Look, I hope you like the album, but it's weird with friends. I hope I don't land in the friend rock category with you.

Anyhow, I'm trying to head east, hopefully October and November. Booking when you have no representation is a nightmare. Clubs don't answer e-mails usually. I've had good club shows and I'm doing my best to crack that nut, but I'm also totally into the house show circuit.

If you would like a house show, it doesn't cost you anything. I show up, you invite friends, and I sing the money right out of their wallets. Hopefully there are chairs for them to sit in.

I might be heading out with a friend from Hot Springs. We've got a van to sleep in, but would gladly take your floor. Molly comes with but the only thing I ask is that she stay near me during the show. If i'm solo, I've got a makeshift bed in the honda.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks.

will indiana be on your route again?

*If we haven't moved, then our place is a good place to crash, as we've discussed. Also, the guy I used to play with up here, who booked all our shows, moved to Colorado but we're still in touch regularly. I can ask him for Boston club contacts if it would help?




(* landlord is selling our place, I'm looking at relocating locally but failing that I am also looking at jobs everywhere from Portland to Berlin. Fuckall knows when we'll split, could be as late as May 2015 or as soon as next month.)

Jon, yeah... might try and do that Logan Street Sanctuary again. Want to double on the bill with me? They have a grand piano.

Kyle, any help all of the time... I needs it.

Email sent, I'll let you know what he says.

i don't know if i could have anything worked up by then, unless maybe you wanted me to back you on piano and BGVs for a song or two of yours. either way, i'll be around and at the show. i'll try to get some more people out.

Answers received. Tons of booking contacts, as well as band / singer-songwriter guys who play out locally that you might pair up with to split some shows. Massive PM coming.

Oh man, if you guys do work something out to play together...make sure someone records it and throws it up here - would love to hear that

on a related note, you should see about collecting some soundboard mixes from your various tour dates. compile all the best takes into a live-ish album when you're off for a bit, and have something else to sell on bandcamp or give away as a freebie to feed your burgeoning fan base.

Make it to Georgia, Derris and I will figure something out.

And by that I mean PARTY AT DRINKY'S HOUSE!

That's a hell yes.

TOTALLY agree - especially since Phil is an absolute MASTER of between song banter

yeah I don't book anymore but I'll make an exception...

wait what

Phil, if you need booking contacts here in Atlanta there is a slight possibility I may be able to help. My buddy plays shows around here at a few places from time to time.

Hell yes. Cue up "Ain't too proud to beg".

Phil, check your PMs.
