Coyote Wednesday is back, for one night only!

Back in the early uncertainty four years ago, this is the space where we’d gather on Wednesday nights through our glowing screens and sing off the dark. It’s where I wrote and answered letters. I called it Coyote Wednesday, and I’m bringing it back on May 29th to mark four years since the last time and preview tunes from the album I am recording the first week of June.

To cut this next work in studio with the band, I’ll be unleashing limited edition releases based on the wonderful art of @judeweaver and others to help cover costs. Donations always accepted. As it used to be, it’ll be live from Facebook first, all at once beginning at 7pm central. More news soon. Thank you again for listening all these years.

In the meantime, suiting up and heading eastbound to play electric guitar for Wild Child this month. See you first off of the king’s highway.

A Busy Spring

Studio time is booked, and I'm over here gently hammering away at my remington monarch and acoustic guitar for whatever may come. Lots of happenings to share.

I contributed an unreleased instrumental track from the Departure Nocturne sessions to Songs Not Bombs Vol 2, to help raise support for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. The album features many artists I enjoy, including Billy Bragg, Adeem The Artist & Jeffrey Martin.

I also had the honor of playing guitar on "The More You Say, The Less It Means" on John Moreland's new album Visitor.

I encourage you to check out both albums.

A few solo shows are coming up in April, and I'm also heading out to accompany a slew of grand songwriters, to keep the spirit alive.
