In The Studio

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:27:00 GMT

It's been a little while since we last visited. I took a vacation from my social obligations to write songs and before I knew it I had a batch that was new and intriguing and best of all connected to each other. I have missed you though while I have...

New York Last Show

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:38:00 GMT

I am about to walk on stage to play the last of our NY shows and it is starting to dawn on me that this tour is only a moment from over. I have to tell you frankly that I have never had a finer tour than this one. There are so many reasons. To...

Philly

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:25:00 GMT

As you may know, Philadelphia has been one of my favoriteplaces to play in the wide world. The show was at the Electric Factory, one of my personal favorite venuesfor shows. We had two nightsthere, so I knew I would be in for much fun. The first...

Atlantic City, NJ

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:01:00 GMT

I don't know about you, but I came out ahead in AC. It may be that I never made it to the tables, but it may be because I had a windfall of a show. I was invited out on stage not only by John Ralston, who has invited me on stage many times in our...

Worcester

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:58:00 GMT

The good old Palladium in Worcester, MA. I love this place. I have been playing in this room from the very beginning of my career. I opened for NFG in the small attic part of the room, opened for Face to Face in the main room, and had maybe ten of my...

Farmingdale, Long Island

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:05:00 GMT

In the beginning of my touring career in Dashboard, I spentmuch of my time in Long Island and New Jersey. Many of the bands that I toured so much with then were fromthe tri-state area. These bands,like The Movielife, Midtown, Saves The Day, and Hot...

New York

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:00:00 GMT

The first two of the three New York shows were exactly whatI had hoped for them to be. I haddecided when I put this tour together to place the New York shows in some verysmall rooms, and to do three of them. Last year our shows were in huge rooms...

Columbus

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:20:00 GMT

Columbus was a real blast! Old school! Oneof those shows where I left feeling like I did when I first started all thisnonsense. This statement amountsto the best compliment thatI could pay to an audience. Those days were filled with an...

A Few Questions for the Reader

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:36:00 GMT

Ok, I have real things that keep me up at night, but these are the things that I ponder to keep myself distracted at 4:45 am. Has anyone else noticed that Alyssa Milano is still like the hottest girl in the world? Has anyone noticed that Ben Foster may...

Seattle, Salt Lake & Denver

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 21:20:00 GMT

Hi Guys, Sorry for the delay, the Internet is sometimes elusive when traveling the way we do. So lets begin where we left off. Seattle was nothing short of a love fest!! Old friends were in attendance, old tour mates were on hand for good story...

Portland

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:02:00 GMT

This was the type of show that this tour was designed for. A tiny room set up like the good old VFW halls that we came up playing in (once we'd graduated from the basements). It is the kind of room that causes you to sweat before you have played...

San Francisco

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 22:49:00 GMT

Last night we played at the historic Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. The show was fabulous. I had been getting a lot of emails on our site and our Myspace since the show was announced. I should have known that it was going to be a special show. The...

I have found Serenity!

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:06:00 GMT

I am watching "Serenity" for the umpteenth time and I have to tell you that this is the most under rated bit of science fiction ever made. It's the movie follow up to the short-lived Joss Whedon television series "Firefly". "Serenity", which takes it's...

San Diego

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 03:22:00 GMT

I have literally just walked off stage from the San Diego show. The room was this old converted 60's movie theatre and there was VIBE! What a great place to go and see an audience. When we play Southern California the thing I notice first is that that...

Tempe

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:37:00 GMT

Wild. This show was one of my favorites of all time. I never ever know what to expect from shows. I have found it is always better to lay any expectations to the side. I wouldn't say that if I had let myself speculate that I would have had high enough...

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 06:09:00 GMT

From the outset this show was a wild one. The room was jam-packed! It was the biggest and the loudest singing crowd of the tour yet. It could have been the sheer numbers or the physical configuration of the room, but the crowd sounded like an arena crowd...

The Russian

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:10:00 GMT

I grew up in CT in an apartment complex that was housed almost entirely by families of Russian immigrants. The first good friends that I made were all Russian. My first fight was with a Russian bully. My first kiss was with a Russian girl (the bully's...

Orlando Blog 2

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 23:04:00 GMT

Orlando night two was great. The crew at the House of Blues in Orlando is the greatest (thanks again Scott!). We played some deep cuts there. The highlights for me were playing "The Shade Of Poison Trees" for the first time live. The audience was fun, but...

Hi, Here is a short and under-detailed recap of our tour so far. Every night the shows have blown my mind off. You guys seem as if you are trying to out sing, out spirit each other from night to night. So here is how things have been unfolding. On...

Hi guys, I am in Atlanta in a weird purple dressing room with no windows. From here it is nearly impossible to tell what a big day this is for us. That in and of itself is a good analogy of this whole year for my band mates and I. Locked in a room, not...
