After many miles, I am happy to report that I have played some great shows, driven some long hours, seen some beautiful places, and safely landed back in Ohio...
Check out my schedule of upcoming Ohio shows HERE. About a month ago I was in the bay area where the land meets the sea...
I use to work on a farm in Sonoma County and it was a great time of year to swing by. Having a cooler full of fresh veggies in the van was the best. There were 28 different crops in harvest...
I also stopped by my friend's flower farm, B-Side Farm...
Having some flowers to spruce up the van was also lovely...
Besides going to the coast to visit farms and play concerts, I was there to officiate my friends' wedding. I was so honored that they had asked me to be part of this day. I use to work with Justin at Camp Oty' Okwa in Ohio. We spent many days leading kids on adventurous hikes together. Now he's off on his next big adventure with his wonderful wife Emily...
The San Francisco area is bustling and busy. I'm not a city person, but I go to see the people I love. I got to visit with my cousin's family, my sister, and other friends. My friend Steve has this great condo where you can see the city from a safe distance. You can drink coffee, listen to the coast guard radio, and watch the boats come in and out of the bay...
Then I left the city life behind and headed west. I stopped at one of my favorite hot springs on the Kern River. A far cry from the hurried city...
Then through Death Valley. A far cry from the ocean...
Where wild horses roam...
Now I'm back in Ohio and vacuuming the desert, dried flower petals, and fallen road snack crumbs out of my van. It was another great trip. Thanks to everyone who hosted me, fed me, booked me, laughed, shared stories, encouraged me, and connected. Life is sweet. I am thankful...
