Art Motel was looking forward to playing the Boatyard Buckeye Lake but rain made for a change of plans. Duo with Hunter made for a chill afternoon entertaining neighbors and friends.
Buckeye Lake-Zanesville Gigs
Another strong week in the works for this guy! David Spires Duo gig at the Buckeye Lake Winery this Friday, 6-9pm with Mike Nicklaus.
Saturday 2-6pm at the Boatyard at Buckeye Lake with David Cooper. David’s gonna bring electric, acoustic, and some harmonica! Maybe I’ll toss in a lap steel to add to the variety.
Sunday, I am back at The Barn-Zanesville with Art Motel! Art Motel @ The Barn-Zanesville, 5-8pm. You can hear me on Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, and Dobro with these guys.
Big thanks to all my friends who came out to my gigs this past weekend. Your support means a lot to me, and to the establishments that make live music part of their experience.

Ricky Skaggs – Ohio Valley Opry
When you are a 14 year old kid learning to play Pedal Steel from your Dad in the mid 80s, you dream of playing Highway 40 Blues with Ricky Skaggs. Some dreams come true.
Back at THE BARN w/ All My Rowdy Friends
One of my favorite places to hang in Zanesville, O-H-I-O. Jim Watson makes it an enjoyable environment for all ages. Great food and friends. Love supplying the country tunes on the nights I am asked to play.

Playing Pedal Steel with Silverado Tonight
Back with Bim Strawser and Silverado tonight at The Hunter Street Saloon. Spent the afternoon learning more about the New Fender Tone Master Pro. Reinventing the wheel is fun! Having an afternoon for personal growth is a luxury that doesn’t happen often enough. We’ll hear what it’s like with my pedal steel tonight. I have a feeling I am going to enjoy the hell out of making some music!
