He has shared songs and stories with likes of Brian Bowers, Utah Phillips, Rosalie Sorrels, John Sparrow, Willi Carlisle, Andy Cohen, Don Armstrong, Sean Blackburn, Charlie Maguire, Bayou Seco, Tom Page, Mike Coy, Bob and Diana Suckiel, Art Thieme, Chance Shiver, Larry Vellani, The Riders in The Sky, Glenn Ohrlin, and Lisa Null.
