We’ll be back out there in a few weeks. We are heading South in search of robins and cherry blossoms and will be doing a handful of dates in; Tarrytown, NY; Sellersville, PA; Easton, MD and Alexandria, VA. If you are in the area make sure that you come out and say hello. We are also booking our summer shows and some of them are already on sale so keep an eye on the Tour page. We hope to see you soon.

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 some of you out there and if you can't make it please follow along on the tour diary that we will be posting as we move along. Check out the tour page to see if we are coming close to your front door…..Northampton here we come.
Summer is almost here….and we have a lot going on in the next few months:
Our Canadian Tour in support of John Mellencamp starts up in a little over a week and it will include some stops along the way where we will be playing our own shows (Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Parry Sound, Sherbrooke). We are also playing some shows with John in a couple of provinces where we have never performed (PEI and Newfoundland). In August we will be back on the road by ourselves in the North East of the USA. Check out the Tour Dates page for all the relevant info.
Amazon will continue to sell digital downloads of The Wilderness for $5 throughout the month of June (for USA customers only). Also, we continue to sell our five album box set of The Nomad Series for just $25.
The Nomad Series book is about to go to the printer, which means that we should have it in hand by mid-summer at the latest. We will be mailing it out to our Clubhouse Subscribers as soon as we get it, but in the meantime, if you are not a Clubhouse member, this is your final chance to join. We have extended the Clubhouse term to January 1, 2013. With the subscription you get all of the digital content on our website (many hundreds of recordings) as well as The Nomad Series book. The book is going to be quite special: it’s a 140 page full colour, coffee table art book, bound in a linen hard cover and it will contain cds of the four volumes of The Nomad Series. It is designed by our friend Enrique Martinez Celaya who also did the artwork for The Nomad Series. It will be a very limited edition and when they are gone, they are gone. So you can guarantee that you will receive a copy by joining The Clubhouse. You can check out all the details about The Clubhouse Subscription here.
The Tour Diary will be starting up again next week, so be sure to check back frequently to see how our adventure on the road are coming along.
In case you missed it the first time…here is a live performance on CBC Drive of me, Margo and Jeff performing Fairytale from The Wilderness, enjoy:

If you live west of the Mississippi (or are planning to be in the West in the coming few weeks) make sure that you check out our tour schedule. We are doing a bunch of dates with Son Volt as a co-bill. It should make for an excellent night of music. If you can’t be there in person then follow along by checking back to this page every few days. I’ll try and keep it updated with photos and incoherent ramblings.
