Hello again! The tour is about to begin, and I just wanted to let you all know a last-minute detail: We plan to sell 3-song demo CDs for $1 each at our shows, while they last. They will include “Prometaphor,” “A Chasing After the Wind,” and “Candlesmoke” and feature photographs taken by my brother, Wesley Norman. Also, Kirk Brown will not be coming along, as mentioned before, but vocalist/glockenspielist Savanna Blazina will be!MONDAY April 3, 2006: Des Moines, IA – Vaudeville Mews w/ Halfway House, The Reputation and ZPSTHURSDAY April 6, 2006: Austin, TX – The Parish w/ The BooksFRIDAY April 7, 2006: Denton, TX – Hailey’s w/ The BooksMONDAY April 10, 2006: Denver, CO – Larimer Lounge w/ The BooksWEDNESDAY April 12, 2006: Salt Lake City, UT – In The Venue w/ The Books

Wow, it’s been awhile! Right now, the five members of the live Grimfeather troupe are living in Iowa practicing like the dickens for our upcoming brief tour, and we’re quite excited about it! Coming along with Erik and I for the ride will be my former Cardboard Canary bandmate Josh Schryver, as well as ex-Sophia/Cellophane the Midwives guitarist/vocalist Kirk Brown, with whom I worked on the Elmo material. Two more dates have been added below, including one in Des Moines at the Vaudeville Mews, and one in Austin, Texas at The Parish.
