Tour Diary – Charlotte, NC (March 7, 2013)
I awoke today to the news that Stompin’ Tom Connors had died. Most of you (anyone who isn’t Canadian) probably wouldn’t know who Stompin’ Tom was: he was an original. He made his mark as a folk singer, in the true sense of the term, he wrote songs about the people and for the people. […]
Tour Diary – Franklin TN (March 6, 2013)
Sometimes when you sketch out a tour you have a couple of outliers that don’t quite fit in to the routing. You assess the offer and sometimes confirm it with the hope that something will come along that will tie all the travel together. The gig in Franklin was just such a gig, unfortunately, this […]
Tour Diary – Norfolk, CT (March 4, 2013)
Norfolk is tucked away in the Northwest corner of Connecticut. It`s a beautiful area which reminds me more of West Virginia than New England: hills and swales, tors and valleys. This countryside has an “ancient“ feel to it, one gets the sense that far more history has happened here than has been recorded, a forgotten […]
Tour Diary – Westhampton Beach (March 3, 2013)
It was a perfectly relaxing Sunday in a sleepy little seaside town. Cold, clear and sunny. Main Street was deserted for most of the day. We found a diner, Egert’s, that served a very good breakfast and has been run by the same family for three generations…excellent home fries. I found a New York Sunday […]
Tour Diary – Albany, NY (March 2, 2013)
We slept last night in the Northampton Quality Inn parking lot and this morning made our way to Albany and The Egg. There are very strict rules about playing The Egg, because the theatre is mounted (yes, mounted) on top of a government plaza. The entrance to the loading bays which are underneath the plaza […]
Tour Diary – Northampton, Mass (March 1, 2013)
This was our first full-on load out from our new studio (The Hangar). Out the back door, in to a van and then a short drive across the street to our bus and trailer waiting in the parking lot. It should have been fairly straight forward, except the van never showed up. Just as we […]
On The Road Again…
We head out tonight for a 2 1/2 week run through parts of the North and South East. We have lots of songs from The Nomad Series in our repetoire as well as dozens from our catalogue (including the entirety of Black Eyed Man and, of course, The Trinity Session). We hope that we see […]

You can now check out the interview and video performance that Margo, Jeff and I did for the BBC program "Another Country" while we were in Glasgow last month. It will only be available for your viewing pleasure for another seven days.
Alaska trip
In September we are teaming up again with our pals at Roots On The Rails (the same group who put together our train trip across Canada a few years ago). This time we are heading to Alaska, where we'll be journeying through the mind-bending beauty of Denali Park…and you can join us if you have […]
