New live show booked!
Coming quickly after my first show a few weeks ago, I'm playing Rewind Collective's Kava Night in Big Bear Lake on Saturday, August 15. Kava Night runs from 4 to 8 p.m., and I'll be up from 5 to 8 p.m., working through a mellow acoustic set of Americana and rock. It’s the kind of Music from the High Country that sits well with a slow evening and a good drink.
If you've never tried kava, or you're just looking for a different kind of night out, come by. It's a good room, a good crowd, and an easy excuse to spend an evening in the village. Rewind Collective also serves food, coffee, and other drinks if Kava isn’t your thing.
Rewind Collective
40600 Village Dr, Big Bear Lake, CA
Saturday, August 15
Kava Night: 4 to 8 p.m.
Live music: 5 to 8 p.m.
I know that Big Bear Lake is quite a trek for many of you, and I totally understand if you can’t make it up the mountain. I’m working on booking shows down in the Northeast Los Angeles area too. I’m hoping to announce some shows down there soon.

If the last dispatch, Live Show Dispatch: From Boulder Bay to Moonridge Coffee Co, never made it to your inbox, it's worth a look! The twist of events that led me from kayaking on Big Bear Lake to playing a show the next day is worth reading. It's probably sitting in a spam or promotions folder, but you can read it here: Live Show Dispatch: From Boulder Bay to Moonridge Coffee Co.
I've also been slowly building a YouTube playlist of the songs from that show as I finish editing them. It's still growing: Live at Moonridge Coffee Co, Big Bear Lake – 7/18/2026.
See you all soon,
-Pete
