Tomorrow night, Tuesday April 8th, I’ll be in the England Family Music Garden playing some tunes and warming up the crowd before one of my favorite songsmiths, the incomparable @jasonisbell

If you’re coming to the show, get there early to hear my bad jokes and awkward banter between songs.
Schedule goes as follows:
5:30 - England Family Music Garden opens and I perform
6:30 - Doors
7:15 - I scramble to load out
7:30 - we all get an incredible show from the 400 unit

Huge shout out and all my gratitude to everyone on the incredible team at @rutheckerdhall for allowing me these awesome performance opportunities.

Fun fact: The third picture was taken almost exactly 7 years ago at the very same venue

This Saturday, December 21st, I’ll be in Downtown St. Pete at Seven C Music @sevencmusic playing a coffee shop set of Originals and some of my favorite covers. Incredibly grateful to this amazing local small business and all that they do to support the local music scene. I’ll be playing for donations, so if you feel so inclined, stop in, drop a couple bucks into the tip jar, and I’ll sing right at your face. See y’all there.

Had a great time playing some pre-show tunes last night for @allmanbettsfamilyrevival (even if it was a little chilly for this Florida boy)

Always grateful to @rutheckerdhall for allowing me to make some noise before some of their incredible shows. Next time I’ll be out there will be February 20th for @scottymccreery (tickets on sale now!)

So maybe it’s a few days late.. but here’s the rundown for September. Looking forward to a great month of gigs, including the rare occasion that I play all my own songs consecutively (and don’t sneak them into a cover set)

I love animals, but am currently bitter about squirrels.

Covered some @redclaystrays at my gig Monday afternoon. Was listening to their new record all weekend, and felt inspired to play the tune that instantly made me a fan of theirs. Thanks for watchin’ 🤘🏻

Very grateful to the fine folks at @uglygrouper for allowing me to make some face noises at their patrons every week for the rest of the year. I always have a great time playing out there. C’mon out to the isle of Anna Maria, and give the service staff all your money.

3 years ago today
750+ gigs ago…
I got this beaut of a @mcphersonguitars #carbonseries #sable and she’s taken great care of me despite my borderline abusive play style. I don’t have to worry about temperature, the Florida humidity, or any intensive fretboard care. Low maintenance, high performance.

A little snippet of the tail end of a #jasonisbell tune from my gig yesterday. Isbell is top tier as far as songwriting goes, and there ain’t no argument that can convince me otherwise. #songwriter #acoustic #mcphersonguitars #shure #electrovoice #country #americana

A question I get asked quite frequently, as my guitar is a little different than what people are used to seeing in an acoustic. I love my @mcphersonguitars Carbon Series Sable. It's done well to hold up to me beating on it for almost 3 years and 700+ gigs, most of which are within spittin' distance of the Gulf of Mexico. Traditional wood guitars and salty air don't get on too well... but this beauty takes it on the chin and keeps on singin'.

Had an amazing time at @thesoundfla for @am0slee and @willienelsonofficial even got to watch part of Willie’s set with Amos Lee himself. Crazy part is that I got a picture with him in almost the exact same spot 12 years ago when he played @clearwaterjazz before all the changes to coachman park.

All in all, a legendary evening at an incredible new venue. I was blown away. Can’t wait for the next show. Great job @rutheckerdhall and @myclearwater

Congrats to @jasonisbell (one of my favorite, probably #1, songwriters) on his Grammy wins. As you can see from this totally candid and not posed or requested at all picture from 2018 we’re basically old friends… stoked to see him come back to town in August with Zach Bryan.

Hope y’all had a wonderful thanksgiving! This Florida boy is a little chilly hanging out in Savannah for the weekend. Here’s where you can find me in the end days of 2023. Thankful to have this noise making life, and the people that support it. Cheers!
