| Hey everyone. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been on the air, actually since the holidays, right? Well, the main reason is that there wasn’t a hell of a lot going on. I’ve just been doing some relaxing, recording a few tracks here & there & such like that. Now that there’s a few live shows to report, a movie about to premier, a couple others in the works, a few recordings & some X news, I’ll be back on the line. It seemed that in 2011 my movie career was truly, finally over. Then my old buddy Allison Anders called for us (Cindy Wasserman, Kristin Mooney & me) to sing the voices for the Carter Family. Allison also helped me get the job playing A.P. Carter in the up coming Ring Of Fire. It premiers May 27th on Lifetime. Then at the end of last year I was fortunate enough to work on two other indy movies; Pleased to Meet Me (PtMM) and Electric Slide. No idea when they’ll be released, both will probably do the festival circuit. PtMM stars Aimee Mann, Joe Henry & Loundon Wainwright III. Check the link to see what it’s all about. It had a first showing at the WXPN music & film festival in Philly on 4/12/13; which was followed by a Q & A w/ David Dye (World Café), Archie Borders (dir) Loudon & me. People seemed to like the movie & even I thought it was pretty good. Electric Slide features Jim Sturgess, Patricia Arquette, Isabel Lucas, Christopher Lambert, Will McCormack & Cloe Sevigny. I play an LAPD homicide detective named Bill Holiday & my partner (Will Mc Cormack) is Fred Mercury. pretty dang much fun, oh yeah. First Glance Film Festival — Hollywood April 27th I’ve got a July solo tour in the process of being booked. There are two dates so far.
Sweetwater, Mill Valley July 26th
Far West Fest July 27th I look forward to playing w/ a new band from SF, which as of yet is not complete but Tom Heyman will certainly be part of it. Of course Cindy Wasserman will be there w/ her thrush-like vocal stylings & smiling face. X has a few gigs booked as well:
Bottle Rock on May 9th w/ too many bands to mention
Orange County Fair July 18th W/ the B52’s
LA Pershing Square Aug 17th They also tell me that a tour w/ Blondie may happen in Sept. what a gas that will be! Look for a couple songs on The 78 Project
a Slim Dunlap benefit single on New West
and a civil war song on a compilation titled Divided and United Alrighty then, I guess that’s it for now. I look forward to seeing many of you out there. ______________________
