After 9 weeks, I Made It Home In One Piece!

Hey Everyone!

Well, I dodged tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and interpersonal problems on this 9 week tour of the USA, but I made it home to San Diego, safe and sound and in one piece. I am truly grateful to everyone who came out to hear me play or supported me in any way on this tour. As I wrote in my previous message, I sold out of almost all my merchandise; just 3 books, a few mismatch sized shirts are all I have left. I sold out of ALL of my new album, but you can still order in online or listen to it on Spotify here or any of your favorite music listening sites, such as iTunes, etc.. You can order my book online here: http://a.co/7Ptklzl

 

It was a very successful tour. So successful that I came home with enough money to pay my rent, which is not always the case. I think I saved a ton of money driving my Toyota Prius because it gets 50 MPG, which is important considering I drove 10,000 miles!!! Also, I booked a ton of shows,. I played almost everyday for 9 weeks. And then there's the whole saving money factor. I tell people all the time "being an artist is not always about making MORE money, it's about looking at your spending habits and seeing what you can SPEND LESS on". Thanks to everyone who let me stay at their house while I was on the trip. I saved a bunch of money not having to rent hotel rooms; I only stayed at 2 hotels the entire 9 weeks!

Anyways, too much to tell about the entire trip now. Just wanted to let you know I'm back safe in San Diego. I'll be spending the winter here before heading back out on the road next year.

Until next time, thanks for listening :)

PS The 1000 mile drive from Missoula Montana to Geyserville, CA is one of the most beautiful and desolate drives I have ever done. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from civilization for a few days.
