Had our 1st show last night as the new formation of the double v. Righteous!!
The show was a blast - but the real treat was that I discovered that there is a Viva Voce cover band in Oakland. Members of “cow girl” came to the show last night and blew my mind. Next time we play San Fran fellas, you’ve got yerselves a gig!
Rafter rocked.
Going to be a great tour!

We leave for tour in a few days. Very excited. It’ll be nice to head south on the I5 where it’s a bit warmer than home.  Been getting a bunch of emails about the new record & thought I’d post a few facts about it here:

a) Anita and I built a studio in our backyard. We recorded Rose City in 3 weeks - from pen to paper to final master. This was deliberate.

b) All photos (and cover image) were taken at a show here in town by Megan Holmes ( a pdx photog and general mover and shaker). The guitar on the cover is Anita’s Les Paul Custom Lite, a rare little number.

c) Obviously tried to make a conscious effort to keep all elements of the record based out of Portland. It’s not really a concept record, but it’ll make sense when you hear it.

See you out on the open road. All the venues with pre-sale ticket links are up at our concert page & all of our confirmed SXSW performances are listed.
See you soon.
