about

On May 23, 2005 I performed a concert at Laconia Prison in Laconia, NH to a hundred inmates dressed in orange in a gymnasium among the squawk of walkie talkies... and what an incredible experience it was. I was humbled by the attention I was given by the prisoners and guards who witnessed this event. The prison is now closed. I am thankful I had a recording device in the car at the time or this never would have been heard. I had never intended on recording a "prison album" and as it turned out about 15 minutes before showtime I remembered I had a field recorder in the car. I placed it hoping to capture the sound of everything in that room. I got it! So here is a little piece of history of my time behind prison walls. Huge thanks to Laurel Brauns and her mother Bernadette for inviting me to perform at Laconia Prison.
