I'm just back from this year's Kerrville Fest and am behind on sleep but the music was inspiring and fabulous. It's going to be a busy weeks of shows and a speedy return to Oregon early next week.

Here's this weeks schedule of gigs and gogs.

Buck Meek, Adrianne Lenker, me and Raina Rose are singing beginning at 9 pm in the hidden fields of Zilker Park. The details say: "The show is going to start at 9 pm on the dark side of those cliffs in the middle of the giant field at Zilker where ACL is held."

Hope that helps some...
