Sweetheart(s) of the Toureo☟
Having trouble finding the words to describe how grateful I am to every musician, promoter, DJ, friend, family member, audience member, host, sound person, pa wrangler, venue, photographer, etc. that made our recent west coast tour a huge success. Being on the road is quite a feeling, and you all took real good care of us. Certified sweethearts of the toureo. We appreciate you to the utmost degree.
Fall Shows - Just Announced☟
We’re right back at it in September with two shows here in the PNW. First up is September 9th at Trout Lake Hall in Trout Lake, Washington with Cosmic Gnarly, Portland’s premiere Grateful Dead covers group led by my close friend and drummer Dana Buoy. After that we co-headline an all local bill at Mississippi Studios here in Portland with Shady Cove and Ryan Oxford. Tickets for both shows are on sale now.

Plenty of chances to catch me on the 1s and 2s over the next couple of months. If you’re heading out to Pickathon this weekend I’ll be spinning records on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. Check out my full scheduled here + please be sure to come say hello. Artwork by Sophie Sachar.
