I sure wish we saw more than what was showed here, but HELL YEAH! OoT was one of the most formative games of my youth and it looks like I'm gonna have to get my hands on a Switch 2.
My thinking with festivals is always "I'll go when I'm booked." But I reckon I might just have to go to Laurel Cove one of these years and stop holding my breath 😂

Psssst. Over the past couple months, I've been putting up live videos from the South of Mars release show on my Patreon! If you wanna see the full Big Breakfast playing your favorite tune from the album, as little as $5 gets you access! It was one of the best nights of my life.
The industry plant discourse in regards to mainstream country is always silly. The only reason anyone is on any of those award shows or country radio is because a bunch of suits in a board room decided they could make money off of them. Genre labels are a marketing term.
'But so-and-so didn't EARN it.' None of them have earned it, they won the lottery. They don't work exponentially harder than the musicians they passed on their way up in spite of making exponentially more money. They were in the right place at the right time and they lucked out.
The rhythm of this job is weird. A busy month this month means a more stable month next month. But being busy with gigs impacts my energy levels to do the booking etc which usually leads to less gigs next couple months. Throw a cancellation in and the whole balance is fucked.
Hey, friends. Unfortunately, I won't be able to perform at On The Rocks in Waukegan today as cold winds have made it miserable out there and my performance has been cancelled. I'll keep you posted on a make up date!
"The days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days." Today feels like a good day.
TODAY: August Hill Winery in Utica, IL 3:30-6:30
TOMORROW: On The Rocks in Waukegan, IL 3-6
I'll see y'all out there!
