Coming up:  Week after next a trip to British Columbia, invited by the music department of  Selkirk College in Nelson, Canada. I'll be doing clinics on Tuesday Jan 18, follwed by a performance with the faculty band that evening. This should be very intersting putting material together so quickly  -we propose to do  a mash up from my past with interpetations of tunes from  King Crimson, TU, Mr. Mister, plus some of our favorites from Todd Rudgren, Al Green and such. 

The following week , Jan 28, will be our 2nd show from Black Book Angel, featuring Chrysta Bell. This show will be at the Blanton Art Museum  and is a Gala Lumiere Event,  that showcases the work of the incredible talent: Robert Wilson

                     ...the Black Book is being written. 

Coming soon after that:  Stick Men in South America in March and then  Europe in April - dates coming soon.

Howdy,

We've moved . .  into a new home. . we brought some of the old furniture  but also added lots of new stuff, plus expect more since  now it should be a little easier for me tweak as i travel.

Getting this together was not easy (for me) - -  so  i owe Big Thanks Adrian Benavides!

Also thanks to AL's pointed stick ,  Markus, Trey and Frank Rakow.  Frank and all his good folks in Gütersloh that have hosed and cared for my site for the last 10 years - Thanks you all very much.

Merry Christmas and happy hollandaise,

Been home, off the road, for almost 6 weeks and hardly stopped to  unpacked. Had pro tools melt down that delayed me cutting tracks  on several really great projects. .like:  
A couple fantastic songs for Steven Wilson solo CD- Porcupine Tree plays multiple nights at Radio City this week so if your near NYC get down there.
 
 
My next live show is Turner to Monet:  with Chrysta Bell at the Blanton Museum of Art Oct 1st .I've worked with Chrysta a lot and to tie in with her David Lynch release she's developing an instalation project  - called Black Book Angel, rehearsals started today. Besides myself, film maker Dutch Rail and multiinstrumental superman David Garza (Jon Brion, Nickel Creek, Grant Lee Phillips and Fiona Apple) will be on the gig.

Markus arrives next week and we will put the finishing touches on the next Tuner record  FACE, or rather half of it. Face was conceived as a Two Faced record. . but FACE 2 is running behind just like  everything else!
 
Also recording for  Naked Truth project  organized by  Lorenzo Feliciati , with Roy Powell and trumpet player Cuong Vu. We've spent the last year passing tapes and have something rather unique bubbling in the brewery.
 
Lots of road dates coming in: starting with  TU (Trey Gunn and I) visiting Russia again this November. .  will start to post those  dates soon as they confirm and get solid.
right now all i know are these three: 17 -Yekaterinburg, 18 - Chelyabinsk, 19 - Moscow.
 
And lastly bit of rather major news, at least in p@ world:  Mr Mister have arranged with Sony/BMG  to put out our last record, the never released PULL . . left in a time capsule since 1990 i think it represents our best work and we are delighted to finally get to see it released. I understand Sony is also repackaging our first three records and  presenting a brand  new greatest hits CD.
