On July 11th I’ll be joining Common Rotation when we open for Indigo Girls in San Luis Obispo. I’ve seen Indigo Girls many, many times over the years, and I’m incredibly excited to be sharing a stage with them. Tickets and info here.
Have you heard their new album? It’s called Poseidon and the Bitter Bug and it’s awesome. The iTunes deluxe version comes with a bonus album with all the studio tunes performed acoustically. Worth it.
At the San Luis Obispo show I’ll be on mandolin and possibly piano. Plus we’ll be selling our new CD, Common Rotation vs. The Dust Bowl Cavaliers, at the show. Stay tuned for the ComRo/DBC CD release show here in LA…
My top Indigo Girls memory: In the summer of 1994 Lori, Jason and I borrowed a car in Cimmaron, New Mexico, and drove 8 hours to Denver in the hopes of catching their sold-out show at Red Rocks. We snagged some scalped tickets under a freeway overpass just before showtime. Amazing seats. Magic night. Amy Ray covered Romeo and Juliet solo on electric. After the show we had no place to stay, so Jason opened the phone book and called a kid he hadn’t seen since 5th grade. The guy was home, remembered Jason, and happened to be throwing a party that night. We raged, crashed, and drove back to New Mexico in the morning, arriving at the ranch just in time to hike back to camp. Perfect.
