That right there is the farm outside of Madison, WI where my Dad grew up, and, subsequently, I grew up. No, we didn’t work it anymore by the time I came around, rented the land out to a neighboring farmer, but it provided a pretty great playground and learning space, that is for sure.
I’m leaving on a plane to Chicago early this morning to start the Spring Tour, and couldn’t be more excited to get back to the heartland/homeland. Lots of Wisconsin love this time around, with a couple of dates in Chicago and Minneapolis, as well. Two of the shows are at non-traditional venues, but don’t let that deter you. Tonight in Chicago it’ll be a listening party at a recording studio, but just head to the address listed on the calendar page at the right time and you’ll be just fine. Similarly, the show in Black River Falls, WI is a house concert, but email Bob (his contact info is listed with the show on the calendar page) and you’ll be in.
Can’t wait to see you again in spring time, Wisconsin! Here are the dates:
* Tuesday, April 2 – Rattlesnake Studio, Chicago, IL
* Wednesday, April 3 – Linneman’s Riverwest Inn, Milwaukee, WI
* Thursday, April 4 – High Noon Saloon, Madison, WI (opening for Ellis Paul)
* Friday, April 5 – Kavarna, Green Bay, WI
* Saturday, April 6 – The Hollow Light Lounge (House Show), Black River Falls, WI
* Sunday, April 7 – Aster Cafe, Minneapolis, MN
