Since moving to Colorado in 2007 I have set out on one human-powered kids’ music tour each summer.

Walking Tour Summer 2008
The Jeff Kagan “Putting My Feet Where My Mouth Is” Walking Summer 2008 Music Tour For Rocky Mountain Kids. I spent the summer of ’08 walking the length of the 483-mile Colorado Trail with a small backpacker’s guitar, camping equipment and a couple of wigs and puppets. Along the way I played 10 concerts in the mountain towns along the trail. |

In the summer of ‘09 I spent several weeks floating through the mountains atop an inflatable canoe. The journey from Carbondale, CO to Westwater, UT was my first float, a true adventure. I played concerts in 6 towns along the way. |
