Strummed Heat, Midnight Feet captures the slow, seductive build of a tropical night at an outdoor bar, where the air hangs heavy and warm, like a second skin. The music begins with a relaxed, breathy pulse—lazy and sun-drenched—matching the easy fizz of early evening conversation. As midnight approaches, something shifts. The rhythm tightens, the heat seems to thicken, and bodies that were still, begin to sway. That’s the moment the evening’s spark ignites.
Strummed Heat, Midnight Feet is dedicated to my long time friend Chuck Hulihan. It received its first performance on December 12th 2025 at Glendale Community College Performing Arts Center, Glendale, Arizona, USA.
