Anthony da Costa :Secret Handshake:

The above passage is from Woody Guthrie's autobiography, Bound for Glory, which I finally just read (after years of singing his songs).  As you can see, Woody's description of touring life, after being asked about it by two young girls, is not exactly what you'd call pretty...There's a lot of truth in there...But thankfully, I'll be playing some GREAT venues with some GREAT people this summer!

That's right!  With school ending for the semester in just a few days, I'm getting ready to go on a summer-long summer tour!  This particular tour will take me from New York to Texas (by way of Ohio), then up the west coast to Canada, and then all the way out to Denmark.  I'm pretty excited about it!  

All show dates and details are available over at the tour page.  Some of these shows are solo, some are with Elliott, Rose, da Costa, some as a co-bill with Raina Rose, and others as a sideman for the likes of Sam Baker and Carrie Elkin.  It's going to be quite the adventure. 

For you NYC-area folks, I've still got a couple of shows in town before I leave, including one with my fantastic trio, the members of which I will miss dearly while I'm traveling all around...But I'll be back to jam with them in the fall!

As for the rest of you, hope to see you out there!  Let's make noise!
