It's going to be just under 3 weeks of traveling and playing and I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the road. I've stayed pretty close to home over the past couple of months so it'll cool to see road signs and truck stops and meeting new people and hearing and seeing new artists out there across the Western States.

The Big Spring Tour - Denver Days

Sitting here in Denver on 17th Street at a place called the Denver Bicycle Cafe. It sells coffee, a little bit of food, and beer. Today - Easter Sunday 4/20 I'm enjoying some coffee and relaxing. I drove into town yesterday and my cousin Chris and I payed a show at the local coffeehouse house - now called Buna - formerly called KJ's - a place we've played in the past.
The drive was easy from Grand Junction and the show on Friday night in Fruita, CO was a good one. It was at a place called Cavalcade - a community theater space - and the people that work there are awesome. There wasn't that big of a turnout due to a bike race that was going on all day and had the streets blocked off - but the people that showed up listened which was sort of the opposite of the last shows on the road earlier this month - at that time in Albuquerque there were a lot of people but not a lot of listeners. So I was glad to have a listening room kind of thing.
The drive over the mountains was easy - not like last year when Mikaela and I did the same drive right during a snow storm - it was a little crazy and was so glad that time when we finally made it to Denver. The day before i drove from Flagstaff, AZ and cruised through the wide open land of Northern Arizona to Southern Utah and into Western Colorado. It's one of my favorite drives and I stopped at Monument Valley because it's hard to just drive by and not gaze for a bit at its beauty.
Tonight we're playing at the Lion's Lair which is on Colfax and a place I've been wanting to play for a while. We have a drummer sitting in with us and looking forward to hearing how it will all sound.
Tomorrow I head on east and to Wichita to play at Kirby's Beer Store - then Nashville on Tuesday night at The Family Wash in East Nashville - really looking forward to hanging out in that town again.
yours truly,
Jeremiah

Southwest Winter Tour - Day #2

Yesterday I left LA and headed east - down the very familiar I-40. The desert wasn't too hot and I drove along with my windows down. I listened to some music and just rolled along.
I pulled into Flagstaff just after 7pm and got cleaned up at my friend Kate's house. Last night there was a jam session at her boyfriend's place and after a much needed shower (the hot water is out at my place in Silverlake so I took off without a shower) I cruised over and joined in. There were about 7 of us and a few listeners and we played and played. It was a good time - and we went around the room and played songs. Later that night I went out for food and to look around downtown. The air was chilly - 34 degrees and I was glad that I had brought my pea coat.
Today I'm writing from Macy's Coffeehouse on Beaver Street which is a place I always stop and get my morning coffee - today i picked up a t-shirt too. So now I have to get in the car and drive to Taos, New Mexico. I'm playing at the Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn. It's a pretty amazing spot and I've been looking forward to it since I booked this show in November. I'm hoping to get another gig there in April - we'll see. Well - it's about time to start driving.
yours truly,
Jeremiah

Photos coming soon

The New Year - and the end of the last one...

Happy New Year to you! Once again I apologize for not writing here sooner - and finishing up about the October tour. I have lost my writing discipline and hope to find it once again this year. I have some trips coming up - tours around the Southwest, and possible to Austin in March for SXSW, and another I-40 cross country trek in April - and hopefully Europe in May/June but that will depend on a few things coming together.
The rest of the October trip went well. I made it to Albuquerque, New Mexico and played a couple shows and really enjoyed staying in that town - after really only passing through for so long. The weather was great - the skies mostly clear and deep blue - and after a trip up to Taos to play a gig, I almost felt like staying. I'm looking forward to heading back to New Mexico and Colorado in February - I'm hoping the weather and roads are all right.
After a gig in Flagstaff and Las Cruces - Flagstaff Brewing Co. and High Desert Brewing, respectively, I headed west towards LA and ending up spending some time in Tucson. Again the weather was perfect, and again, I almost didn't want to leave. But I had to get back to the day job and get bills paid so I climbed back onto I-10 and headed home to Los Angeles
It was a successful almost 3 weeks on the road playing shows and I'm glad that my friend and fellow singer/songwriter Mikaela Dewar was able to play a few shows with me and travel - I'm looking forward to playing shows with her in this new year. The trips that are coming up will be covering a lot of the same ground with a few new venues here and there. As much as I love California, I also love being out on the road - seeing what there is to see.

My album that I put out last year, HOME, can still be found on iTunes and CD Baby - search Jeremiah and the Red Eyes or just follow the links below:

In early December the 4th Annual Original Holiday Song show took place at The Cinema Bar. I've been a part of all four of the shows and this year I was able to pull something together - which wasn't easy - just like the previous years. But I thought it went all right. You can hear it on my Soundcloud page - along with several other songs of different vintages - Just follow the link here:

I do have a bunch of photos to post - and will do that soon -
