Hello friends, I’m sorry to you and to my patient web developer Lisa Jacobi (of the band Playing on the Planet) for taking so long to write an update. What was going to be a relatively laid back couple of weeks in Nashville became very busy, as we went into the studio to work on some new material.
Things went really well in the studio. I’m not at liberty to discuss the details, but we recorded a new song that will be unlike anything we’ve done before (though it’s something we currently perform on stage). Sierra Hull, Claire Lynch and The Infamous Stringdusters‘ Jeremy Garrett joined us as guests.
I just arrived back in Alberta, where I’ll be for a few days before my wife Sally and I embark on our first ever duo tour of Europe. It will be a short tour (dates will be posted soon), and we’ve even given our daughter a week off of school to come along (we’ll see if we can make up for the lost school time by teaching her a new language — then she can teach it back to us!)
I’ll return to Nashville later in the month as we get the really busy touring season underway with a stop at one of our favorite events, The Appalachian Uprising, in Scottown, OH (see tour dates page.)
If you’re the social media type (i.e., if you waste time like the rest of us), don’t forget to link to my Facebook and Twitter pages from here
So long for now. Studio action shot below.
