MY NEW ONLINE STORE and THE RECENT TOUR - August 30, 2010

I've set up an online store with merchandise other than music--t-shirts, mugs and the like. What I really like about this online store is that it provides you with the ability to customize various aspects of the merchandise. For instance, I've always wanted to provide more colors than black or white with t-shirts, but it's not practical from a budget and storage standpoint. But the site that provides these items manufactures each piece as it's ordered. So, if you want a blue t-shirt instead of black, or would like to change the picture on your beer stein, you can!

You can have a look at the store on my "Buy Stuff" page or just click here.

It'll open in a new window, so you can easily navigate back here.

If you have an idea for a new t-shirt or would like something specific emblazoned on yours, let me know. I'd be happy to design it and place it in the store--got a picture of you and I at my show? Put it on a shirt!

As for the on going saga known as The Little Blue Honda Tour; we've come to a long break. Originally, the plan was to settle in Austin, Texas. Circumstances changed. That's on hold. What is not on hold, however, is going through the countless pictures and videos, as well as written entries about the trip. We hit 31 cities in 21 states, through three time zones, covering a total of 7,949 miles. That's literally the equivalent of driving from Chicago to London and back! All the people we met along the way, all the shows I played, the places we saw and experiences that grew from it all--this makes for one hell of a story and the tricks for cheap travel when touring are vast. I'm in the process of compiling everything to present at an event in Chicago in the next month or so. But never fear! If you aren't in Chicago, we're looking at a live webcast of the event. Not quite as good as the real thing, but it'll get things across.

Remember that your comments are welcome here. Not only do I have this section for the latest news, there's also the blog page that connects to my OpenSalon page directly. Wherever you find me online, I really do welcome the interaction, so give up your opinions--of my music, my stories, a recent blog--it's appreciated.

Here's a map I compiled of The Little Blue Honda Tour-Part One.

Yes, I'm laying in low in the north woods of Wisconsin planning the next chapter of this saga.

OFF TO THE NORTH WOODS - August 22, 2010

We've nearly completed six weeks on the road and are now heading to the North Woods of Wisconsin to make plans for the next leg of the tour. There's tons of video to edit, but the DVD showing the studio process with George Belle during the making of my two recent releases along with live appearances from the March and May tours is complete and available. Here's a highlight reel:

There will be clips to see on my YouTube and Vimeo sites soon!

Keep coming back here to check out new recordings and find out where I'm playing next.

Thanks!

SITTING IN AUSTIN - August 21, 2010

We're hanging around Austin, Texas for a few days before heading north again for a time. I played a show here two nights ago and my girl Megan has a photo shoot Monday and her birthday tomorrow. So, we're working from our hotel room at the Extended Stay. I went shopping yesterday to get us food I can cook in the room. It's a bit like having an actual apartment again. This tour has been full of great experiences and surprises. By the time we get to the North Woods of Wisconsin, we'll have been on the road six weeks and I'll have played dozens of shows. Megan has begun joining me on stage, my brother is building us a Cajun drum box for her to use at shows as well, and the new fans, new contacts and new friends I've found along the way are numerous. I really love the road...even wrote a song about it. So, keep following up with me, send your friends to the site here, thanks to everyone who added their support to this tour, and I promise I'll keep the music coming. After a break in Wisconsin, we'll be back on the road to continue The Little Blue Honda Tour. By then, Megan will have plenty of video footage from this trip edited for everyone to watch online or by purchasing the DVD. Remember to check my blog and the follow ups on past shows to read more about the adventure that is the road.
