Load the gear, a PA, our clothes for a week and 3 people? No problem! Yay Saturn Ion! Kristen has been helping capture the scenes – she’s still impressed with what we can pack in the car. When my voice is inhibited, it’s one of the only times I listen to my own recorded music.…

You’ve heard about this, right? You use a carefully carved potato in place of light bulbs to conserve power? Yeah… Paul’s a sceptic too. Lemme talk to you about folk art. Can we do that for a bit? We should totally chat about that. Kristen and I went out to the Visionary Art Museum in…

Capital City Cheeeesecake! It’s not what you think! I’d spilled something on Brennan’s pants! DUDE!!! It’s STILL not what you think! (At Te Amo in Baltimore, MD) It’s been but a moment, and I’ve left the Journal for a week plus. That’s no good. It’s just so easy to leave little paragraph-sized droppings on Facebook…

Schuuuul KILL!!!! Lovely show tonight at Penn State Schuylkill in Pennsylvania tonight. It wasn’t connected to any tour, just a hop up to PA and a hop back. About 5.5 hours of driving (thanks to a random circle the GPS lead us on… we disbelieved it for but a moment and in retaliation it took…

So, this past Tuesday I officially turned my Trax on Wax open mic over to Meg Bowen. It just seemed to be for the best. I never expected her to make such a big deal out of it! She threw me a party! I was really flattered – I mean, there was RED VELVET CAKE!!!…

Well, I’ve been asked to shut up. “Dear”. I was apparently talking about hamster balls too much. I thought I was making a positive contribution to the conversation since neither Kristen or Heather have ever owned a hamster and have little to no experience with the species. But apparently, I’ve gone too far, and I’ve…

On our way out to Leaky Pete’s Oyster and Wine Bar in Cambridge, MD – the sun goes down in spectacular fashion over the Chesapeake Bay. So, you know all musicians do drugs, right? And all ACOUSTIC musicians are potheads, right? Here was a note passed to us at the end of our show at…

Weird dreams last night – going from the mundane to the stressful. I begin by trying to figure out small, silly things on my new phone, working through the OS and trying to change profile pictures (and trying to figure out why it keeps changing back to an excessively silly picture of me). So the…

There wasn’t much to laugh about at the Super 8 in Pittston, PA – bur I did have to at least kind of lookaskance at this warning. I’m not sure what this is… but I had to step in it. Photo courtesy of our friend Josh – grafitti found in the doorway of Victoria Station…

To break up the drive between Plattsburgh, NY and Putnam, CT Heather and I stopped at reknown folk club Caffe Lena to hit up their open mic. Unfortunately, not knowing the schedule completely we spent about an hour locked out of the place. However – that gave us just enough time to grab some sushi…
