Blue Sky Riders

Yesterday afternoon I was feeling tired. This ol’ road was catching up to me. I was afraid that after the show I would not have the energy to write the blog so that YOU…. the most important people in this entire journey (outside of my brother Randy who I HAVE to remember needs four tickets to the Anaheim show!) can feel like you are out here WITH us, enjoying every Denny’s and  lumpy mattress. Then I had a revelation. I will write the blog about the show BEFORE the show. I mean, I kind of know how it’s gonna go, right? So here goes. Here is what happened tonight. If I end up being  wrong about anything I will suck it up and correct it before I go to bed. (more…)

There are shows that are on the schedule forever… you look forward to them for so long and then they are here and you play and… they’re over. And you are sad. One second you are on stage and the next you are in the bus and there is a sign saying “NOTLEF” in your rear view mirror. For me it was last night’s show at Don Quixote’s. (more…)

Uptown Theater in Napa. Holy cow. It was just an amazing night. I don’t want to make all the other shows we have done feel bad. Honestly. When I said you were the best… I totally meant it. But tonight’s show here in Napa… this may have been the best. I’m not saying it was a better audience. All our audiences are exceptional in their own way (good save)… it’s just kind of everything onstage coming together just right. It’s mostly us. Let’s leave you the hell out of it for a minute. Does it always have to be about YOU? Tonight it was about us. (more…)

The first time we played the Mountain Winery in Saratoga CA we played to around six people. The layout of this venue has two levels. Everyone goes to the top level to eat and drink wine before they go down to the stage level to hear the show. We they DON’T do is go down in time for the opening act. Hence the six people who obviously were either full or had wine allergies. (more…)
