Hey there everybody… I got back from the Outlaw Country Cruise a few days ago and I’m still recovering! Whew! 6 days of non-stop music and mayhem… with a few beaches and fun snorkeling trips thrown in. It was amazing! Too many incredible shows to mention them all but I did get to meet several of my fave musicians including Sunny Sweeney (love her radio show. And the girl knows how to take a good selfie!), Jesse Dayton
(photo bombed a shot with him and my friend and roomie, Teri.), and
Rosie Flores & her awesome band! Had some serious flashbacks of college with shows by The Beat Farmers, Dash Rip Rock and an appearance with Mojo Nixon(miss him so much!)’s band by Jello Biafra. It was wild, y’all! Old Crow Medicine Show was spectacular… and Jerry Douglas and his phenomenal upright bassist, Daniel Kimbro, were hilarious and mind-blowing. But the “coolest dude ever” prize goes to Dave Alvin.
I LOVE him! The deep voice, the superb guitar playing… he’s the best. Of course, it was great seeing my songwriting hero, Lucinda Williams. And John Hiatt was fantastic! OK… that’s enough! I know I left out so much – and I didn’t even mention the super cool fellow cruisers I met from all over the world! Love y’all! And keep in touch. If you didn’t make it on the boat this time, check out Sixthman.net. They have a bunch of music cruises with great lineups. Oh yeah… I have a few gigs this weekend. Click HERE for my schedule – and I’ll send a reminder tomorrow. See y’all soon!
Peace, KP
