The BEAT Tour is streaming along (though sadly, we missed one show, in Reno, because of terrible weather.)
More videos of songs from my “Beyond the Bass Clef” album. Just put up a new one: Espressoville
There’s also the vocal piece using the names of drummers: On The Drums
And, with Westies playing the bass, there’s Bringing It Down to the Bass
Excited about Nov 29th, Record Store Day Black Friday, when stores will have the special edition double LP of my album (and I’ll be appearing at Restless Records on Milwaukee Ave in Chicago, to sign a few.) And the blu-ray version just came out - happy to have that with the Dolby Atmos mixes and more.
Still 20 or so more shows on the BEAT Tour, so I’ll be, as usual, working on the Road Diary with my photos every day.
Lots going on. My new album, “Bringing It Down to the Bass” will be released Sept 13 (CD, Blu-Ray & streaming) with a special vinyl package coming later in the year.
The first track is out now on BandCamp and many streaming outlets.
The Beat Tour is almost underway - Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Danny Carey and myself playing King Crimson music of the 80’s. We’re in Los Angeles rehearsing, with the first show on Sept 12th, not too far off.
I’ll get the Road Diary started soon, and will have update diaries and photos from rehearsals and from the shows.
Lots is in the works this month. Stick Men’s tour starts in Minneapolis in a couple of days, goes right up to our yearly 3 of a Perfect Pair Camp. Soon after that I’ll head out to rehearse for the September BEAT TOUR, and simultaneous to that, on Sept 12th, I’ll release my new album, Bringing It Down to the Bass. Ten years in the making, and I’ll have lots more to say about it in the coming months.
On a short break from Stick Men tour legs - headed to Chile, Bolivia, Argentina next, then in February we’ll continue touring the U.S. with a West Coast leg. The booked shows are on my “Tour Dates” page.
Lots coming up later in 2023, but… not ready to publicize yet.
I’ve been paying more attention to my YouTube channel, and on the left of this page you’ll see a red button with arrow, that does a little dance, then links to my channel - some neat stuff there.
I haven’t done road diaries in a bit, simply because touring with Stick Men and Levin Brothers doesn’t leave me enough time each night to process the photos. But I’m going to get back to it on these next tour legs (and I’ll catch up on sleep in March!)
