He moved to Windham Hill’s High Street imprint label in 1989 and released five albums during the next seven years. In 1998, he returned to Red House and recently released his 11th studio album, and a trio format with singer-songwriters Lucy Kaplanski and Eliza Gilkyson called “Red Horse.” Ever since he started he’s been coming to our state fairly regularly.
