An interesting bunch of gigs of late. I loved going to India for my first, and certainly not last time. Gig in Bangalore with a visit to Kochi beforehand. A month long Off Broadway run of a new show called One Thousand Nights and One Day, music by Marisa Michelson and musical directoring by Kurt Crowley, on loan from Hamilton. An amazing month of touring with Hazmat Modine in Europe. 24 gigs in 27 days in Germany, Austria, Holland and Paris.

Back from European Tour with Hazmat Modine
Returned from European tour. We did 25 gigs in 27 days. Started in Lithuania, and performed in Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and ended in Portugal. A tough schedule but played for a lot of happy fans and were treated well throughout.

Sitting in with Gov't Mule at Central Park's Summerstage
Enjoyed playing a couple of songs with Gov't Mule at Central Park's SummerStage. Generous and profoundly rocking band. Always excellent to play with my dear old friend Danny Louis who never plays with less than complete passion and taste.
