southbound

A quick reminder, as I'm on my way out the front door, that I'm off on my more-or-less annual southeast jaunt this week. Joining me will be Scott Simontacchi on mandolin, Dennis Crouch on bass, and Shad Cobb on the 4-string fiddle. We'll hit Greer SC tomorrow, then Durham, Charlotte, and Decatur, and wind up on Saturday at the Opry; further microdetails on bandsintown and Facebook and et cetera. Since the southeast US is the historical wellspring of my music these occasional trips pull a little heavier on my heart -- and, ahem, a good turnout is especially heartening for those same sentimental reasons.

After that, a little writing in Nashville, including a session with one of my favorite guitarists on the planet, David Grier. David's writing vocal numbers for his next record and I couldn't be more thrilled to lend a hand, or see if I can at least. Then I'll be back home in about a week and in touch about whatever subject comes up next....
