Ok. We rescued a puppy. We call him Ozzy, mostly named after Fozzy the Bear. He has been sitting quietly on my lap as I mix the latest and greatest from our BRAND NEW BAND Hotels & Highways. More about this in a second, but first…
I am playing in Chicago, IL on Saturday night at 9:30 with Tim Blane (get tickets here) The following Saturday, we are working off the turkey in NYC, by playing Tom Petty’s Wildflowers at Rockwood (8pm).
Ok, now the biggest of the big news. Ozzy, the prince of darkness and I have been slaving away in the laboratory polishing up the already incredible sounding album “Lost River” by the band Hotels and Highways. The band is made up of Syd, Lisa Piccirillo and myself. We are currently running a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com to help pay for extra production on the album and subsidize touring costs, so that come Spring of ’11, people across this great nation will hear the songs we are so proud of.
If the answer to any of the following questions is yes, you should probably help reach our goal by donating now.
1. Would you buy the album when it comes out in the spring? (You’ll be getting a copy if you donate anyway…)
2. Have you recently asked me when I’m coming to play your home state/city? (Well, there’s a good chance we’ll be swinging by.)
3. Are you a human being? (Really? You are? Amazing! I guess you’ll have to click the link below.)

Our very first day we got 25% of our goal funded and less than a week in we are at 40%. Holy Bologna! Now, I want to challenge my fellow midwesterners to prove to the world that we too, love music! So far, I have only seen a couple Michiganders on the tote board (thanks Jeff and Casey.) Where you at?
Any way you slice it, I pumped!!!! Now back to the puppy and the music.
