I don't know, I kinda like it

So torch never really died for me. It was dead the whole time. So evidently no one likes Lana Del Rey but I think she is the real deal. Except maybe her lips.

Strait George

Hi everybody

So here we are in the last year of time, and I thought it would be a good idea to finally pursue my long-time dream of creating a George Strait homage band.

It is going to happen.

Starting Jan 25, every Wednesday Strait George will be performing at Boone's Tavern in Denver, down by DU. Go Pios! When King G finds out about this cover band it will only be a matter of time before he covers my material, out of common courtesy

Sitting in with Jonny B

I am sitting in on the harp with my old pal Jon Boland. If you are in Ft. Collins come by; this bar looks awesome and Jon is going to drop some new songs. He is pretty amazing: a Ray LaMontagne-meets-Steve Earle thing going. I am looking forward to his new CD

I am totally going to do this

I had this idea years ago, but never forced myself to do it. Am I weird for thinking it is cool to only eat meat you personally slaughter? It seems so much more legit than relying on factory farms to produce your meat. Oddly I now own a freezer chest so maybe it's time got into this.

Last minute show details!

OK I know I haven't posted in a while, but this is critical. My band is playing at the Walnut Room in Denver on Saturday night at 7. We are opening for Casey James Prestwood and Angie Stevens. We will be basically crushing it and if you come you will have your mind blown. OK more later!
