Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Wow what a schedule! Best of luck to her on this tour. Sure would be nice to catch her in person here in Alaska. Tell her to get a summer performace date up here. Alaskans will take real good care of her. |

Man...that's allot of traveling. So happy to hear of the tour. Nashville is the closest to me. I hope she can come back to Asheville NC again sometime. The Orange Peel would love to have her do a gig. Be safe and have fun!

Location: Houston, TX | I was in Barnes & Noble last night and saw Kaki on the front and back cover of Fret magazine. Looks like she's playing another guitar in addition to the O to change up the sound a bit. Can't remember the maker. |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | The Orange Peel looks and sounds like a great venue. I hear their ads all the time on WNCW in Spindale,N.C. ( www.wncw.org ) but I've never made it up the mountain to check out a show. They have some pretty big names as well as the popular local talent pass their way much like The Handlebar in Greenville,S.C.
I've gotta get out more!!!! :D |

Location: atlanta | Alaskan Fly Guy, you will not believe this coincidence--she was in Alaska in July:
7/13/2004 Vagabond Blues Coffeehouse, Palmer AK
7/14/2004 Wilda Marston Theater, Anchorage AK
7/15/2004 The Moose Pasture, Kasilof AK
You signed up for OFC on 7/16!
She raved about Alaska and the "different kind of people up there". Said she saw a woman in her late 70's on the main street of Palmer wearing denim coveralls and carrying a "big shotgun". She hopes to get more bookings in AK next summer.
Stephent28, don't worry too much, I feel sure she'll be in the Denver/Boulder area in May or June.
Elite04, she was at the Orange Peel in October 2003 with Vic Wooten and his "family band". I was there and it is a super venue. Vic is the greatest electric bassist I've ever seen.
Willard, I believe this is her first appearance at Luther's Blues in Madison. I hope you enjoy her new show.
Cwk2, thanks for your unfailing support.
Trboy, imho Orange Peel and the right show would be worth the drive (scenic route would be through Brevard and north on Blue Ridge Parkway, right?).
HNY, Everybody!!

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | Fantastic show! The first song couldn't be heard so I had to holler at the sound guys to turn it up. I think I startled Kaki a bit she said she didn't have much control over that but it worked. The rest of the set was great. I gave her a few OFC picks after her set. The Adamas sounded much better than the other guitar she had, not sure what it was. I think Dave should change his handle from Popcritic to Proudpapa. |

Location: atlanta | Bill, I'm glad you enjoyed her show and thanks for getting the soundboard's attention. She gets her sound off the stage monitors and frequently can't really hear the house PA. She sounds a hell of a lot better turned up, doesn't she?
She told me she enjoyed meeting you and appreciated the OFC picks. The other guitar is a Lowden OM10C given to her by Mr. David Lindley. It's a sweet wooden guitar, but no match for that blue Adamas, imo.
OT, the Langerado Festival in March (Sunrise, FL) has a very cool artist scroll banner on its splash page. She's on there:

Best to all--

Location: Asheville, North Carolina | Popcritic...Yes I know she was there, but in October I was in Hawaii during that two weeks....darn! I hope she will come back! Thank you for your reply and taking the time, we look forward to you hanging out and keeping us informed!
Trboy...just cruz up I 26....the Handlebar is a great place as well I've been there a number of times...saw Jorma and Hot Tuna there...great show! Also saw String Cheese Incident.
Anyone remember "Be Here Now" in Asheville...? I saw Micheal Hedges there twice just before his death, The original Acoustic Alchemy, Los Lobos Acoustic, David Lindley and Hani,twice and a bunch of other greats. It's gone now due to fire codes. |

Location: Detroit, MI | Dang. I just read Kaki's 'cover' interview in Acoustic Guitar magazine last night, and I could have been at show at the Ark in Ann Arbor. I'm new to the OFC and only purchased my first O in the past month. I must confess that I knew nothing about Kaki until I got the magazine recently (ironically, it was a free issue from having recently purchased a Martin). I was impressed by the maturity of her responses in the interview... (well, she does look young) and fact that she mentioned her influences, including her "dad". I'll look forward to hearing her music, but I guess it will have to be on CD. |

Location: atlanta | Islander, here is a photo from WDET's website of her studio appearance yesterday:

This is a guitar I haven't seen before. The design is clearly based on the blue Adamas prototype she played on the Letterman show. Bill, did she have this guitar in Madison?

Location: atlanta | Johnny, I believe all her current models are equipped with OP-PRO.
Just ran across this "upcoming concert" review which mentions Adamas:
http://www.losbanosenterprise.com/local/story/9616534p-10501842c.html
Had to MapQuest it, and found Los Banos about 75 miles east of Santa Cruz in the Central Valley.
