update & june tour dates announced! some help needed!
it's thursday! there are a few important things to talk about on the internet! right now my fella and the bunny (he is a new addition - his famously cutest picture lives here) are both sleeping because they both pulled all-nighters for different reasons & it is very quiet & sunny & time to stop procrastinating.
where did i leave off? oh, the RPM challenge. well, it's done. (important thing 1!) you can get that recording that i babbled about forever & ever (entitled cartography) HERE for a FREE download.
2! then i went on tour with christine lyons for 2 weeks in april. the thing about making a record & not having a real, tangible record is that people don't usually go to the effort to download things, so i started making little cards to hand out, hoping that this would remind them about the aforementioned free download. i would like to have my shit together more on that for the next tour but for now sharpie works.
tour, which we entitled COMFORT TOUR 09 after the first 4 days of amazing shows & homestays, was awesome. we ate such good food, stayed with such good people, played such fun places. good, good, & fun. pittsburgh, a little south, through the midwest. also it was warm. this fact alone beat win-tour by 8000. i missed joe's fiddle & joe's fix-sore-driving-arms-bodywork, but christine & i ended up playing on one another's sets here & there, & i got back into playing solo once more, plus i added audience-bands. this was a fun experiment. it may continue into the next tour, we'll see if there's room in the car. anyway, christine & i stopped recording our shows & started making improvisational, documentary travel songs wherever we were - gas stations, roadsides, in the car, in the venues. we entitled the band timothy blackberry (thank you, dude at our last show). there is an entire youtube channel of our chronicles that you can check out HERE. we also have photos from tour up in a flickr set HERE. it was a good way to start the spring.
then i came home, then i got sick, then i attempted to get healthy & concurrently worked & booked (& am still booking) the june tour.
3! OMG! THE JUNE TOUR!
i'm going on tour with two of my favorite people, joe arnold & emily hope price. joe will be my other musical half once again on this tour. he is magic in the form of a stringed instrument. EHP was my TA during my freshman year of college. sophomore year, she convinced me to play my own songs at a daytime concert series she had curated. this was a big deal at conservatory. it was like my non-classical coming out day. i owe her alot for that. she also co-wrote & played on 2 of the songs on my first real record, some kind of parade in 2005, & makes a gorgeous appearance on the nesting EP. she is one of my favorite lady friends ever & plays a mean, mean cello. she is, also, magic in the form of a stringed instrument. we are all going to have so much fun. it will be a packed car. full of stringed instruments.
the schedule still has some holes. roanoke VA, greensboro NC, & baltimore MD/DC are the most pressing. (if you have help - house shows, contacts, nice people who will let us sleep on their couches - please drop me a line at anna (at) theanna.com). but here is the line up as of yet!
6/1: philadelphia PA - the first unitarian chapel - 8PM, details on how to buy tickets soon! w/ emilyn brodsky
6/2: charlottesville VA - twisted branch tea bazaar - 8PM, w/ the flat iron string band
