TOUR

I’m trying to do a better job of interacting with you. I’m trying to make it easier for people to find out about my music and shows. I don’t have a whole lot to report at this juncture except that there should be a new Spoonboy record out this summer. OK. Over and out,

Spoonboy

Dear the internet,

Just about finished with this seven week tour thing I did in Europe! I went to a lot of countries. 13 to be exact: Ireland, England, France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Kristania, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Italy, and the Vatican. I’m still catching up on my tour diary which you can follow here.

I’ll be home this weekend and I’m playing some shows in DC, Baltimore, and Frederick, by myself and with Max Levine Ensemble in the next couple weeks. And if you haven’t noticed I’m working on a more presentable website. Hope you like it! Thanks Welch!

Inconcluscion…
