If I was Dorothea Lange… Hard-working Heather on the plains of Ohio… Good morning Pittsburgh! We’re here a little earlier than expected and a little longer too. I’m not sure if that’s WHAT SHE SAID or not, it seems a little 50 / 50. That’s where we ARE – let’s talk about where we’ve been….…

And we’re off – north from Columbus headed to Findlay, OH. Boding skies? Psh. We can handle it. Today we dropped in at an old, old haunt. On the one hand, dropping into the Coffee Amici open mic ALWAYS means we don’t have someone paying for our music on a Friday night, and that’s never…

Set up is set up here at Isis Music Hall in Asheville, NC. After spending three whole days in Asheville and generally having had a slow-moving winter, the drive on to Columbus, OH and then on to Findlay, OH has felt slightly breakneck. It’s good, but it takes your breath away a little bit when…

Well, HELLO there…. The rain’s are a’comin’ to Columbus, OH. It’s been a really lush week of playing while surrounded by visual art. The past several days at Julie and Ty’s in Asheville surrounded not just by their work but by the collection of (literally) two lifetimes. Skulls and bugs and pots and paintings. Birds…

Before heading to the Tuesday night open mic over at White Horse Black Mountain we dropped by our hosts’ gallery : the Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts is an incredible collective – and the artists that form the co-op vary in aesthetic from the extremely refined (like Ty and Julie’s practically Victorian work) to the…

I was sad that the two trucks CLEARLY marked “pollywog transport” were probably NOT actually transporting baby frogs – however, between the two of them and the lumber truck in front of them, inside my head someone was building one HELL of a terrarium. We’re really quite enamoured with Asheville this time around. I think…

I’m the one who waits at home. Waiting. By choice – I mean, I HATE contests. I hate the idea, I hate the stress. I hate losing, I hate the weird cattiness about it all if you win. I’ve entered a few, I’ve come out on top in a couple of places, lost plenty. It…

Killing time. Working our way through the day till our bar gig and then playing the bar gig. I hate the idea of killing time, but sometimes you just run out of things that are practical to do – or you run out of the attention span required and the wherewithal to accomplish the things…

Mysterious markings on one’s body are probably something that’ll probably make ANYONE paranoid – and I’ve got kind of a history with it. Years ago, nightmares of torture, waking up with bruises where I’d thrashed and hit myself. In college, a roommate who’d wake up screaming and covered in blood had had recurring nightmares of…

February 25th, 2019 at Teavolve w Jacob Haller. A great night at Teavolve – Jacob Haller from Rhode Island was my featured artist and he was as dry-witted and clever as ever. Good to have him in the house, even if I’m beginning to fear “Killer Robots Eating Your Head” might be a little bit…
