Hey Folks!
Home from tour and getting back in the hometown swing. It was a really fun and uplifting tour. Thanks to all of you who came out to the shows, danced and sang along.
I forward to seeing what the fall and winter brings. We have a few shows with the Arkells in November but in the meantime I’m going to do some songwriting and plan some more Window Inn sessions for the coming months. I had the thought it might be fun to make a few videos where I could feature some of my favourite guitars, tell you about where and why I got the them and play a song on it. I love unusual old instruments that have a really distinct sound, like the old Regal Serenador guitar that Absentminded Melody was recorded on. If a little series like this might interest any of you let me know as I’m not sure how many folks here are guitar nerds like me.
I’m also planning an hour long livestream Q & A for subscribers some weekday evening in the next month. I’d be happy to talk songwriting, production and music with any of you who’d like to tune in and I‘ll have my guitar handy so I can sing a song or two if the occasion calls for it. Stay tuned for the date and details.
In the meantime I’m going to post a couple of the other soundcheck requests that I was too busy to post in the homestretch of the tour. Here’s Happen Now in London.
Lastly, I’ve noticed some new subscribers over the last few weeks - thanks again to all of you for the support over here. The response to the Window Inn Sessions you helped make happen have been great. I loved listening nightly on this tour to Mo sing their version of True Patriot Love and playing drums while Dave sang What I Like About Charles from the piano.
Always love hearing what connects and I look forward to bringing some more music to you over the coming months.
Joel
