Tour ===> home ===> tour

Tour 1 out of 5 for the rest of the year has been completed! We got home two days ago, and I've been doing nothing except trying to get rid of this annoying cold I've had for the past week. Sinus probems and ear blockage are not exactly what I had in mind for our week off in LA. Grrr. I'm definitely planning on being back up to 100% by the time we fly out for our shows in Australia and South East Asia next week- it's going to be fun and I'm determined not to miss out thanks to some stupid cold. There will be more tour updates to follow then- in the meantime, there's some more tour photos on my Flickr page for your perusal. I'll be catching up with you all again in a week's time, from the other side of the world! Woo hoo!

Woop woop, adventure time continues!

The Christina Perri US Spring tour continues to absolutely slay, at least as far as the shows and my personal enjoyement of them is concerned. This really has been the best little adventure with the best folks, I'm almst pre-emptively sad that this time next week we'll be home. Not for long, luckily. Oh hey, if you want to read in more detail about what we've been up to for the past couple of weeks, go check out the Girl Rock Nation page, which is kindly hosting my tour blog. Yes indeed, linky linky below:

Oh hey, what have we so far.... An absolutely killing first US show in Asheville, NC; followed by a great night at Norfolk, VA's Norva, where the backstage area comes with its own steam room and hot tub; a steamy show at what can only be described as a haunted community center in Pittsburgh; and last but not least, last night's set at NYC's Webster Hall, which was easily the highlight of this tour so far. The "New York show" of any tour is always kind of stressful (thank you, label peeps hovering around in the perimeter), so it was a huge relief that it went off without a hitch and was well-received by all. Tonight's multi-track recording of the Burlington show is going to be a piece of cake in comparison!

Tour time! Finally!

And we're off!! Holy smokes, how fun to be back on the road after what seemed like an interminable couple of months at home. I couldn't be more excited to be traveling around playing shows with my friends again. And this also means... it's time to fire up the old tour blog again. The awesome folks over at Girl Rock Nation will once again be giving my tour ramblings a home on their blog section. I'll be posting links to the entries here, and of course you can also check my ever-expanding Flickr set for more pictures from the tour. Oh, and follow me on Twitter and Instagram for daily updates and photos of random stuff. Mwah!

The week before going on tour is always kind of weird. My brain is already out the door and adventuring across the country, but my body is still in LA, trying to run errands, pack, and hang out with everyone I need to see before taking off. Oh, and of course all my gear has already been freighted out, so I have no instruments or music stuff ot play with at home. Oh well, Friday will come soon and we'll be on our way!

In the meantime, here's a rad, totally non-dorky little interview Christina Perri and I did for Girl Rock Nation a while back. So far back, in fact, that I still have my old stupid non-blond hair!

But seriously, I can't wait to get out of town and get this tour started already!! Aaahhh, Friday, I am waiting for you...
