Tonight is the last night of the Giant Giant Sand European tour. 6 fender twins guided us through the last two weeks. The amount of twang has been startling and uplifting. Now this train rolls to a halt. Tomorrow its on to Nantes, France for a week off before two weeks of French festivals with the gang.

Been back in Tucson for the last 3 weeks. The desert has been harsh n hard. Trees bent down by pummeling monsoons and rattle snakes flooded n displaced in car ports and back yards.
Lightning did this…
Now it’s back to Europe for a few weeks. Startin off with 2 weeks of playing in Giant Giant Sand…. all dates can be found floatin around here.
After that, it’s back to France with them French Cumbia Ambassadors for a run of festivals, Muscadet wine, and some psychedelic cheese. Those dates reside here.
And we must all remember the shadows and the magic that was Chavela Vargas…

Currently in Metz, France in the smokey and slightly smoked tobacco shop home of Thee Verduns. Taking a few minutes to wander the EU with tranquility and ease on the mind. A couple shows in France and some gypsy lessons in Cordoba and then it’s back on home to drag the rake over some new projects. See what comes…
The things we do to save a buck…..

On tour in Europe right now playing bass and guitar for Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkesta, Brian Lopez, Marianne Dissard, and Andrew Collberg. Yep. Playing 4 sets every night. It’s proving to be slightly mind bending.
Will be posting more summer dates soon… including some Giant Giant Sand Europe shows as well as some solo shows in France and Spain.

Currently in Mexico City playing some instruments with Mexican Institute of Sound. Check out the shows page for the festivals we are playing. It’s proving to be a wild and wonderful city with mystic wonders tucked in every weathered building.
