Under the (Music) Radar

I performed more in May than I have all year, so I’m taking a break until fall. The #DreamTeam will still host #GardenCityJazz and Pop-Up Augusta events, and we’ll still do the #bookmusicgigs thing.

But KG & THE SUNSHINE BAND (aka KG & Friends) is gonna chill for a sec, so that KG can explore some new & different-err… options.

What ARE those options exactly? Glad you asked. They are including, but not limited to the following…

• Spending time with family

• Homeschooling @SayWhatScooter

• Launching an exploratory committee (for my campaign for political office)

• Taking a sabbatical from church

• Traveling the world and the seven seas

• Writing a book (WITH LeScoot & Jamil)

• Taking the fam out in an RV and living off tips from coffeehouse gigs

• Building a campsite and artists’ retreat in South Augusta

• Hosting a #CoolKidz day camp

• Celebrating my 50th birthday and embracing my mid-life crisis

• Enrolling in culinary school

• Preparing to celebrate with my adult children – two weddings & two birthdays in October, (asking myself repeatedly who thought that was a good idea)

• Enrolling in the MPA program at Augusta University

• Moving to Athens…or Asheville

Who knows? But….whasonEVA we do…We are ready for adventure.
