Hello, All...

Thanks to everyone that came out during my recent run through the Midwest. The tour was capped off with a near-sellout crowd at Park West in Chicago opening for Toad the Wet Sprocket -- always good to see & hear Glen Phillips (nicest. guy. ever.).  We had an absolute blast and appreciate all the kindness shown to us by the audience, the folks at JAM Productions, and the PW staff.

On August 12th, I'll be making a television appearance on WTTW's "Chicago Tonight" show in support of my upcoming Schuba's "Practice Space" residency.

And in celebration of the upcoming Schuba's residency, Chicago artist Graham Ebetsch has created a limited edition show poster.  This fine work o' art will be available for purchase at the Schubas shows -- oooo, signed by yours truly! -- and numbered and signed by the talented Mr. Ebetsch, as well.  You can view the poster on my website to get a little preview.  Your walls are craving this graphic treat.

Be sure to visit www.dickprall.com regularly for new songs, tour updates, and general mayhem.  And don't forget to come out and say hello if I creep into your town.

All the best,
Dick
