EUROPE, DID YOU MISS US?

Europe! We’re back after six years away. Did you miss us? We missed you.

Now listen up, don’t write this mouth breather off just yet. I’ve been to the doctor and he says I’m healthy as a horse. So look out!

I’ve got an army behind me in the form of The Mission Express. All we wanted were a few gigs to sink our gums into and now it’s all this – 33 shows in 13 different countries including 7 festivals.

Plus we’ll be carrying a pallet of “Live in Paris from 2017” on CD with 13 career spanning tracks. This will be available only at our shows.

Join us why don’t you? We’ll be out there kicking high and wide, far and near. With shows and songs we’ve never even played before we’re dying to play for you. Gigs all over creation with the tour coming to a close at the Kilkenny Festival in Ireland. We’re going a long way to kiss a leprechaun, people(!)

WHERE DID I LEAVE OFF?

Folks,

Where did I leave off? Hope everyone had a swinging holiday.

Last time out The Mission Express was about to embark on a trek out to Texas and back, swinging up to Flagstaff and Tucson and Pappy and Harriets on the way home. This time around we are embarking on a three person folk rock rampage through the Wild East. [No fighting on the dance floor. But there might be some fighting on the stage]. We’re psyched. People are nuts out there. Honking and yelling and drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. It’s wild. We love it.

It’s the Acoustic Trio lineup we’ve got in store for you. Yours truly, Stephie and Vicente.

Been writing away, too. Listening to nothing but Cumbia jams. Soon we’ll be praying to the record gods. Out loud. More on that later. For now it’s gigsville USA. Dates here and below. Dig in with both hands.

Onwards,

-C

P.S. Meanwhile in Merchville: If you make it out to a show. We’ve dug up some some rare and out-of-print items like T-shirts or import CDs, LPs, 7 inches, or whatever and we’re pretty excited about our new coffee mugs, too.

P.P.S. Beyond that, if you want to get deeper into the real nitty-gritty with some more of my personal writing, you can now follow me over here at Substack.
