This is a photo blog of my recent trip that took me from New Braunfels, to New York, to New Braunfels for two shows over the course of about 48 hours. I woke up on Monday morning, February 15th, at 4:30 am. It’s an hour that is usually seen by those in my line of [...]
48 Hours in the life….
of a relatively unknown songwriter. Give or take, of course. The 48 hours, I mean. On Monday I’ll be winging it up to New York City for a show. The next day, I’ll be playing Gruene Hall. That’s a lot of travel for two shows. It’s pretty awesome, of course, that I get to do [...]
Good Morning
The sun has not yet begun to make its way above the horizon, and the sound of a light rain is pitter pattering against my living room window. My most recent habit, which I acquired while I was in Italy a few months ago, is steaming its way through an espresso pot, filling the house [...]
College Street and Commerce Street
I spend a lot of time piloting a large 15 passenger van around the country for my job. It’s anonymously white, and my friends enjoy making fun of me for it. “It’s a child molester van,” they say. This kind of comment never fails in putting me on the defensive. “It couldn’t be a child [...]
Europe, Part 1.
I’ll be writing about our recent tour of Europe in several parts. This is part 1…. Obviously. Thanks, Bernoulli. When I was 10 years old, I learned something from a man at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. He held a strip of paper under his bottom lip, and blew across the top of it. [...]
I’m back!
Well, by the grace of God, German beer, and Italian wine… I made it home. I’m currently working on a recount of the trip for you… so stay tuned, I’ll post it once it’s finished. Until then, I just thought I’d drop by to say hello. “hello.”
It’s Too Hot For Coffee In The Morning
THAT’S when you know it’s hot. I think I heard someone say that we’re in day 29 or so of consecutive 100 and up degree temperatures. Texas in the summer. This year, it’s extra strength. July is starting to really pick up the pace– a bunch of shows leading up to our little trip across [...]
Building a Record
For a lot of artists, the fun in regards to creating an album ends when they finally hear the finished product. That fun picks up again when the release date rolls around, and an artist finally gets to share his blood, sweat, and recorded tears with the rest of the world. In my case, however, [...]
The Masters, Sans Green Jacket.
Hey there. I’ve been patiently awaiting the delivery (albeit a digital delivery) of the mastered version of Audio Guide for my review. Admittedly, patience and I know very little about each other, so we’ve been taking some time this morning to get formal introductions out of the way. Who am I kidding, I’ve been so anxious [...]
Oklahoma Bound, Mississippi Traveled
Hello there! I’m about to hit the road, bound for Oklahoma. Playing one of my favorite places tonight– The Wormy Dog Saloon. Rodney and I get to turn it right around tomorrow morning and head home. Not ideal routing, but it happens. I haven’t been to OKC for quite some time, so I’m looking forward [...]
Fresh Water in the Salton Sea
