Fall Tour, vol. 1

Julie Neumark and my Fall Tour is well underway and so far we're having a great time. We flew in to Cincinnati from Los Angeles Thursday night and had a solid night's sleep to recuperate from the flight before we played a place called Barleycorn's in Cold Springs, KY last night. I knew it was gonna be a great night when I ordered a tall (24 fl. oz.) Smithwick's and it only cost me $4.75!!! Now, that stuff costs a good $6 a pint (16 fl. oz.) in L.A., so I took it as a great omen and a clear indication that the rest of the night, (dare I say it?) the tour was going to be fantastic. True to that omen, we had a lot of fun kicking off at Barleycorn's. Afterward we were able to make it to the Midpoint Music Festival in downtown Cincinnati where we watched my friends Scratch Track rock the house. Those guys are truly amazing and definitely worth checking out. If they're ever playing a show near you, please do yourself a favor and go see them. I promise they will not disappoint.

Tonight we played a place called Common Grounds in Lexington, KY. It was our first time in Lexington and we were extremely pleased with the turnout and response...especially considering that we don't really know anyone down there! Thanks so much to those of you who've come out thus far. Tomorrow we're off to Urbana, IL where we're playing the Iron Post with an old friend of Julie's called Eleni Moraites. Another new city for us, so we're excited to get in there and show 'em what we can do.

Until next time..........
