A quick update:

Anyone who follows me knows most of my solo energy has morphed into the project I've been doing with Alison Levy, McCabe and Mrs. Miller. In addition, I've been spending a lot of time on the first Monks of Doom studio recording of new material since 1993, as well as playing rhythm guitar from time to time for the great and legendary Gary Floyd (of the Dicks/Sister Double Happiness), which has been both an honor and real fun.

Still, I am striking out on my own from time to time, and have a great solo show coming up at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley on July 24th. It's going to be a retrospective evening, half acoustic, half electric featuring songs from the last ten years plus of work that I've done. I have some great special guests coming to sit in, so if you're looking for a show featuring some pretty astounding musicianship, I'd recommend this one.

Camper hits the road for a couple of weeks in August, and the Camp Out enters year six. Check out the upcoming shows below.

As for new recordings, expect the Monks late this year or early 2011. McCabe and Mrs. Miller should have a new recording sometime next year as well, and I'm seriously contemplating gathering a bunch of my best blues playing friends and trying to record a bunch of good blues over the course of a day or two that I'll post here for download. If the money holds out, I'll get it done sooner than later.

And, seeing as the world situation seems more than a little perilous these days, if I don't manage to pull all of this off, well, something came up.

Thanks for checking in, I promise it won't take me so long to update next time.
