Jeepers creepers, buddy, it's been nearly a year since my last blog post!
Here's the latest:
Country-music cousin Jonny Fritz, from Nashville, is in town for a week of gigs with myself, The Best Westerns, Caroline Keys and Jeff Turman. We just returned from playing the Yaak Wilderness Festival--a five-hour drive north of Missoula. 2014 is the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. I dig the wretched wild-country and wish to preserve it infinitely. My song "Horse Graveyard" was a hit given it's commentary on the state of things.
After the Fest Jonny and I were invited to stay at the remote cabin of wilderness author Rick Bass. Instead we opted to return south so we could float the Flathead River early the next day with Hana and our Olympia friends, Zena and Amy, who are passing through on the tail end of their honeymoon.
Jonny and I arrived at Grammy Deb's chicken farm at 2am and covertly crashed in her bunkhouse. Eight hours later, after a hearty brunch, we all floated. Jonny swims like a fish and runs like a wolf if you didn't know. There's more to this story, but I'll leave it at that.
Stevie, by the way, is now two-and-a-half-years-old. I'll post a picture soon.
The rest of my week is filled with shows and adventure. I've attached a winning poster made by my pal Matthew LaRubbio. It lists upcoming tour stops.

I'm now out the door to take Jonny to a barbecue at Shooting Star Saddlery.
