Greetings Wide Awake Citizens!
 
Thanks for coming to my website and listening to my music. We’ve had three good shows at the Harbor Table in Washburn since January and we are getting ready to perform there again on Sunday April 28 performing Song For The Wild, my musical tribute to Sigurd Olson. It’s a matinee beginning at 3 pm. Song For The Wild debuted in 2016 and we really enjoy honoring Sigurd Olson, who was one of America’s great 20th century conservationists. Hope to see you there.

I’m working on putting a book together of my song lyrics dating back to the 1960s. It will include all the songs from the many musicals I’ve written songs for and including my new songs. It brings back memories of all the great musicians I’ve been fortunate to play with over the 57 years I have been a professional performer. Christine Engfer is again helping me put the book together. I’m hoping it will be in print by fall.

Here is a list of our other future shows:

* Saturday May 18 Harbor Table 7:30, Outdoor Wisconsin, a show celebrating the lakes, rivers and wildlife of our state.
* Wednesday June 19 Marine Museum in Bayfield 5:00, this is an annual appearance for us singing my Lake Superior songs.
* Wednesday June 26 Presque Isle, Wisconsin Library 5:00, another annual performance for us in a great setting.

I have come across a wonderful quote that I would like to share with you. It says it all.
“Somebody didn't wake up today but you did.
That’s enough reason to stop complaining
And that’s enough to be thankful for.
Never let your troubles blind you to your daily blessings.”
Trent Shelton

Until we meet again,

Warren
