New Tuner CD "POLE" is out ... and it is very good!

Also on new releases by Abra Moore's "On the way" and David Grissom's "Loud Music", both a little different for me. . 'brush work and Americana'.

Preparing for KTU gigs in Europe next week, KTU will continue to break in new material in preparation for recording this fall.

Last weekend I did a show with the CGT at the Quebec Summer Fest and that was a lot of fun. a few pictures here:
