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 -
yours truly,
Jeremiah
