TRIP ON THE CONTINENT CONTINUES

Folks,

In case you missed it, or aren’t following our exploits on Instagram or Facebook, Stephie re-joined the tour in time for our SOLD OUT show in Berlin. The Nurnberg, Copenhagen, Malmo, and Zurich shows were SOLD OUT, too. As are Utrecht and Kilkenny. So if you’re on the fence about buying tickets, now is a good time.

As always, the dates are guaranteed fresh and available at CP Inc. where you can always find up-to-the-minute details.

As for the show and the band, it’s WAY more than you deserve. We are definitely going to have to start charging more. My dry-cleaning bill is going through the roof.

Seriously, we could all use the money. We’re running a family business here, people! Then again, don’t do it for us. Do it for yourself. Come out and support your own inner rock and roll animal. You know he’s in there somewhere.

Meanwhile at the merch table… after some shipping delays, we are now carrying a pallet of “Live in Paris from 2017” CDs with 13 career spanning tracks, including Summertime Thing, You Did, Wish Me Luck, and Willie Mays Is Up At Bat. This is available only at our shows. We just ask that you be respectful of your fellow shoppers; no cutting in line or jostling others. There’s enough for everyone.

Onwards,

- CP

P.P.S. In Merchville USA: The 3D Night Surfer 7″ Singles BOX SET Collection. A total of seven 7” vinyl singles. 12 tracks from Night Surfer plus 2 bonus tracks. And it comes with 3D glasses(!)

YOU GO LEAD A QUIET LIFE

Folks,

We’re back. Stephie, Vicente and I had a ball rampaging through the Wild East on our Trio Tour culminating in our SOLD OUT show on Valentine’s Day with the Make Out Quartet at the Swedish American Hall here in San Francisco.

But once again, we’re gassing up the Econoline and taking the Mission Express out to the people. Starting this Tuesday in Des Moines and heading down into into parts unknown and then coming in for a landing with a three show stand at our home away from home in Austin – the Continental Club.

Just now, I’m sitting here listening to Bob Dylan’s “Fragments” and enjoying a cuppa. One minute Bob’s singing about how the best advice he ever got was to “Go home and lead a quiet life.” And then he turns around and asks: “You ever feel just like your brain’s been bolted to the wall?”

You go lead a quiet life, Bob. I’ve still got dreams to fulfill, you know? Sure, I’ll probably never own a guitar with my name written on the fretboard in mother of pearl, but we’re not ready to fold up the tent just yet, either. Note the cluster lunch of gigs below.

What else am I gonna do? At least I’m halfway good at it. And nobody has a better band. (And on a personal note, nobody has a better band.) Nothing is wrong, everything’s right. We’ll be out there giving ourselves, all for you, night after night, so won’t you be there with us when the deal goes down?

Again, I won’t insult with indecipherable links. You know what do to from here, right? Dig in with both hands.

Onwards,

- CP
