I write songs and have fun with my friends the bootstrap boys… hummin’ at a high frequency… might go off the rails without warning

Bought a really old guitar and love it! It’s cracked like me but still plays great and sounds wonderful. I know it’s still got stories to tell and I can’t wait to hear’em

Sad to see so many Americans bury their heads in the sand and ignore the travesties unfolding before our eyes. Just imagining the mental gymnastics is making me nauseous. The whole “conservative” wing is lies and bullshit targeting the statistically least educated among us. Yikes
Hardest little tour ever… survived thus far by the grace of god. We are all just so sad. Come out to the rambling house, Columbus. Let us bring you down
John R Miller was great and we were elated to support him at our first show since the loss of our dearly departed cofounder and lead guitarist Nick Alexander

Played a very relaxed solo show at a brewery north of town this weekend… met a couple that saw us at angry bear up in Marquette last spring and this time they knew the words to songs and hung out all night! Gotta love it!
Gotta love the best little radio station on the planet!

The sold out show we played at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia last night was one of the best crowds I’ve ever had the privilege of entertaining. So much love! Baby’s First Rodeo is top notch good times!

Feeling like a keep the curtains closed kinda day. Don’t exactly wanna blow up the outside world but muting it for a while sounds like a good idea.
Had a great time opening for my new buddy @thedalehollow and his band tonight! Detroit is such an awesome town for live music (plus PJ’s is old school cool). Every time I’m here I love it more.
Hello #Detroit! What do I “need to do” in town before load-in?
Got booted off a bill this week but the world’s on fire and genocide is commonplace so it’s hard to give a shit about out who does or doesn’t like how we choose to do business and/or interact with our own fans
