BIG NEWS out of the Heartland today: I will be playing the HARVEST THE HOPE concert on September 27th in Neligh, NE! The concert is a benefit for the ongoing fight against the Keystone XL pipeline and its proposed route through farms and tribal lands in NE. The headliners are — holy s**t — NEIL YOUNG & WILLIE NELSON.  Unreal. Totally unreal.  I am so honored to be a part of this.

Also in the Heartland this fall, I will be opening up for another of my all-time favorite bands, REIGNING SOUND. They’re touring their new album, “Shattered,” out on Merge Records. I had a chance to see Greg Cartwright solo here in Nashville recently, and I can’t wait to hear the whole band for the first time. The show is on Thursday, October 30th at the Mill in Iowa City. Also playing: Spider Bags.

I’ll probably quit music forever after these two shows, since there’s nowhere to go from here but down. Catch me while you can!
