Spring on a Slow Train to the Northwest This Year

We had a nice, temperate winter, but the warm weather of late spring is taking it's sweet time getting here to Whidbey Island and the Seattle area. But Sarah and I are blessed to have a brand new roof to protect the walls and foundation of this old house from the famous great NorthWET. Read more aabout it in my Myspace blog.

You can browse through there and find more information than you'll want to know about our tour through Texas and some of the gigs I've done since we got back to Whidbey.

Remember that you can order CD's from me by emailing me at rclepper@gmail.com. I still have a few titles left; Broken Sandollars (studio, not the new live one; already sold out, sorry), Texas Lullabye, and maybe one or two others.

Thanks for dropping by!

March in Texas with Jimmy George

Plans are nearly complete for a swing through Texas in March doing about a dozen shows with Jimmy George to support a new live CD of ours. Most of the shows are posted on my Myspace site which you can access on the links above and below.

More details about this tour to come soon.

Meanwhile, here on Whidbey Island, I have a number of cool gigs coming up. TOMORROW, at ipm, I am playing at Island Books and Coffee on 2nd Street in Langley at a benefit for Haiti. The concert begins at noon with Eric Vanderbilt-Matthews and Friends Jazz Ensemble. I play from 1 to 2 and the benefit winds up with a performance by Eii and Ashley of Lake from 2 to 3pm.

Stay tuned for more news coming up soon...

Back Online

Testing...testing...1,2,3. Welcome.

Alright, here I am, back with my own website. Due to an unfortunate series of events a couple of years ago, I lost my domain and my former website. Now, due the the asute capabilities of a certain red-headed lady, I have my domain back again and this single page website up.

If things work out the way we hope they do, I'll have a more complete website back up on the web in the next few months. So check back from time to time. Thanks for stopping by.
