Some great things coming up just before I head out on tour!
The reissue of my remixed/remastered 2009 record, Here’s to Outliving Me, comes out next Tuesday, July 13th! It’ll be available everywhere in CD and digital format, there are some bonus tracks free with both options! Get a copy, get a copy!
To celebrate, I’m doing a last minute good time hometown show. The good people at The Mercury Lounge had an opening on the 13th and asked if I wanted to play it. I’m going to be doing a smaller version of my usual band and good friends. You should come, it’s going to be an absolute blast and I’ll be playing at least two brand new songs! I’m playing right about 8 pm!

In addition to all of that, the good folks at WHUS in Storrs, CT have asked me to come up and take over the station from noon to 3 pm EST this Saturday, July 10th! You can listen in live right HERE!
I’m going to be playing live, playing songs I like, talking about what I’m into and all sorts of other cool stuff, so tune in, it’s going to be a really fun show!

I’m just back from the New England shows which were a lot of fun. Ben Lord came with me and played drums and we had a blast. Thanks to all that came out.
I’m excited to announce that on July 13th, The Village Label will be reissuing a remixed/remastered version of my first solo record, “Here’s to Outliving Me”! It’ll be available everywhere on the 13th.
To celebrate, I’m going to play a bunch of shows in July! I’m hitting the  road July 14th and playing shows until the 31st, playing a lot of the towns I hit in June (Pittsburgh, Columbus, Chicago, Champaign, etc). I’ll see you on the road!

Tour Name Officially Changed to “So Snow, Snow” Tour

Posted in News, Show News, Tours on February 13th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

I decided to change the name of this tour from “So Low, Solo” to “So Snow, Snow”. There has yet to be a day without snow coming down and today was no different. I woke up to big light snowflakes today. Not much, but still, it’s snowing.
The photo with this post was taken right after getting off the highway Wednesday, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It’s a photo of the highway from my hotel window. That dark line in the middle is the highway median divider wall. That was some crazy driving.
