2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
A visit to a place we WILL play someday, Red Rocks Amphitheater! And a special surpriseโฆ Marianne missed the chance to take us to the Red Rocks amphitheater last year, due to our time constraints. So this year it was the ONLY action item on her agenda. And my oh my, it did NOT disappoint!...
2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
A joyful reunion and our countryโs (loud) birthday! Since we had a couple days before we needed to be in Durango, and 4th of July fell in the middle of the week, we decided to hunker down with my childhood friend! This is how it went: Day 6: Travel day to get to Marianne Brown...
2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
Because we rolled into Wyoming at almost 1:00 am on the morning of Friday the 30th, our plans to visit with our friends that evening were scrapped, and we opted for much-needed sleep instead. Randy was kind enough to greet us (and of course the DWC, or Dog Welcoming Committee, as well: Charlie, Sophie, and...
2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
A message to our fans and readers (and ourselves) It is OK to suck at stuff. We recently wrote a new tune about embracing the idea that you in no way need to be good at everything you do for it to bring you joy. I felt particularly moved to broach the subject in song,...
2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
Deja vuโฆ didnโt we JUST do this? It was actually much more difficult to leave for this tour than I anticipated. Typically, by early May, Jared and I have the road itch (not easily cured with a cream), and we are chomping at the bit to get our little โAmeliaโ (our Honda Pilot), outfitted and...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Thoughts on our last 52 daysโฆ I think we won. We did so much. We checked boxes, set goals and met them, failed and succeeded. Learned, thought and listened. And overall, I think we won.ย I have sat or stood next to my husband many times in the past couple months, sharing meals, doing crosswords,...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Saying goodbye to Nashville was much harder this time than it was five years ago. We had been planning the send off to begin with our last walk through our beautiful East side neighborhood to the very same Lipstick Lounge where Jared got to see the Star Wars Burlesque for his birthday. We had been...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
With our last gig on tour approaching, we decided to head into Alabama a day early and hang out with our friend who helped get us the gig at the Athens Ale House. Saunders knew that Athens, although small and perhaps not the most exciting town, had a few fun things to offer, so we...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
There are good nights of music. Then there are exceptional nights of music. Then, there are absolutely MAGIC nights of music. All apply here.ย This Thursday was our last chance to visit our favorite open mic at the Bowery Vault in East Nashville. It was the best way to bookend our trip for so many...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Photo shoot day!!!!!ย Our friendship with Barbara Potter began waaaaaaaay back in 2014 at the illustrious D.B. Cooper Music Festival, where Jared and I got wicked sunburns. Barb was there to photograph the bands Sweet Kiss Momma and Jessica Lynne Witty, and Barbara had on some super-rad pink boots that I spotted out of the...
