Working Our way UP the West Coast

20 Jul

Today NPR ran another interview with me, this one on Here and Now.   I like how they edited it, we taped for about a half hour and they edited it down to a manageable 10 minutes or so. I am thrilled to be on the show, it’s a first for me. Two NPR interviews in a short period of time is unheard of, not sure how the heck my publicist pulled it off, but I am grateful.

Also, The Advocate came to my hotel in Santa Monica and shot some video of me and Tania playing The Orphan King sitting on the bed in my room, and we videotaped a Q and A session as well out in the Courtyard. I think both sessions came out well.

We’re working our way up the coast, playing shows all the way up. The West Coast is fantastic this time of year, cool at night, beautiful during the day. I played in San Diego, then two sold out shows in LA at McCabe’s Guitar Shop, the a couple days off at my friend Lana Lewis’s great little inn on the water outside of Santa Cruz in Capitola The Monarch Cove Inn, then up to San Francisco and then Eugene where we played a great house concert hosted by Michael Strain. To get there we drove thru the Redwood Forest, up the Avenue of the Giants, where we witnessed the giant redwoods, just amazing.

The beautiful artwork from The Foundling that Lilli Carre created (under the art direction of Gail Marowitz) was recreated by Lisa Beyer for our in-store at Millenium Music in Portland, OR today. NICE!
