***Summer Tour is Right Around the Corner***

May 9th, 2010

A whole lot has been happening in the past month or so- we’ve been hard at work in the studio puts the gloss and touches on our next full-length record, tentatively titled ,”Summer in the Sun”.  It will feature 11 or so brand new songs by yours truly with an assortment of instruments and great performances by the Tourists.  We’re back in the studio with Cheek Andrews and are looking towards a Fall release date- in the meantime, I’ll be leaking some of the advance tracks here and on my Facebook page so check back often.

Our other big news is that we are teaming up with the folks at Kickstarter.com to raise funds for our summer tour and upcoming live record- We’ll be heading out west for a couple of weeks this summer, joined by new Tourists Leslie Sanazaro (keys and vox) and Ryan Ashmore (bass, guitar and vox) at the end of our show dates, we’ll be heading in to the famous Black Lodge Recording Studio in Eudora, KS. to document the live set from the previous weeks’ shows.  As I’m sure you know, an undertaking like this takes money to do; to pay the musicians, for gasoline, food and accomodations and to pay for the studio time and engineer’s fees to produce the record.  Please take a second to help us realize this project- the minimum bid is just $1 and is taken care of through the secure and gauranteed folks at Amazon.com. There are also all sorts of cool premiums we’re offering for those who pledge as our way of saying thank you for your support- you can read all about it here-
