Signing Off

Guitar strings? Check. Passport? Check. Toothpaste? Check. Cold medicine that actually works? Check. Classic novel that I would otherwise never read except for the fact that it’s the last book I have in English? Check. That should about do it! Back to Logan Terminal E once again for what is bound to be quite an adventure, with over thirty European shows in as many nights. I can’t tell you how excited I am to step on stage and do some serious guitar pickin’ once again. I even worked up a few more John Hurt numbers for the tour (I soon hope to know all 13 of the 1928 Okeh sides), and I also dusted off a couple Secret Stars chestnuts for any of you who might want to hear ‘em.

Although I always plan to update this space from the road, staring at a computer is usually the last thing on my mind once tour chaos ensues, so realistically I won’t hit you back until I return in early May. Until then, have a great spring, and please stop by a show if you’re in the neighborhood!
