We get home in time for Ella Spencer (a singer songwriter from England I’ve become friends with over the past couple years... Dex and I were just in the studio with her the last few days... it’s stellar music) and I do a quick run of acoustic Oregon shows... Portland at Alberta Street Pub, Bend at The Domino Room and Eugene at WOW Hall… …then hopefully a couple weeks of rivers and summer stuff… it feels like I blink these days and summer has flown by...

Lots happening in the fall with proper announcements soon... MEMPHO fest, JMO southern dates, then in November it’s looking like my long sought after London residency is coming together... a month of weekly shows between The Betsey Trotwood and The Green Note… more on all this stuff soon… Meanwhile… who the fuck knows what happens in the world… change is coming… like a Buffalo stampede… And it’s up to us here in the US to decide whether we go fascist (not hyperbole… at all)… Or continue... with the American constitutional government experiment… while tho flawed… is, after a little traveling around this world, something beautiful to hold on to and work hard for… So… you know what to do……. Fucking vote!! Ok, Back to cowboy fairyland... we really hope to see you... it’s gonna be, literally, a hoot… You can hear the hooting now…….
