Now that the new album is out and into the world, I have to keep moving and working on things.  My current projects include a collaboration on some folky/protesty/angry lyrics with Ethan Fogus, a local tunesmith and recent thesis defender at the University of South Carolina, along with finishing up some tracks for an upcoming Interruptions of the Mind EP.  I was also instantly inspired by a recent NPR story from a border agent and wrote 5 instrumental pieces I’ve titled The Border that I’ll be working on over the Spring/Summer.

My next show will be a Waylon Jennings tribute night at the Main Street Public House on Thursday, June 15th.  I’ll be playing a few Waylon tunes along with Hardtack, Whiskey Tango Revue and many others.

Thanks to all that came out to the NBT show in Columbia with Cory Branan and thanks to the Free Times for the words on Love in the City.

I’ll be filming a Papa Jazz session with Scene SC this Sunday.  They’ve done some great work, with this being one of my favorites:  Susto Live at Papa Jazz.

I’ll also be doing a live radio performance with WXRY around 8pm Sunday.  You can listen HERE.

The new band will be playing our first show April 29 at the New Brookland Tavern in West Columbia on April 29, supporting Cory Branan.  Did I mention it’s April 29?  I booked Cory’s first show in Columbia at the Whig years ago, and he’s been coming back around ever since, and we’re stoked to be playing with him…on April 29.

Finally, text “resist” to 50409 to fax your House and Senate representatives what’s on your mind.  I’ve been doing it daily since I found out about the service.

 

 

 

Had a recent chat with Ethan over at the Sound Connector.  You can read the interview at his website here or the No Depression website here.
