So I’ve decided to start using the tumblr account I created at the beginning of the year.  So much social networking going on out there, and I’m involved in a lot of them.  I figured I’d utilize this account to share more about my experiences on tour and life more in depth than I could or can on myspace, facebook, twitter, etc.  I think I’ll try  to add some more demos and music I won’t post on myspace as I do them on here as well.
This time on the road has been particularly adventurous.  I’m sure anyone that might read this knows we had some van trouble in Nevada last week.  It was quite an experience to say the least.. The pic is from the exact spot we broke down before we were towed 70 miles to nearest town, which was Winnemucca, NV.  All in all it was a really cool time to just slow down and think about the things that matter in life, like friends and family and music of course.  I really realized how cool it even was that I was able to be in Nevada… haha.   One of my favorite things about the 4 days we were stuck there was how much time  I had to write through the experience.   I ended up writing about 11 songs and am trying to decide on a creative way to release them at some point.   I’ll touch more on this tomorrow but am considering uploading one of the songs I worked on.  All of them are just rough live recordings with a background vocal on some.   I think when I’m home this fall I’ll re-record them and try to release an EP of some sort.  I have plans for another release towards the end of the year as well.  Just feeling out some ideas with those two things, but I’d love to hear some feedback:)
That’s it for today, I’ll be back tomorrow…. and maybe therell be a song if I get some feedback:)
