winter tour mach II

cock a leg up folks, we're back on tour. thank you all for helping us kick off this leg @ a sold out show in austin last night. thanks to the folks at stubb's & la zona rosa for accomodating our move due to potentially inclement weather (which, unfortunately never reared it's head).
very much looking forward to these upcoming shows.
summer tour plans are coming together & will be announced very shortly. we will be on the road from summer camp straight thru to bonaroo, so stay tuned for details.
hello. goodbye.

one leg down

hello all,
sitting in the airport in st. louis, waiting for a plane. just wanted to thank you all for making the 1st leg of our winter tour an enjoyable, successful outing. thanks also to our great road crew w/o whom none of this would be possible. they are totally the unsung heroes of our world. the shows come off the way they do, largely due to their efforts - & when they make our job easy, we can focus on playing. thanks guys.

thanks to all of you who really went out of your way to join us on this run. we had folks who drove from boston to chicago, flew from seattle to just about everywhere, drove from portland ME & did the whole tour, flew from l.a. & did the whole tour, sconies all over the place, & of course, good friends from charlotte & nashville who always show up @ the right time & make our lives on the road seem a bit more normal. it was a very impressive showing, all around. thank you all.

looking forward to getting back to texas, ok, new orleans, charlotte, & atlanta (2 nts. @ the fox!), and then on to snoe.down. we just confirmed the everyone orchestra, which will include jon fishman, jamie masefield, steve kimock, as well as members of moe. & several other musicians. should prove to be an interesting ride. did I mention that moe. is playing outside on the mountain on saturday afternoon? ski or ride up to the stage & enjoy some hot chocolate w. us.

other (warmer) news - currently planning our summer tour. we will begin @ summer camp & tour straight thru to bonnaroo. we are also planning @ least 2 add'l runs. details will come shortly. there will be several big shows, some nice short runs w. friends, plenty of moe. & plans to make sure we cover as much ground as possible this summer (even the often lost & forgotten left coast).

as of now, we have moe., umphrey's, keller, rusted root, yonder, & billy nershi's band confirmed for summer camp. there will be much more to come.

boarding flight now. take care.

al.
