This weekend Shantel Bolks will be performing in the Singer Songwriting Contest during Dylan days Celebration in Bob’s Hometown of Hibbing, MN. If you are in the area we can talk and ask Shantel she will give you a free CD if you tell her you heard about the show here. http://shantelbolks.com

Her new album Drifter is a great listen….try it on for size. And send me some feedback I will get the comments to her.

Touring like Junkies

Cowboy Junkies start the first leg of the 2010 tour season, the band seems to go out every spring and our luck has it that they will start in our home state of Michigan, in Saugatuck. Which lies on the beautiful west coast line of Michgan. A little early for spring flowers, but this is the week leading up to the official start of my favorite season.

We(Kathleen and I) wil be staying in Saigatuck for the weekend at a nice cabin on the shores. Very excited to meet up with some Llamas never met before. (Llamas are what we fans of CJ that travel outside ones own state to see them perform call ourselves, not sure the origin of this tag) We are bringing fresh coffee to brew and take to the gate for a sort of tailgate before the doors open.

The Nomad road start in Michigan.

We will also travel later in the spring to Great Barrington, MA. to see another show. So for now I will get the coffeehouse ready for our departure and try to stay focused on preparations.

New Songs Thursday……………….and more from my travel log
