As you all know, I’ve been working on a new record and will be on this current hiatus from the bright lights of the stage for another couple of months while we finish. To mark the occasion of my official return with “The Gentry” backing me, I will be playing “Doug Fir” in Portland on Thursday, May 27th with “Fleshtone” and “Double Plus Good“! It’s gonna be a really good night. Tickets are on sale now HERE.

More info later…just figured I’d let you know when the next time you’ll be seeing me is. (Aside from a few of you who will see me next month at The Fez Ballroom with Holcombe Waller, Tahoe Jackson, and some very secret special guests…but that’s not open to the public so I won’t ever mention it again).

“The Gentry” and I will be playing all sorts of shows this Summer & Fall. See you soon! Oh, and watch videos by Double Plus Good and Fleshtone by clicking on their names in this sentence.

Hey! Turn on your TV to watch (or set your Tivo to record) “NewNowNext” Music THIS SUNDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT on MTV’s “Logo” Channel! My new video “The Last High” is going to be airing nationwide again all week and is in some REALLY good company!
