Howdy folks,
I just finished recording a new album of my songs with the Felice Brothers in an upstate NY chicken coop they gracefully converted into a studio. It’s got some great guest musicians including them and other friends of mine like Jolie Holland and Sam Parton singing, a dirtbag boys choir, horns, keys, drums, strings of all sizes and function, some usual suspects, and a good collection of songs if I can say so myself!?! I hope to have it out later this year!!

-Meanwhile-

I’m on the road playing Banjo/Dobro with Old Crow Medicine Show again this year and it’s been a great one so far! This month we’re hitting the Southeast with the Felice Brothers opening the shows from Tennessee to Florida to New Orleans & back.
I’m also really looking forward to our Australia and New Zealand tour in March! I’m going to take a holiday down there for a few weeks afterwards, mostly in New Zealand. If there’s any New Zealanders or Aussies out there with info on must see’s and do’s please let me know!
