On the Road This Week

Going to put on a thousand miles or so this week. With books, stories, and music in tow:

Friday – Oshkosh, Wisconsin: The band and I (I’ll be telling some stories between songs, also) will be playing in a gorgeous old opera house.

Saturday – Mineral Point, Wisconsin: I’ll be doing new monologue material in another gorgeous old opera house.

Sunday – Fairfield, Iowa: I’ll be telling stories (including a little something about home birth) in the library.

Monday – Des Moines, Iowa: I’ll be moderated. It’s about time.

Available Online: Tent Show Radio TSR 13-18 Mike and The Long Beds

If you missed last weekend’s Tent Show Radio episode featuring Mike and the Long Beds, it can now be heard online. During the monologue at intermission, Mike explains how he wound up in a band, and what critical advice he once received from a Grammy-winning musician.

 

A big thank you to Tent Show Radio sponsors. They’re an interesting, cheesy, foamy, delicious, outdoorsy bunch, and you can get to know them right here.

Eric Taylor Coming to the Midwest

When I’m asked to cite writers who have influenced me, I invariably name singer/songwriters. Eric Taylor is one of those. His songs are the finest sort of roughneck literature. Also, I once drove across the state through a 100-year flood to see an Eric Taylor show and when I got to the venue I realized I had forgotten my money, my credit cards, and my ID. Some guy at the bar offered to pay my way in.

It was Eric Taylor.

He’s going to be touring up here in our parts beginning this week: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota. Details here.
