The next year and a half

It's kinda crazy when I look ahead and see how the next 17 months will play out. Here's the agenda at the moment:

August 2009 - April 2010 - Write and record my third album (While still playing shows and promoting "Deepening")
October 2009 - Release a song to radio
October 2009 - March 2010 - Plan for Spring Tour
May 2010 - June 2010 - Canadian Tour
July 2010 - August 2010 - Festival Season
August 2010 - September 2010 - Possible trip to Europe
September 2010 - Release third CD
September 2010 - December 2010 - Tour new CD

There are about 1,000,000 more details in there obviously, but thats pretty much the outline!

Folk Fest Education

Just spent the weekend at the Winnipeg Folk Fest playing, listening and learning about music. I've been playing for 13 years and when I am amongst some of the best in the world like I was this weekend I realize how much I have yet to learn. Thank you Oka, Vance Gilbert, Dala and Dust Poets for teaching me some new tricks. I will be using your music to inspire the next few months of writing.

If you can't beat em...

I have been married to a blogger for a few years now and every once and a while I will go to her blog enjoy the read and then surf around to view some of our family and friends blogs, so I thought maybe it's time I started my own. 

"The Road From Here" is going to be a place where I can take you along for the ride on my journey to my next album. I released "Deepening" my second album a few months ago and am still doing a lot of work promoting that disc, but I have a lot of plans already for the next album.

The only detail I have at this point is I hope it will be out fall 2010. The first thing on the agenda is to write some of the best songs I've ever written. So here we go. I'll keep you in the loop! 

I hope you'll join me.
