starts at 7pm. Piano players — please contact us directly if you wish to play, and we’ll be sure to bring a keyboard.
Over the weekend of Saturday & Sunday, April 22nd-23rd, GoGirls Music and the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance will be presenting the Ladies In The House Online Music Festival via Concert Window. A series of acts promoting women in music will be performing around the US across the two days, all via internet. The schedule is still being finalized, but we’ll be taking part in the fun! We’ll send out an update and a pointer to the schedule as soon as we know the details.
Our CDs Seeking and Simple Grace are available from us at our shows, on our website, or you can find them at CD Baby, iTunes and most other online music stores. Seeking has been specially mastered for iTunes, which gives higher fidelity over standard iTunes recordings.
As always, you can find additional schedule information on our website, https://www.danandfaith.com. For more frequent news updates and information, check out our Facebook fan page and follow us on Twitter (@danandfaith).
There’s local music everywhere, if you know where to look. And if you’re convinced there isn’t any, why not start something? If you build it, they will come.

Hello!
Last Saturday, we spent the day cleaning out the shed in the back yard, wearing short sleeves and a sweater. And this Saturday, we’re supposed to have wind chill readings in the single digits, if not colder. Ah, spring in New England!
We count ourselves lucky in the central MA area to have WICN radio and DJ Nick Noble who are so supportive of local music and local musicians. We’ll be joining Nick on his radio show, The Folk Revival, this Thursday, March 2nd. Nick’s show runs 7-11pm, and we’ll be on somewhere between 8 and 9. His theme this week is, “Something Old & Something New”. We’ll chat and play a few songs for him — and for you! If you’re in the Worcester, MA area, tune your radio to 90.5FM. Outside the area, you can stream it live by going to http://www.wicn.org and clicking “Listen Live Online”. Tune in!
We’re definitely looking forward to this month’s Serendipity Songwriter Showcase on Wednesday, March 8th at Serendipity Cafe in Maynard, MA, as we’re joined by a couple of our favorite local songwriters, Sam Bayer and Rob Siegel. Our topic this month, chosen by our February audience, is “Alternate Facts”. Stop by, have dinner, enjoy some tasty baked goods, listen to wonderful original music by terrific songwriters, and help choose the topic for April’s musicians. The music runs 7:30-9:30pm. Many thanks to Laura & Johnny at Serendipity Cafe for all their support!
Sunday, March 19th brings us back to the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick, MA for their Sunday Circle.

Please join us!
Come out to the Bolton Public Library Unplugged open mike at the Bolton Public Library in Bolton, MA on Tuesday, March 21st.

Want to play a Saint Paddy’s Day tune? Share spring poetry? Or just kick back and listen to our talented neighbors? Stop by! Music starts at 7pm. Piano players — please reply to this message if you wish to play, and we’ll be sure to bring a keyboard.
We’ve been traveling down to Cape May, NJ every spring for the last few years to attend the Singer Songwriter Cape May conference. This year, we are playing a showcase in Carney’s Other Room at Carney’s on the beach in Cape May on Saturday, March 25th at 8:30pm. This is our first time playing at Carney’s, and we’re looking forward to it. Check out New Jersey Stage for this great article on the conference and our gig at Carney’s. If you’re in southern NJ, stop by!

As the warmth returns in spring, and you get out of the house again, don’t forget to check out all the great local music in your area! And we’ll send you off the way we like to end our shows on the road, with a bit of gospel. Check out Dan’s song, On My Way.
