I hope this finds you all well and sun-tanned.

Things have been going great - had a killer show with JR Richards of Dishwalla in Ventura the week before last.  He and his crew were all such cool cats and their show was really strong.  Shout to Lex Land as well.

This last week has been full of West Cost debauchery in Las Vegas and a gory festive camping getaway. It's hard to believe that my July has only just begun!

I leave this Saturday for Atlanta, where I'll rendezvous with one Nathan Sexton to start our East Coast run.  This marks my first duo tour and I'm really excited at all of the sonic possibilities we've come up with.  Nathan can do it all and really adds a lot to the show.  Just a few minutes ago I learned that we'll perform at the New Music Seminar in NYC on the 21st, this will be particularly sexy...I will have more deets soon.  I know there will be a few tix for the public, but beloved NYC peeps, I want you at the Living Room! This is my birthday show - and we're gonna throw it DOWN. I want a full house!  From there we head up to Mass, Maine, CT, Pittsburgh to see my hometown crew, Philly to take Tin Angel, and on to Smith's in Atlanta.  There are a few more things in the works for this trip, so stay tuned.

In other news, I have a beautiful new record written, I'm just trying to find the time to get it tracked - I hope to by summer's end.  Hold me to that.

Also, I'm sneaking back to Holland in October - I have been invited to take part in Dutch Writer's Camp, I'm honored to be a part of it.  We'll most likely do a few shows. More on that soon...I will do a proper big European tour in the new year with the new record in tow.  Yes, I said RECORD.  I'm keeping the dream alive. 

For those of you Tweeters, I have been meaning to tell you - you can find me at twitter.com/shane_alexander

I'll let you know more info as soon as possible.

As always, thanks for all your kind comments and emails.

Warmest wishes,
