At the beginning, again
I’m beyond satisfied to be on this side of summer with a baby cooing like a mourning dove, a guitar that no longer rides side saddle, and a new record waiting in the wings. But first a show! Aug 24th
It’s all ripening so fast. A mango on the counter was hard as a rock a moment ago when I set it down, now it’s mush. The single vine of cherry tomatoes I can see from my kitchen window just blinked from green to I should really grab a few of those beauties before the birds do.
It’s been a lifetime since last I wrote you. My tour out west with Will Seeders and Joachim Cooder was a brilliant time. The audiences were absolutely thrilling to play for and the rooms felt so dang good! I enjoyed every second of the music and camaraderie. I also enjoyed unintentional naps on green room couches. I was in a family way and knew it was my last tour for a bit. I knew I’d soon want to be sticking close to the home front, and my drumbeat became fitting in a recording session and tending to my songs before life changed again. I had a rough time for a bit health-wise and coughed my way across the finish line with a kick-in-the-ribs bout of pneumonia a few weeks before my boy’s due date. So I’m beyond satisfied now to be sitting pretty on this side of summer with a baby cooing like a mourning dove, a guitar that no longer rides side saddle, and a new record waiting in the wings. But first, a show!
August 24th Waitsfield, VT Knoll Farm
I don’t plan to tour all that much this year as I enjoy these fleeting moments with the youngins and get my new record in shape for release. If you’re near Waitsfield, come on out! This one will be a beauty. Will Seeders joins me on pedal steel, bass and banjo. BYOB, chair and picnic basket, or order one from Knoll Farm. TICKETS
I have just few more shows this fall with Will. Join us!
Nov 22 - Spire Center for Performing Arts - Plymouth, MA
My record Quiet Flame just turned a year old and I didn’t even bake a cake. Give it a listen here, or check out this playlist of all the live videos we made.
Cheers to these dog days of summer. I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am.
