Smoke on the highway

After 10 shows in a row in 9 days (two on Saturday), I had a break yesterday in Kansas City, MO. I took the opportunity to enjoy some park life, do laundry, and eat delicious vegan food at FÜD. Today, I will drive through the freeway fires of Kansas to Lincoln, NE for a gig tonight at Crescent Moon.

The Womb

Greetings from Oklahoma! I played in Oklahoma City a few nights ago at The Bleu Garten. It's a great venue that's just a few blocks from The Flaming Lips headquarters, The Womb. If this is what it looks on the outside, I'm sure the inside is even better.

Spring Tour update #1

Spring Tour 2017 got off to a great start on Sunday at Saddlebock Brewery in Springdale, AR. Last night was Evangeline's in St. Louis, MO. Heading back to Arkansas today for a gig at Brews in Eureka Springs. Also playing five shows this week in Oklahoma and one in Kansas. Check the SHOWS page for details.

Talk Will Tell EP is now available!

My new release, Talk Will Tell EP, is now available! It features four previously released songs - two from See Through, two from Things Moving On Their Own Together - and two new songs, “The Ballad of Cash and Dean” and “Radio Caroline” (both historical explorations of a sort, one that literally came to me in a dream). The feeling of this EP is the gripping immediacy of an intimate, live solo acoustic show. You can stream or download from Bandcamp.

The new EP was recorded during my 2016 tour. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Tom Miller at Tritone Studios in Clayton, NC on Friday, October 7th. Tom also captured the session on video, which will be available soon.

Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates! Thanks for listening!!

DoDIY.org

DoDIY.org has been an amazing resource for almost a decade. It's helped musicians like myself connect with like minded individuals to book shows around the country (and around the world). In the aftermath of the Ghost Ship tragedy in Oakland, CA, a few twisted souls used listings on the site to track down and close DIY spaces. As a result, DoDIY decided to remove all listings. Recently they started rebuilding! Please visit the site and continue to host, attend, and support DIY events. We need them now more than ever.

A message from Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg reworks this Bob Dylan classic in response to the current state of affairs in the USA.

“In the land of the free and the home of the brave / Martin Luther King is spinning in his grave to see a bigoted bully taking the stage / And he calls upon us to be faithful to the ideas he died for in another age / For the times they are a changing ... back.”
