Hi Folks,

We survived the Strawberry Music Festival last weekend (two words: "cold, wet") and I'm the process of drying out guitars and ukes in preparation for the big weekend ahead. Locally, we're doing three shows in two days, and it's gonna be a fun little gig spree. This is my fourth year playing music at Roudon-Smith Winery, and for The Barn (another favorite venue), we have a couple of surprises to spring on ya. Also, up on the web site over at http://www.michaelgaither.com/ , there are a few new podcasts, as well as a contest you can enter to win a copy of the latest Houston Jones CD, "Calico Heart". Lotsa stuff to cover, so here we go:

This week's shows:

*** Thu 5/29 - KSCO 1080 AM ***
I'll be performing solo on "Good Morning Monterey Bay" at 8:30 am. Tune locally or listen on the web at www.ksco.com

*** Sat 5/31 - Roudon-Smith Winery (2364 Bean Creek Road Scotts Valley, CA) ***
Day one of the annual Vintner's Festival features Rob Hastings (12:30 pm), Sherry Austin and Sharon Allen (1:00 pm), and our band rounding out the day (2:00 pm)

*** Sat 5/31 - The Barn Houseconcert Series ***
We're back at The Barn and are splitting the evening with my pal David Anderson. Two local songwriters, a few new tunes, our first time out with our nifty new harmony singer Breanna Eddy, plus a brief experiment with multimedia (you'll have to show up to find out). The Barn is in Gilroy, and you can make reservation requests by going to www.barnconcerts.com .

*** Sun 6/1 - Roudon-Smith Winery ***
Day two of the Vinter's Festival features Rob Hastings (12:30 pm), Bev Barnett and Greg Newlon (1:00 pm), our band (2:00 pm), and Chuck McCabe and Jay Howlett at (3:30 pm)

(Complete info and directions is on my shows page at michaelgaither.com/shows.)

New episodes of my "Songs and Stories" podcast:

Songs and Stories #30: KVMR Highlights
This is a recap of my appearance on Wesley Robertson's KVMR show "Rockin' and Stompin'" a few months back. I played a bunch of tunes and then Wesley and I discussed this little podcast. If you're new to my music or have just discovered the web site and the podcast, this is a good overview of it all:

Songs and Stories #31 and 32: Chris Kee and Travis Jones of "Houston Jones"
Here's another kitchen-table talk, this time with bay area Americana favorites Houston Jones. In #31, Chris and Travis discuss the origins of the band and how Chris evolved into the band's primary songwriter. In #32, Chris and Travis play the title cut from "Calico Heart" and "If Not for the Darkness", a new song from an upcoming gospel record:

And that CD contest

Want to *win* a copy of Houston Jones' new CD "Calico Heart". Listen to podcasts #31 or #32 for details. I'll draw a winner at the end of this month.

As always, many thanks for the support. Hope to see some of you soon.
