Hey Everybody,
Spring, 2026. I suppose there is a lot I could write, which means there is a lot I will end up not writing, haha. Enjoyed playing the Aster Cafe on Friday, April 10th, with the new Adaptors line-up of me, Marc, Corey and Gavin Haskin on mandolin! This was, I think, the 3rd or 4th time we've played a show with this line-up, and it went really well. I debuted 3 new songs- "I Wish I Knew You When", "Mona, Won't You Come Around" and "Shovels & Brooms"- and played a couple others- "Birthday", "Heretic"- for only the second or third time. It was a cool nite!
I feel very lucky with the rotation we've been playing lately- 318 Cafe, Aster Cafe, and metroNOME Brewerey. They are all great rooms and I feel privileged to be playing them on a fairly regular basis.
On a personal level, some tough times lately on the homefront as Laura has been struggling a bit. At the same time, we are excited as Jonathan is set to graduate from Indiana University on May 9th with a degree in Journalism. He will then head off to a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean- Tuvalu- and Jakarta to report on the effect of climate change. He will live on the proceeds of a grant he wrote and was awarded. Cool stuff, we are super proud of / happy for him.
As for me, I am itching to record my next record. I have written and performed a bunch of "new" songs since releasing "Ghost" in 2022. More to come...
Happy Spring, Folks!!
Bob
