Hey everyone! I've
got a couple of fun things going on this month, and a couple of great ways you can
all help the continuum to, well, continue. 1) The Solomon
Douglas Swingtet "Loose Wig Tour 2010" - Yes, that's right, we're
going on tour again!!! This tour will encompass many East Coast cities. You can
get the full details from Solomon's website, www.solomondouglas.com, but meanwhile
you'll find links to the dates and locations below: 2)
Here's a question for you: do you have any idea how much it costs to take
a band on tour? Not just the fee paying the musicians to perform; I'm talking
about the everyday expenses like gas, food, lodging, bail money, pancakes at 3am,
and all those other unforeseen but necessary expenses. Well, I guess they're not
technically unforeseen because we're foreseeing them now. Anyway, back to the original
question: do you know how much it costs to take a band on the road? Solomon Douglas
does, and he's figured out a way you all can help make this tour happen! There's
this website called Kickstarter which will allow you to help back this project financially
in exchange for cool prizes! http://kck.st/aIsKlX Notice that we're not outright
asking for money, this is more like the fundraising done by Public Radio stations:
Pledge to donate an amount, get a premium based on the amount you donate. $10 gets
you a digital download of an album, $13 gets you an autographed CD, $16 gets you
free admission to one show on the tour, etc. Go to the website for all the details,
and then PLEASE help us bring this great music to great people! 3)
The weekend after, Solomon and I will be performing in Seattle on May 28
with Bria Skonberg at the Naval Armory Base, from 10pm to 1am. Bria, Solomon, and
I just recorded an album not too long ago called "The I-5 Drive". The
actual CD isn't quite out yet, it's being mastered and post-productioned and all
that other good stuff, but this will be your chance to hear us perform LIVE some
of the some selections from that album - and we'll also give you updates on when
the actual CD will be released 4) On May 30th, I'll be
with the group "Half Pack Live", also in Seattle. That's
gonna be cool - I'll give you more info as it comes in!! |
