Here’s another album of photos from the recent Mabel Tainter show. Two of my favorites:
Billy crushes me with his guitar.
Big finish with “After Waymore’s Blues.”

Tiny Pilot Live at the Mabel
Volume One has put up an album of photos from the Long Beds show at the gorgeous Mabel Tainter.
Larry Meiller Show 03/02/2010
The recent interview I did with Larry Meiller on Wisconsin Public Radio is archived here. It can be downloaded here. Once we got the phones hooked up and working, we talked about the new Long Beds album Tiny Pilot, and I took calls from folks all around, including a lady who knew my grandparents.
Tiny Pilot Has Wings
Today is the official release date of the new Michael Perry and the Long Beds album, Tiny Pilot. You can have a listen here, and find out about CD purchase or digital downloads here (the CD version includes a full-color poster, lyrics (with song commentary by Mike) and three bonus tracks not available on the digital version).
The band is going to be out on the road some.
We want to give a special thank you to Amble Down Records. Kyle and his crew get all credit for bringing this project to the runway. Now we’ll do our best to keep the wings square to the earth.
P.S. If you’re local (within range of Eau Claire, Wisconsin), we are told the album is available at: Borders, Truckers Union, Infinitea, Tangled Up in Hue, and Revival Records.
If you’re not local…here y’go.
Fun Radio News
The Long Beds have just been confirmed as a guest on Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? radio show Saturday, March 20. We are told we’ll be playing two songs and that the two Michaels may chat a tad. The show will be broadcast live from the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center. Ticket info here.
And just a reminder, the new album is still streaming over at Volume One.
Photos for Musical Gearheads
While we were finishing up the Tiny Pilot album, Chris (our guitarist) holed up in his basement to record some additional guitar sounds. Note the glamorous setting in critical proximity to laundry (a recurring motif of my albums).
WPR Interview with Larry Meiller
WUWM Interview – Tiny Pilot
Mitch Teich talks to me about albums, airplanes, and accordions. OK, nothing about accordions…this time.
New Album Now Streaming
Not sure exactly when the exact link goes live (it’s live now), so I’ll try to update this post to be more specific, but sometime today (maybe now?) you’ll be able to go over to the Volume One site and stream the new Long Beds album live.
UPDATE: Here’s the direct link: http://volumeone.org/audio/playlist
A big thank you to the crew at Volume One.
And of course, the album itself is available for pre-order (with free download) right here.
Long Beds on TV
Thank you to Steve at TV18. He made the trek over to the LuCille Tack Arts Center in Spencer, Wisconsin, and shot some Long Beds footage. Video here.
That music we’re playing is from the Amble Down Records album Tiny Pilot now available for pre-order and early listening.
