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
