Thanks to Sean and Mike at Daytrotter for making John's last session featured on the front page. He had the grand opportunity to record unreleased songs at the old studio before the operations moved to their new compound. Jams at www.daytrotter.com.

On my last tour, I had the opportunity to work with Jacob Winik again in Tiny Telephone studio B for a single night. In that night, I recorded a suite of songs and melodies named Vice Versa Suite. The short album, which will be released on December 1st on CD/Digital, will be released in Tulsa, OK and Norman, OK that same weekend. Keep your eyes to the sky for these all acoustic songs.

Hello, dear friends and people of the Earth.
More summer tour dates announced for August with the good M. Lockwood Porter and a fall tour planned ahead for September and October. Come see us in or around your town.
Before tour starts, I will be accompanying the hard-working tunesmith Jeremey Quentin of Small Houses in Tiger, GA, recording his new full-length record with a group of good folks and musicians.
Finally, I am pleased to say that studio time has been booked out in November to record my next full-length record. After months of touring, I am ready to put down the songs and stories I've gathered. More info soon.
love,
John
