Dear Fellows: Please find below, the schedule update. All things being equal, I have 40 shows booked or almost booked with another 10 to add before the end of the year. We may have some additional recording in December as well. I am working on Hawaii, Japan and Australia for January 2009 ... which shall largely be buoyed and bullwarked by the new album, the Woodstock 40th Anniversary commemorative tour and our long gestating USPG project. I am also planning on our recording the TOL follow-up ... making 2009 a VERY robust year ... not that we're goofing off now mind you. Our brother SLICK has determined he is unable to perform outside the United States from this point forward. Accordingly, JOHN FERENZIK will play guitar on the first leg in Europe, and JEFF PEVAR (PHIL LESH, CPR, CSN, RAY CHARLES to name a few!) will debut with us on the second leg. "THE PEEV" is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He is also the best player you'll ever meet and plays MANY stringed instruments. For a guy to be THAT nice and THAT good is ... well ... is NOT normal! Thomas Woodfill, (tour manager in training the past 3 years) has 'retired' - citing "the pressure of the job" as the reason. Maybe it was me? Nah - we all know what a gentle soul I am. Accordingly, I have brought Dave Lerner up from AAA to join the Big Club & assist us. I give him a week - LOL! See y'all soon ... ready or not here we come! Cheers - Michael |
