A grateful nod to the people who emailed good wishes for my Texas trip, and for all the good vibes emanating from the kind souls who cast a gentle thought my way over the past week, I give humble thanks. The dust has cleared, and I, Joel Cage, proudly type at you as a (one of six) 2001 Kerrville New Folk Winner !! This is a tremendous honor hopefully portentous of a brighter future. In addition, thanks to the kind and creative people of the Pacific Northwest, who, once again, made time distance seem insignificant and the songs all the more sweet to sing. Welcome to all blokes and folks new to this list! In the meantime, eyes to the present: JUN 6 8p The Dolphin Striker, Portsmouth, NH 603-431-5222 Kerrville Victory Party! JUN 8 9p Murphy's, Newbury, NH 603-763-3113 JUN 9 2p Harpoon Brewstock Boston, MA One of my proudest annual traditions. I've been playing these events since their inception moons ago. For the uninitiate: The Harpoon Brewery - brewers of an exceptional line of quaff - put on a three day party that's not to be missed - 3 days of food brew and live tunes from many exceptional local artists of all genres. This year's event is sponsored WAAF, Worcester's cutting edge rock radio station. Hit the link for extra info. Harpoon Brewery, Northern Ave., Boston, MA ... and later that evening ... JUN 9 8p Kennebunk Coffeehouse, Routes 1 & 35, Kennebunk, ME 207-985-3700 Opening the show for compadre TOM DEAN ! If You've Read This Far Dept. My highest respects to fellow Kerrville New Folk Winners: Rachel Bissex (VT) - powerful and deep Amy Fairchild (NJ) - the siren of the day Corrinne May (CA) - angelic Rob Lutes (Quebec) - dusky voice with magic fingers Ron Fetner (VA) - a fine conversationalist - alas I regretfully missed both his performances and am thus unqualified to offer any colorful decsriptives. .. and to all my new mates who participated in this year's New Folk offering, who's beautiful songs have ushered me off with heightened humility and inspiration. I look forward to many new & enlightening friendships.
