Hi folks,

Writing from the lovely city of Vancouver, BC, where I'll be doing a show on Tuesday... Just got here from Vancouver Island where I had a great show in Victoria and a lovely weekend in Cumberland for this year's Miner's Memorial (google the name "Ginger Goodwin"). Before that I had a fine visit to Tennessee, including a couple days at The Farm – http://www.thefarm.org – a magical place to visit if you're passing through, go catch a show at the Dome...

Below are some announcements that will hopefully be of interest...

Sing Out for Single Payer Road Show

Anne Feeney is organizing a fantastic series of gala events involving many of my favorite artists and bands ever. It's a road show to bring attention to the need for universal health care in the US. She'll be traveling up the coast from southern California to northern Washington starting in the next few days. I'll be joining most of her stops in Oregon. To see more about who's joining the road show go to http://www.annefeeney.com and click on Sing Out for Single Payer. To just see the list of shows I'm participating in you can find those at http://www.davidrovics.com, along with a few other shows in Oregon and Washington I'll be doing coming right up.

Chris Chandler comes to Portland

I've been living in Portland for over two years now but I still hardly know anyone. I know I have lots of fans here I haven't met yet, of this much I'm convinced. If you know anybody in or near Portland, Oregon, please feel free to let them know I'll be doing a show with Chris Chandler at Mississippi Pizza on July 14th! I'll also be at Liberty Hall with the Cuba Caravanistas on July 5th...

Shows for kids

I had a really fun show for kids in London a few weeks ago, and I'll be doing another one coming right up on June 25th in Enumclaw, near Seattle, Washington. If anybody knows anyone with kids who live in or near Seattle, please send them on to my website and to the show!

Upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand

From July 21st through August 20th I'll be in Australia and New Zealand, and the tours are shaping up brilliantly. Most of the details are now on my website.

October tour of the midwestern US

Details about my October midwest tour with Anne Feeney are still coming together. Some great gigs are already planned for sure, but there is plenty of room for more in various spots in case anybody has any ideas...

November/December in Europe

From early November through mid-December I'll be in Europe, mainly Denmark and Norway, but also a brief visit to Belgium. In Denmark and Norway I'll be touring as a trio, which will definitely include the great Eric Royer on banjo. Details coming later... If anybody knows anyone who's organizing events around the climate talks in Copenhagen during the second week of December please feel free to put me in touch with them!
