Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. There is not enough coffee in the world to compensate for the inevitable exhaustion of sleeping in an RV on a vaguely moist bed that feels like it's made of foam rubber wrapped in pleather, partly while driving over rugged Missouri roads, after seven two-hour shows in eight days. I have to eat extremely consciously to try and stay healthy, and that is damn near impossibl...

Howdy y'all,
One of the major lessons I've learned and internalized over the past week is to play that Nat King Cole song in my head now and again. That whole "smile, though your he...
2024-10-14 18:58:07 +0000 UTC View PostGoing into my show last night, I was exhausted. The night before, my humidifier had broken in the RV and so I'd had to sleep on a sopping wet bed in an uncomfortably warm hutch of sorts, and then had to try and catch up on the resulting missing sleep while being tossed around the back of a moving vehicle. My head hit the ceiling at one point.
I was so visibly exhausted that my TM and book...

Hey everyone! Before I share my thoughts on last night's show, I want to let you know that this month we'll be doing the livestream Q&A differently than usual. I won't be able to make it happen tomorrow the way I normally would, so we'll be doing it Monday instead, and at 8:30pm EST. Sorry for the change and late timing, it's just the only time I can make it happen with the tour schedule be...
2024-10-12 17:42:44 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy folks!
Last night was a hell of a learning experience, although don't take that as me suggesting it wasn't an amazing time. It was a very real challenge though, and it taught me a lot about what I'm doing and how to do it.
I've been playing at Stone Church for many years now, and it's always been one of my favorite places to play. They believed in me long before anyone else, ...
2024-10-11 18:39:20 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning, Cliff.
Last night was my first show on the Slouching Towards Bethlehem Tour, and therefore my first performance of my show "Slouching Towards Branson," and therefore technically my first real concert in over two years. (If you can call this show a concert, I don't know.) It was at the Sherman Showcase in Stroudsburg PA, which when seated only fits about 80 audience members. ...
2024-10-10 16:19:11 +0000 UTC View PostInsert rant about coffee here.
I leave for tour on Wednesday. Tomorrow I'll be picking up my crew at Newark International Airport and bringing them down to the pine barrens to load up the RV/trailer with the equipment, merch, supplies, etc. They'll crash on the property in the RV, and the next day we'll slouch towards Stroudsburg.
I got my entire stock of vinyls/CDs/tapes from Say-...

The second dress rehearsal is on Sunday, and since I opened up a few more slots and we're down to the wire, I figured I'd open the invitation back up to everyone in the top tiers, including folks who came to the first one.
Tickets are here: https://shorturl.at/RFF9a
Figured I'd mention, it might be ...

Tonight is the first rehearsal for the Slouching Towards Bethlehem show, which I have playfully dubbed "Slouching Towards Branson."
A test audience of Patreon members will be coming together at Backroom Studios in New Jersey, and I'll be doing the show (to the best of my ability) for them and using the experience to fine tune what I have prepared. If you've got a ticket...

My brain feels a little slow today, I suppose it does most days. There's always a brain fog I'm wrestling against. Those of you who have been around here long enough to remember my old blog may remember me ranting and raving at the beginning of every entry about...

Real quick - It's been brought to my attention that leaking is indeed still a thing around here, so I'm going to be making some slight changes. Since I can't trust some members to not publish paid things for free or to not publish things I...

In order to prepare for the Slouching Towards Bethlehem tour, I'm going to be doing a couple dress rehearsals of sorts at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, NJ, which is where I've recorded most of my stuff.
