From Butch with love... Spring '09 is seeming quite fine: Here we go kids! I'm so excited to be hitting the road again! The weather is gonna be slowly creeping towards beautiful, the sounds out of the speakers will be fun and flowery, and the band will be looking sharp. This is gonna be a good one! I know, I know...The economy sucks. The American dollar sucks...Well, we will have to change that. The tickets will be affordable (not like I'm worth any less y'all), the new merch will as well, and I promise that I'm picking up the tab for the drinks (maybe).

So don't be afraid to spend your weekly paycheck on a gala night of beautiful music and wonderful support acts. The support this time around is gonna be sweet. Not telling who all yet. Gonna have to have a few surprises left in life, right? Left? Right? Aren't I "witty"...

If you are among the first 30 people to buy tix for the shows in the limited advance ticket sales released this week, you will be able to get a little surprise. I'm gonna ask you to come into sound check to get a little private performance and to hang and shoot the s***. Isn't that enough to get you off work early? Yay!!!!

Thanks also to anyone who has bought or picked up the new record Sycamore Meadows that I put out this past year. The feedback has been touching and I really am a proud papa to this pet record. The shows will no doubt have a lot of songs from it, as well as some of my greatest non-hits from the yesteryear. Let's do this!
