It finally feels like summer decided to show up in the Good Land. Probably because it’s been super hot for days in a row now. Yesterday, a couple of us took a dip in Andrew’s pool, cooked some brats, and shot some guns. Basically had some good clean All-American fun! Tonight I’m going with my father to see Paul McCartney at Miller Park! We saw him together about 10 years ago and had a great time so I think we’re in for a hell of a night!
We have been extremely busy lately here at Good Land. We’re working on three different titles that should be coming out soon. People have been really receptive to The Figgs Box Set we released a couple weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier about it. If you’re interested in one please act fast because a third of them have already sold.
A couple weeks ago The Shades went to New York to do a string of shows and they went very well for us! Highlights for me playing wise were the Brooklyn Bowl show with the Old 97’s and getting to play with my favorite guitar player Chip Roberts in Hudson, NY. But the most mind blowing thing of the trip out east was going to the Woodstock Cemetery to pay honor and respect to Levon Helm and Rick Danko. Such a beautiful place up there in the Catskills. No wonder they all moved and found peace there. Speaking of, we got to also roll by the Big Pink House which was breath taking to be there. I’ll never forget that. Safe to say I was in deep throws of passion. That about enough emotion I can take for one blog so I’ll leave you guys. Thanks to everyone for making The First Annual Shades Shindig a great success by coming out! The Benjamin’s reunited for the first time in a long while and it was super fun!
Peace and love,
Jonny
