November 2021: Bike Tour, a Show on the Road
Post Originally published November 10, 2021
Packing cargo bikes with instruments and gear for 9 days of shows in the San Francisco Bay Area with a four piece fantabulous band! The "skip the traffic" Planet I'm From album release tour. 300 miles in the saddle. Featuring Jeremy Elliot (Telecaster), Aaron Moore (Bass), Aaron Guest (Keyboards), and the wonderful poet Emilie Lygren opening a few of the nights. Can it be done?!

I asked him the car question (above) and it was an incredible framework for a life story. Highly recommend.
