Don Armstrong composed the song "Sanctuario" which Chip Chase sang at many Woods Tea Concerts.
Don Armstrong grew up in upstate New York and began hanging out at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs as a young teen. Under the watchful eye of Lena Spencer, he learned through the graces of the performers passing through: Paul Clayton, Dave Van Ronk, Rev. Gary Davis, Bob Dylan, Hedy West, John Herald, Gil Robbins, Ian & Sylvia, Utah Phillips...the list is endless.
Don's first solo album, "Mother Don't Give Up On Me Now," was released by the Ronstadt Record Company in May, 2020. Produced by Peter Dalton Ronstadt, it features Tucson musician greats Nick Coventry, Gary Mackender, Michael Gilbert Ronstadt, Alvin Blaine, Earl Edmonson, Michael Markowitz, Sam Eagon, Bekah Rolland, Sabra Falk, Liz Cerepanya & Bryan Matyjasik. Although the pandemic has slowed things to a snail's pace, Don is scoping out his next project and looks forward to hitting the road once again, much to the delight of his friends & fans nationwide.
