Hello, Everyone!

I'm so excited to announce that I'm returning to beautiful MONHEGAN ISLAND, MAINE this summer, JUNE 12-18.

This is a vacation of a lifetime for about 40 people like you! This year, I'm bringing along two very special guests, VANCE GILBERT and MOLLY VENTER (of Red Molly).

We'll be playing music for you every evening!

We've had such incredible times here over the last few years - stunning scenery, great food & drink, and of course live music every night - all in an environment that invites relaxation, reflection and re-charging of one's batteries.

This trip sells out every year, so buy your tickets now: https://www.rootsontherails.com/upcoming-trips-2022-monhegan-island-me-with-ellis-paul-vance-gilbert-and-molly-venter

Early Bird Specials are still in effect!

There's more information below if you're interested.

I hope you'll join us!

MORE ABOUT MONHEGAN ISLAND:
Ten miles off the formidable rocky coastline of Maine, Monhegan Island, with a year-round population of 65 hardy souls, has long been welcoming painters, hikers, birders, sea kayakers, and others in search of an unplugged, scaled-back escape. Accessible only by boat (we take the mail ferry over!), Monhegan boasts no paved roads, limited cell signal, and a commitment to careful stewardship of its natural resources and way of life. We made our inaugural trip out there in 2018 and the island sunk its hooks into us deep!

By day, we'll explore the rocky and uninhabited islands of Musgongus Bay, visit with local lobstering crews, connect with the artists who have claimed Monhegan as their muse and hike the miles of spectacular trails along the pristine coastline. In the evenings we'll gather for intimate, entirely acoustic, concerts - a unique opportunity to hear the music of world-class artists in its most elemental form.

This event is not a songwriting instructional class (all are welcome whether you can sing/play a note or not), though all three artists certainly touch upon the art of songwriting in their informal workshops, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to gain insight into their creative process. No, this is a trip of relaxation and reprieve, a chance to journey to a very special place with extraordinary friends; a trip to give one strength during trying times.
