Opening for Bo Bice. The Wagon Wheel, Warsaw, IN. March 15th. 
The last of the dates opening for Bo. Back to my regular way of commuting to gigs (via car not tour bus.) This was a great venue with a circular stage…pretty cool. It was also great b/c the audience was so close to us, that [...]

Opening for Bo Bice. The Crofoot: Pontiac, Michigan. March 13th.
Friday the 13th, and all of our guitars were spooked. In spite of it all…still a good show, I hope.

The Bluebird Cafe. Jan 25th.

Open Eye Cafe. Carrboro, NC with Last Watch.
In the world of music booking, there’s nothing worse than trying to book a last minute gig out of town. The venues don’t know you, it can be hard to ensure a local draw, and the guys booking the calendar notoriously hate hearing from an act just days [...]
