Just a quickie to let you know that you can now buy tickets for our show with Pela, at the Tractor Tavern on May 25th. I'd recommend getting them as soon as you can, because this show will most likely sell out. Pela rule, and they're playing Sasquatch the next day.

Here's the link: Smelliott!

You can also buy them at all Sonic Boom locations in Seattle.

Thanks!

Just a quick note to let you all know that this Saturday, February 2nd, I'm playing a benefit show for the Seattle Human Rights Film Festival, at the High Dive in Seattle.

Also on the bill are Sky Cries Mary, and Voyager One.

The show is pretty early, and is being broadcast live on KEXP. I play at 8pm, but if you tune in a little earlier, you'll get to hear me interviewed, which is always super exciting. In Seattle, you can listen at 90.3 on your FM dial or everywhere else, at KEXP.org.

Hope you can make it out to the show, or check it out on the radio!

Oh yeah, and I'll be playing solo/acoustic for this one.

Hi Everyone. I know it's been forever, and I'm sorry about that. To make it up to you, I've posted a live version of my cover of the Low song, "Words", which I recorded with my dear friend Robert Deeble at KEXP, back in August. The actual version of that song appears on "We Could Live in Hope - A Tribute to Low". Check it.

August rules. Despite being hot and muggy, there are a bunch of rad things going down in DGH World.

First and Foremost: "We Could Live in Hope - A Tribute to Low" is released! It doesn't hit stores until September 2nd, but you can purchase it online here, at Fractured Discs , immediately.

I recorded the Low song "Words" in Seattle with my good friend Louis O'Callaghan, AKA the Graze, for the record. My version of "Words" is the first song on the disc, which also features Mark Kozelek from the Red House Painters(!), Migala(!), Idaho(!), and several other incredible artists.

Secondly: The World's greatest radio station, Seattle's KEXP, has been playing my new record, "the Lake Effect", quite a bit lately. So much so, that it's charted at number #41 on the variety charts for this week. That's an all-time DGH high. The record has also been added to several stations throughout the United States and interwebben, so send in your requests!

Thirdly: I'm going to be playing live on KEXP's Audioasis, on Saturday, August 28th at 8pm Pacific Standard Time. You can listen live on thier lovely, and highly interactive website, KEXP.org.

So, this past Friday was the first show of a new series that Daniel G. Harmann and a few other Seattle songwriters have put together. It took place at the Aurafice Internet & Coffee Bar on Capitol Hill. Robb Benson played it, along with Seth Howard and Louis O'Callaghan, and it couldn't have gone better. It ended up being standing room only. We're doing it every Friday at Aurafice, and are calling the series 'Independents Day'. It's free, and always all ages. If you're interested in playing, feel free to email Daniel through the contact form provided right here on HelloTower.com. This coming Friday, come down to check out Dan Johnson, Matt Duss, & John Purkey. You should check out www.aurafice.com for weekly listings.

If anyone tells you that driving for 24 hours straight is a fantastic idea, call them a liar, and never trust them again. Despite the hot, stinky ride to Arizona and back, the tour went great. We met some amazing people, and saw some old friends, who we will miss dearly, and anxiously await the day that we get to see them again.

Many, many thanks to Erin Abbott, the Tobias Family, and the Harmann Family for letting us sleep on their floor, eat their food, and spoon their pets.

Extra hugs to Michael Compton, Dan Hargest, Leslie Barton, and Judah, Josh, and Logan from the Velvet Teen. You'll be hard pressed to find more beautiful, honest, and kind hearted souls on this earth.
