Summertime...

So this summer has been off the hook, and I've been to distracted to blog effectively about it. We had a blast in Chicago at the end of May, it was great seeing some old friends and making a few new ones. A big belated thanks to Reed Herron of Speakeasy for stepping into the bass guitar sized hole in the trio for us. We're going to try to head back in January for the Midwest Clinic, so keep your eyes on the website.

Montana, Montana, Montana! I hadn't been in about 15 years and what I suspected was my memories inflated sense of wonder turned out to be pretty accurate. This is what was going on while we were playing on the 4th (great photo by Mark Mesenko):


If you squint you can see me in the center window. I can't believe anyone was inside watching us. Dustin 'Duk' Rehgan saved us this trip, we've gotta get this bass thing straightened out! Anyway, I have to take a second to recommend the Bitteroot valley to everyone, unreservedly, we had an absolute blast. Every one was so nice there, very polite and supportive as an audience, hilarious to talk to and gracious as hosts. Lapin's Garden (pictured above) is probably the coolest venue I've played in. For real. click through and check out their photos, it's pretty amazing. Tell 'em we sent you!

Tomorrow night we'll be at the High Life Live in sweet home Springfield between the Lemmondrop DJ's. Should be a pretty excellent night with Reed Herron on bass with us. We play 11-12.

Friday night we'll be at the Springfield Brewing Company from 10-1, Brandon Henson from Branson, MO will be with us for this one. This will be the first time Dalton and I have played with Brandon since the last Greene Coast gig, and there's a potential for one Jim E. Starlight to appear with a Thermin, so you don't want to miss this action. If you haven't signed up for the email list, please do! It's lots of fun. We'll see you soon!
