i’ve been glued to the microphone and podium working on words and fishing out songs.  it’s been an exhilarating two weeks and i’m happy to say the flow is flowing.

i’m also happy to announce that we’ve got a lot of touring coming up this year.  First, we’ll be heading to Austin to play two showcases at SXSW.  One at Threadgill’s on March 17 and one at The Parish on March 19th.  And before we get down to Austin, we’ll be making a brief stop for a two-night stand in my hometown of Paris, Texas, headlining at Buffalo Joe’s.  I’m very excited about this….

Then in April, we have a couple of weeks off and we’ll be heading out to Long Island, New York to play a friend’s wedding and doing a show in Boston and a show in New York City.  This will happen around April 20.  More details to follow.

Then…...we get home, rest for a bit, and begin the biggest touring schedule of our band’s career.  We’ll be starting in May and will continue (with a break here and then) through September.  We’ll be hitting up the Midwest, South, Colorado Area, and the East Coast primarily.  Then, if all goes well, we’ll expand outward and begin hitting up the West Coast.  Stay tuned for more details….....

In the meantime, I’m getting more tunes together.  Here’s a list of some of the songs I’ve penned in the past two weeks:

Golden From The Rule
This Ordinary Life
All The Way
Diablo
Shake Me Good
In The Hour Of Need
You & Me
Go To Hell

Talk To You Soon,

After an epic two-day RV ride through one of the nastiest storms I’ve ever experienced, me and half my band are safe and sound right outside Tampa, Florida in a tiny town called Odessa.  The drive was long and brutal (that’s what she said) and if had to create a keyword list to define the activities of the trip, this is how it would read:

Surly Furious
Blizzard
cell-phone Tetris
Joe Camel
pickled hot dogs
Vitamin Water
Cranium
Flaming Lips
pistachios
siamese cats
ice sheets
Arby’s
crazy christian country radio stations
Tom Petty

...the list could go on, but I’ll stop there.  A few things also had to be left out, but you can imagine what they are. 
So I’m in Florida for a couple of days.  Tomorrow, we’re renting a car and driving to see Phish in Miami.  If you haven’t seen them (when they’re on their game), you haven’t seen a live concert.  But until then, we’re enjoying the company of friends and family and hoping you are too.

Peace,
jason
