In Between Days - Tour Break

Back in Southern California for a few days - took care of some business this morning, going to work tomorrow and then the next, then on Monday I fly back to Denver and continue eastward with the tour. It'll be a stop in St. Louis, a stop in Nashville, then early Thursday morning on the 21st I'll head to Knoxville, Tennessee to play on the WDVX show The Blue Plate Special - 12 noon EASTERN standard time. Here's the link:

From Knoxville I head up to the Cincinnati area and play from 10pm to 1am at The Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY - which is right across the river from downtown Cincinnati. This place has been good to me in the past and I'm looking forward to coming back to this venue.
After the Southgate House I'll be driving over to St. Louis to play Friday night, the 22nd, at The Heavy Anchor - which is a place I played last year - it's a cool spot and I'm glad that they're having me back.
It'll be nice to be out on those midwest and southern roads once again - I'm looking forward to getting some BBQ too.

Southwest Tour - Day 8

It's Monday night and I'm in Denver, CO. Mikaela flew back to Nashville this afternoon after we played in Fort Collins at the KRFC station. I head south tomorrow morning for Taos, NM where the next show is - at The Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn. I hope the weather stays mild so I can get there safely.
It's been a busy 8 days - a little stressful with the storms that rolled through the areas we were in - or going to be in - so that's why I've missed writing here over the past several days. We made it from LA through Arizona - up through the east side of Utah and then western Colorado. We heard about the storm that was going to hit the mountains with forecast of some large amounts of snow - Denver too. But luckily it wasn't as bad as expected and slowly and carefully we made it into town - with enough time to get to our gig on Saturday night. We had a show in Boulder last night and today the radio show.
It's been a good road trip and I look forward when we can hit the road together again - hopefully before the year is over. It's nice having a road partner again - I've definitely missed having someone to share the experience with and I felt that we had a good mix.
After a trip back to LA over the weekend to take care of some business I'll be heading east - stopping in St. Louis and Nashville - and then on Thursday, March 21 at 12pm EST I'll be playing on the radio again out of Knoxville, TN on The Blue Plate Special show -
listen in here through the link: WDVX Blue Plate Special
Then later that evening I'll be in the Cincinnati area at the Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY - which is right across the river from downtown Cincinnati from 10 to 1am. On Friday I head back to St. Louis for a show at The Heavy Anchor - then eventually make my way back to the West Coast.

SW Tour - Day 5

It's been a long day today. Last night we were in Flagstaff where we played our 2 shows - and both went well - good crowds. We woke up to snow - and it continued to fall. Cautiously we headed northeast towards Monument Valley as the snow fell more and more. As we came down from the high elevation it cleared up, but when we got into Utah it started snowing again.
We finally made it to Fruita, CO - which is on the west side of Colorado just past the Utah border. Mikaela and I had a good gig in a nice little venue - attentive crowd, great sound - it's called Cavalcade - and hopefully I'll be back there before the year is over.
Tomorrow we're supposed to head to Denver, but there is a blizzard that's going to hit pretty much the entire state - so we might be stuck over here for another night. I'll be checking the weather report when I get up in the morning.
I think that's it for now - after a couple nigts of not sleeping all that well or that much I'm feeling pretty beat this evening - so over and out

Jeremiah

Tour - day 3

The Arizona weather has been amazing - a perfect time to venture out here - 75 degrees during the day and not too chilly at night - well here in Scottsdale that is - and the surrounding areas. Even up in Jerome is was cool but in the sun warm - we sat for a while in the sun in Sedona and relaxed and just looked out to the surrounding view which is truly amazing. We almost didn't want to leave, but we have shows to do and soon we made it back to the car and headed down Highway 17 to the Phoenix Valley.
Tonight we played in Cave Creek at Janey's Coffeehouse and Bodega - a cool spot in a cool little town that's north of Phoenix in the hills. The town has a relaxed feel - and Janey's has that feeling too. We set up the gear and soon got down to playing some music. People showed up and we worked our way through our sets. Things are feeling more familiar to me as we keep playing each show and it was a good idea, I see now, to book the radio show towards the end of this run - but that's on Monday.
Tomorrow we're headed up the road to Flagstaff - I can't wait to get back to that town. We're doing two shows. The first is at Vino Loco from 6 to 8 - and the second is at the Flagstaff Brewing Company from 10 to 1 am. I'm sure we'll be pretty tired at the end of the night. On Friday we head to Colorado - I'm hoping that the snow that's supposed to fall won't be too bad

The Homesick Blues Tour - day 2

So it has begun
- we played last night at 4th Street Vine in Long Beach which was the official start of the tour that my friend and singer/songwriter Mikaela Dewar are doing together. I felt that it was a good night - even though we're still getting things worked out and I know things will be getting better with each show - it feels good overall and I'm looking forward to playing tonight up in Jerome, Arizona at The Spirit Room.
Yesterday morning I was up early and started getting my things ready - knowing that I had to pack the car. I had my check list of things since in previous trips I always seem to leave something important behind - I have yet to realize what I've left behind so far. Midday I made it to LAX to pick up Mikaela who was flying in from Nashville where she recently relocated back to after two years in Austin (she's originally from Christchurch, New Zealand). I met her just about 4 years ago when I was living in Nashville and have been good friends since.
After some food in Echo Park we got down to some rehearsing - looking through lyric sheets and and chord charts and felt we were ready for the gig. We packed up the car, managing to get everything inside - a lot of stuff for this 9 day tour and I had to leave some stuff home - but we're ready.
I'm looking forward to the drive up through the middle of Arizona and over the mountains to get us to that crazy old hillside mining town of Jerome - more later...

The Homesick Blues Tour Poster

The Western Fall Tour - part II

So it's the end of December and I realize I haven't posted anything about the rest of my trip in October. Overall it was a good trip - I went from LA through Arizona, up to Colorado, and then headed to Texas and Austin, and finally turned west towards home.
I played several shows - Austin at Maria's Taco Express and in Las Cruces, New Mexico at the High Desert Brewing Co. - which both went well. I also had some incredible food - in Amarillo I stopped at the Big Texan for a big ol' steak. In Austin I went to Franklin BBQ, which I had heard about for a while and I was glad that I was finally able to go - and it was amazing - and worth the hour and a half wait. The brisket was a taste like no other I've had - and hopefully I can go back the next time I'm in Austin.
It had been a while since I had done a road trip like that one. I was traveling for 2 weeks and covered many miles in my car. None of it seemed that bad - even driving from Austin to the west - which is no easy drive - it takes about 9 hours just to get out of Texas but the time and miles flew by. My car did well and after a stop in Tucson and Cave Creek in Arizona, I got back on the road and headed home. It felt good to get back into my own bed and get a good night of sleep - which doesn't happen often when I'm on the road. I made it back to LA just in time for Halloween

The next tour is in March and on this trip I'll be joined by my friend and fellow singer/songwriter Mikaela Dewar from New Zealand. We'll be playing shows in Long Beach, Jerome, Cave Creek, Flagstaff, Santa Fe, Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins on the Live@Lunch radio show, Taos - and then later I'll head east to St. Louis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Newport, KY.

The new CD, HOME, is now available through CD Baby and iTunes:
