Concerts and tours
In all the excitement of not posting much lately, I forgot to post this:
I’ve actually lost count of how many Ball of Wax comps I’ve been on in the last 9 years, and the fact that it’s been that long is kind of blowing my mind right now. Yeesh.
Read about the added significance here, and as usual, thank you Levi.
In all the excitement/inactivity, I forgot to mention:
It starts at 9pm and I’m first (playing this one solo). Of the five bands playing I checked out Leif Hinkel and Wes Sp8… both are not bad at all. I’m looking forward to it.
I have another solo show at Cafe Racer next month, July 19, with Virgin of the Birds. Thanks Jon for inviting me!
UPDATED: the show Saturday in Kennewick has been canceled. I’ll try again soon.
I’m carrying over from the summer this thing of playing a lot of shows out of town. I like to play out but can’t do it more than once a month in Seattle, so this is how I get around that. It’s also way fun and I like that I’m not driving more than 3 hours between shows, unlike my last set of solo tours, when I’d sometimes drive 12-13 hours. That was dumb. Don’t get me wrong, I hope to do it again someday. But it’s dumb.
Next show is this Friday the 16th in Portland, Oregon at the Waypost, with Dan Lurie — here’s a facebook evite.
That’s followed the next day at the Stove Top in Kennewick, WA. There’s a facebook thing for that too.
Then Thanksgiving happens, followed by a sort of interesting gig that Sunday the 25th at the Copper Gate in Ballard, Seattle. I’ll be accompanied by a drummer and a pedal steel guitarist whom I’ve yet to meet.
Then Tuesday I’m coming back to the Hub in Centralia, with Stephen Kattenbraker. Jeffrey Henry made a great poster for it:
Finally, I’ll be at the Black Dog in Snoqualmie, Washington on December 21. More details on my shows page.
At this point I’m tempted to wax philosphic on the meaning of it all, but I won’t. Come see me play, it’s what I do best.
