September shows in NC, VA with Walter Salas-Humara; October shows in the midwest with Steve Forbert!

The well-appointed book and record collection

 Hi folks

I'm going out to promote The Face of 68, my solo record that was released in April of this year. I hope I'm coming somewhere near you on one of these runs, but if not, please let me know where you'd like me to play in 2026, and we'll get on that. 

September:

• Wednesday 9/24: Gas Hill Drinking Room, Winston-Salem NC
• Thursday 9/25: Bourgie Nights, Wilmington NC
• Friday 9/26: Port Merch, Raleigh NC
• Saturday 9/27: Chilton House, Richmond VA

These shows are all with the esteemed and wonderful Walter Salas-Humara, my friend of many years but someone with whom I've never shared a stage, to our knowledge!

October:

• Wednesday 10/22: Space, Evanston IL
• Thursday 10/23: Shank Hall, Milwaukee IL
• Friday 10/24; The Bur Oak, Madison WI
• Saturday 10/25: The Parkway Theater, Minneapolis MN

And these shows are opening for Steve Forbert, legendary troubadour deluxe! (Before the Shank Hall show, I'll be doing a 3:00pm in-store at Irving Place Records, in case you want to hear even more songs by me!

Continually looking to book more solo shows. January brings me to Hoboken and hopefully further Northeast. Again, please let me know here or contact Bill Hutchison here and tell us where you want me to come sing for you.

Love

The Face of 68 and other news updates - 3/1/25

Just so I do this in chronological order:

• Saturday March 8 - Chilton House, Richmond VA (sold out)
• Sunday March 9 - Chilton House, Richmond VA matinee 

Two people I very much look forward to sharing a stage, and hear them sing their amazing songs. You should come!

And then....

THE FACE OF 68

My new solo album The Face of 68 is being released on green glass colored vinyl Record Store Day 2025 (April 12)! Here's what the cover looks like (artwork is by Jon Langford). Pretty cool, huh? And the RSD sticker is on the shrink wrap, I promise.

The label releasing it is Label 51 Recordings, who also have the new Vicki Peterson & John Cowsill album Long After the Fire coming out RSD, as well as We Can Help, a new Sweet Relief album to which I contributed a track. The Label 51 catalog is full of fine artists like Rain Parade (who are making some of their finest music recently) and Sid Griffin (about to start a tour with Peter Case); the label's staff has been on point and enthusiastic through the whole process.

There's a single from the album called "She and Me" that's on streaming services now. Here's a link to the sweet animated lyric video. (There was a first single released as well, "Larger Than Life," which you can also find on streaming services.) Here is the Spotify link. 

RECORD RELEASE SHOWS

I have a couple of record release parties scheduled:

• April 24, Gas Hill Drinking Room, Winston-Salem NC (with Michael Slawter)
• April 25, Cat's Cradle Back Room, Carrboro NC (with Florence Dore)

My band will include Rob Ladd on drums and Robert Sledge on bass, reprising their roles from The Face of 68; we will be joined by Sam Frazier on guitar.

There will be a few more shows in major metro areas soon thereafter as well. We're workin' on it!

HOUSE CONCERTS THIS SUMMER - CAN YOU HOST ME?

I'm working with Tina Dunn to start booking a house concert tour of the Pacific Northwest and California this summer. Here's Tina's contact info if you have a house with a living room or backyard that could accommodate 50 fans. Tina booked a house concert tour of the East Coast a couple years ago, and it was great fun for me and everyone who came to the shows!

OTHER FUN STUFF

I did some more recording with The Paranoid Style last week in Durham, with Jason Richmond behind the board again. A bunch more great new songs from Elizabeth Nelson!

I have a Linktree now, too. It's got all the appropriate linkyness you would need to follow me. 

THE FINE PRINT

Thanks to Wendy Brynford-Jones at Hello Wendy PR who has done a superior job making me look interesting to the press for this record; to Bill Hutchison who manages his unmanageable client; to Dixon, Ladd, Sledge, Simonsen, Dixon-Jones, Richmond, Powell, Carroll, Langford, Krop and Associates for making this be; to all the girls I've loved before; to everything there is a season; to each his own; to little, to late (sic and sic). 

And especially to my family for always being there.

So follow me. I'm still infrequent here, but I'm trying hard to be "back with a vengeance"--the new album is cause for celebration, it's really good if I do say so myself, and I hope you like where I'm going with it. Come along!

Love
