Campaign to Save Paste

Paste Magazine is a great independent music magazine that is in danger of having to stop its presses due to the struggling economy. This magazine has been very supportive of quality independent music in its short 6 year life and it would be a shame to see them have to close their doors. Recently the company launched the "Campaign to Save Paste" to raise money to keep the magazine afloat.

From pastemagazine.com:

"If you are in a position to give even a little, please consider donating. As thanks for your generosity, over 70 amazing artists (including The Decemberists, Neko Case, Bob Mould, Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls, The Jayhawks, Brandi Carlile, John Roderick of The Long Winters, Patterson Hood, The Avett Brothers and Josh Ritter—with more to come) have gathered and donated rare & exclusive MP3s for all who join us in the campaign."

Fall Tour, vol. 2

So, I've been extremely terrible about updating my blog here. It's far too late to post entries about the rest of my fall tour with Julie Neumark, but if you click HERE you can watch a video blog of the rest of our shows on the tour. I'm gonna make an early New Year's resolution to be better at this whole blogging thing from here on out. Hope you enjoy the videos....see you soon.

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..........
