Farewells, Moving and Reunions

Hello and I hope summer is treating you well.

This summer has been rolling along with some pleasant surprises and it's going to end with big goodbye.  So here is what's happening:

Reunions:  While I was on tour with PJ Bond this past June (which by the way was awesome) I received a phone call asking if my old punk band, Plow United (facebook,twitter) wanted to play a reunion show in Philadelphia on September 24 during the one day Riot Fest East festival.  The festival's headlining bands are The Descendents, X, and The Dead Milkmen.  If any of you know these bands, then you understand what a big deal this show is.  If you don't know those bands, the show is a big deal.  So after working out the details and talking it over, we agreed that the timing was right and we got on board.  We are really looking forward to playing together for the first time in 13 years and we are talking about writing new songs.  This is going to be fun.

Moving:  My wife and I are leaving the Old North State.  We will be moving to the Garden State known as New Jersey.  Graduate school calls and my wife answered and no it's time to go.  I've lived in Western NC for 11 years and I will miss this great state.  We were reminded what a great place it is geographically this past weekend when we drove from mountains to sea... cardinal to pelican.... dogwood to palm.  We leave in August right after I play a 

Farewell show:  On Saturday August 20, 2011 I will be playing a farewell show at The Grey Eagle.  I will be playing with full band and will do some solo stuff.  Also playing the show and sitting in on my set will be The Electric Owls and PJ Bond.  This will be a great way to play my last show as a NC resident at my favorite venue in Asheville.

Vinyl:  The Taking Or The Leaving is now available on vinyl and you can purchase it here-Vinyl

Thanks once again for all your support and see you all soon!
