Gary sold out his solo concert at the Spencertown Academy Arts Center in the upper Hudson Valley Saturday night 1/11/25—his second sell out in a row there!
From Kate McLeod, who made this clip:
"Dear Gary, The term awesome has lost its punch but let's just use it to describe your performance last night. I was thinking as I watched your command of the guitars that you must have been that accomplished 44 years ago when you became a pro instead of a vampire or a rabbi. It was amazing to be sitting in that incredibly intimate space experiencing your music. It is forever imprinted in my soul. I saw Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden in the nosebleed section and decided not to see shows in those spaces anymore. Here are the videos we took and a recording. Please keep us on your mailing list. Amazing grace, Kate and Mark West"

Gary recently played a private party for fashion icon DONNA KARAN and her family at her Urban Zen outlet and gallery in thew West Village of Manhattan. This marked the second time Gary has performed at a private party for the Karan family, going back to the mid 1990's. Gary is tickled that Donna Karan enjoys his music. Gary's solo set included his arrangement of Nino Rota's theme for Fellini's "La Strada", Cole Porter's "True Love", Gary's originals "Crawl Space" and "Dance of Destiny", Arthur Russell's "Let's Go Swimming" and more.

Fron Gary—Just confirmed: the world premiere of my new live solo guitar score accompanying Tod Browning's legendary 1932 shocker "FREAKS" on Sat. March 22nd at historic art-deco palace The Byrd Theatre in Richmond Virginia. My appearance is part of the 31st James River Film Festival—the 7th time I've performed at this fine festival. I love Richmond—the southern hospitality is overwhelming (and besides the Edgar Allan Poe house and other amazing sights, they serve the tastiest barbecue). Can't wait!!
