    Now on newsstands

    The new issue of Tight but Loose, the Led Zeppelin magazine, includes a piece I wrote about Robert Plant's recent concert in Boston on the Lampedusa tour. Plant joined Americana luminaries Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Buddy Miller and the Milk Carton Kids for a series of dates across the US to raise money to help refugees. The format a departure for the singer. The performers sat in a semi circle of chairs on stage with acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins and banjos. They each took turns singing lead, duets and adding harmonies to Americana classics. A fun and memorable evening.
