There may be no place like home, but it sure is fun to be on the road for a while!  Over the last 2 1/2 weeks, I toured from Seattle all the way down to Los Angeles, and had a riot playing shows and meeting new people along the way.  After playing a show in San Francisco, a chance encounter landed me singing a Fleetwood Mac song with a band called The Shants at Cafe Du Nord in SF, which was fun (and also nerve-wracking, because I don’t know the verse lyrics very well).  There I met the great boys of Truth & Salvage Co. (see them live if you get the chance!) who invited me to come see them play a show in Big Sur.  Such a beautiful place, I’m gonna have to go back there during the day sometime!

I made a video of the tour, to the tune of a cover song we recorded while in LA:

Farther south, I got a little sun and songwriting fix in LA, doing a co-write with the lovely Alysse Fischer.  Alysse is working on her first album, which will be recorded in April with my great friend and producer Wes Switzer.  We had a lot of fun writing, and got a catchy-as-hell song out of it.

After more exciting stuff in LA (which I leave you to guess at!), there was an early morning departure to drive back to Oregon.  I’m so thrilled to be back on this beautiful coast and getting to spend more time collaborating with all of my amazing musicians friends.  I’m planning several other tours for this year (on both sides of the pond!), so stay tuned…
