No turning back...


A couple of weeks ago I was up in Minneapolis to lay down some guitar tracks for the new album.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in studio and I was very happy with what we accomplished.  So far things are sounding great if I do say so myself…and so does my producer.  That’s the thing – this time around I’m using a producer.

First day in studio was so successful that we didn’t need a second so I kept myself busy with the usual 'find-a-gig-be-a-rockstar' business.  The rest of the week was punctuated by gathering with friends to play a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity, enjoying the company of my hosts, John and Karrin and going on a dog walk with my friend Sue D. and my dog Willow then topping it all off with one helluva great show at Merlin’s Rest.  I can’t thank everyone enough for showing up on such a cold, friggin’ night to share in a little drink and song – ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!

I arrived to Minneapolis in a literal fog and left on a bright, crisp winter day.  How apropos.

in the meantime...

Last night I had an incredible night playing music at The Precinct in Sterling, IL.  The crowd was very interactive and invested which always makes for a good night. The after-party jam was a bit of alright, as well.

Now, I'm sitting in a small but wonderful little coffee/bookshop in Dixon, IL trying to get some work done while listening to, "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me" and I'm having a little trouble getting things done.

You know, I used to be really good at this multi-tasking thing.  But I find trying to listen to the program while searching for gigs in Wyoming while working out the logistics of a tour to the West coast while making notes for my producer about the new album while thinking about re-visions to a half-finished song while creating a blog pos...

oh. I get it, now.
