We have begun a journey in earnest toward a tour of trully thrilling Live Art Extravaganza's. We won't say right now exactly what is planned, but we are so excited, as these productions will include many beautiful artistic elements.

Stay tuned during the next several exciting seasons, as Kristof and the troops will have lot's of exciting news. Many opportunities are on the horizon for you to enjoy live music that celebrates life in a thrilling way!

If you would like to host an event in this limited salon concert series, please contact us before September, to assure an available date.

At The Epicurean, a table of high-school friends, and one very passionate equestrian fan, brought home the reason for this tour - the simple and pure beauty in communion over artistic sharing. A cancellation at Steel City morphed into a weeknight social with a friend I hadn't seen in 30 years, and a shortened show at The French Quarter led to another excuse to hang with old friends.

Back in the studio, I performed one-off personal recordings for a few new patrons and friends. I feel like I should do more of that. I think folks might like having one-of-a-kind recordings.

This feels like more of a friendship tour now, and that feels enriching - happy :)

The next two weeks will contain some break-through new pieces, including some dedications, and of course more pure and easy sharing between folks.

We are working on a few things to help those who wish to come and share Kristof's music during the remainder of the Just for the Sharing summer tour 2011. 

Check in this weekend for new dates over the next few weeks. Also, notifications on on the way to those on our e-mailing list, and for those in our Facebook network. Stay tuned for instructions and/online links for staying tuned in. Thank you all for your patience.

I might do a drop-in performance tonight at an un-scheduled local venue. Check in later to find out where and when.

Another quick note for those following the tour; I am keeping a little journal about each open-mike performance, just offering little tid-bits to continue the communion. Just go to the Calendar/Dates page, scroll down to "past performances" and you'll see comments about last-night's show.

Playing in the format of the free open microphone gives me opportunity to find the meaning that my community seeks, so I can better reflect it back to them, unencumbered. It really IS all about the sharing here, and that is what I revell in today.

Thank you all for sharing this summer's artistic journey with me :)

When I first brought up the idea of a tour consisting primarily of free public performances on week-nights, in unassuming venues, responses were mixed; but, my idea was to commune with folks taking time to relax during their every-day lives, with no pretense. In the mix like this, I feel privileged crossing paths with folks, and sharing tiny pieces of ourselves.

The music went well, old and new. Audiences were open and receptive. I met many talented local musicians, discovered fresh local musical sounds, and communed with many nice people, in the midst of our respective every-day lives. It was truly beautiful, and re-affirmed for me the wonder of living.

I had hoped to re-affirm my love for performing as a soloist; and already, I have done so much more. I have re-affirmed my personal love for life as an artist, and the beauty of sharing and celebrating life every day with others. It has had a profound effect on the way I play the music, and the stories my music tells.

Thank you to all who have shared, at the events, and those who are there following along online, offering your support freely and openly. I love you all :)
