My summer gigs are finally starting with The Maine Blues Festival Saturday. Got my rig all set up (HG-50 with a LoneWolf Delay and HarpAttack, a Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 Booster pedal, a Boss Octave pedal, and a Vox Wah-Wah all in a Gator pedal board). I am really excited, this is the first gig I get to use all of this in front of a lot of people. How about you guys, any summer plans?

@ZackPomerleau and @All
/My summer gigs are finally starting with The Maine Blues Festival Saturday/
Play great shows!
Me?
Er...
A fair few bars and such, should be going out busking with an upright bass player and drummer soon (if you're in London and see someone with no hair, in a white suit and playing harmonica, that could well be me), opening for John Mayall in London in a few days, the mind and music expanding experience of being a student at Blues Week in early August and entertaining the Hells Angels at the Bulldog Bash will be cool...
EDIT: my calendar is at captainbliss.com

Just one for now, as I'm way too busy with overtime and getting my house in order: A benefit for adoptaunit.org called VaVaVictory. I'm with Eudora and Deep Soul, although I'd join Fleur de Tease if they'd have me...

I didn't attempt any festival bookings this year in line with my letting go of trying to make gigs happen and waiting for the right person to take over that end of things. It was a blessing because we are moving to another house at the moment and I am doing a lot grunt work on my new studio construction. today I hand hammered straps to hold the roof joices togehter. Luckily I didn't mash my thumbs!
You can find me at the Granville Farmers Market, Granville, OH, every Saturday from 8:30-12:30 weather permitting. I will be playing as an all acoustic 1 man band and selling the homemade dog biscuits my special education students make. I love this gig. No pressures and I get to hang out and meet lots of interesting people. Walter

I am spending July rehearsing with the Mike Fugazzi Band and cutting back NiteRail to 1-2 gigs a month down to nothing in 2011. I found a fantastic group of musicians (pro guitar and bassist along with a pro-level drummer) closer to home so I don't have to commute to rehearse...and I like being the "worst" musician in a band.
Sonically it will be like current Allman Brothers meets current Blues Traveler. We have a night's worth of music worked out and will start gigging right after SPAH. ----------

I've got a pretty heavy gig schedule this summer, mostly in Mississippi (a couple in New Orleans). Have some very cool gigs this fall (with some big names) that I won't announce yet. This Saturday, the great Brendan Power will be joining me for a guest appearance at one of my Jackson acoustic shows.

Hmm, Adam's got a show in NY. I wouldn't trust my car that far but if I can convince my friend to go with me...
I've got a Song Writer's Circle I started that I do twice a month. I'm still trying to figure out how to run that.

@Zack: Hey man, post your dates. Are you getting down any farther south than Portland? Mary and I'd love to catch a show.
If the dates are on your website then put your website link in your profile.
Have a blast!
