The winds of March with beauty."

You are my child. You came like the morning lights.” (Winds of March, Journey)
Dear Friends,

We’re calling it the 3-in-1 tour, three songwriters who will back each other up with guitar, piano, fiddle, and autoharp. Please join us in person or streaming online. Pop some corn, put on your pj’s, sit back, and enjoy some great music!

Please put Saturday, April 18th, on your calendar for a special event, a house concert featuring Chappell & Dave Holt and Carlos Reyes, award-winning Paraguayan harpist/violinist, at Avonova, 417 Avon St., Oakland.
The music of Chappell & Dave Holt is featured on KC Cafe Radio … You can listen to the free sample right away and thanks to KC Cafe radio staff, it is very cool, if I do say so myself! We’ll be doing an interview on the station soon. You may request up to 2 songs per hour, no more than 10 songs per day. If your request has already played within the last two hours, it will not be honored, and will appear in the search results with a icon. Click the “request” button associated with the selection you would like to hear. Your selection should then play sometime over the course of the next hour. Timeliness may be affected by the number of requests waiting to be played, special programming scheduled to air, or other factors relating to the regular rotation of music playing at the time.
If you’d like to order our new CD, Stone & Fire, directly please send a $17 check (includes $2 shipping) payable to Dave Holt to 1335 Kenwal Rd., #A, Concord, CA 94521. You can also purchase downloads of Stone & Fire at CD Baby. Also our first CD,Wings of the Morning, which includes some of our true jazz tunes along with “the jazzier side of Americana” songs is now fully loaded on their site. Please be sure and preview those old songs, still fresh and lively as they were yesterday.
Many thanks to the internet radio outlets who’ve been playing our Stone and Fire cuts, Dan Herman of Radio Crystal Blue, Uncle Shag at Longtown Sound, and Mom Hen, Jeanette Lundgren, at Mom Hens Corner.
