: APRIL :

Life has brought me back to Sacramento and it looks I will be stationed here for some time. The band is mostly here at this point (Kellen, Jason and Jonathan). Though it is not the same line-up as last year. Eric Frank (guitar, vocals) has spent the year working with his band LINKS quite a lot and Max Haymer (keys) moved out to New York after we recorded the Paradise Sessions.


First Full Band Rehearsal with Arlyn Anderson (right) on Guitar.

We had our first show on Monday night with Guitarist Arlyn Anderson at CSU Monterey Bay. I can't start to say how excited I am to have Arlyn playing with us. There were times on Monday where I couldn't help but smile. Marlana Sheetz also stepped in on some back up vocals. We are all starting to talk about recording again as I have another batch of new songs. More details coming soon about these recordings. We will be looking to our fans in a big way for these recordings - so stay tuned.

Also look for a Dawson and Marie (my acoustic side project) album in the coming months.

...and the driving continues.

The driving has gotten ridiculous. This week I am up in Oregon. Eugene, OR currently. I got my oil changed three weeks ago and it's time for another oil change.

I have started to use my twitter account more and more to post pictures and updates from the road. Add me at twitter.com/andrewheringer. Jonathan and I played dates in Arizona last week. Our favorite stop was in the town of Jerome, AZ. It is a little old once copper-mining town now artist town. I hope to make it back there someday. We also played in Scottsdale and at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.


Jerome, AZ

After Flagstaff, we stopped in Vegas for a night so Jonathan hit the strip. Our funny story from Vegas was that we parked in front with the complimentary valet. The baggage guy comes over. He talked to Jon and throws the guitars, some recording equipment i didnt want to leave in the van and clothes on to a cart. Before I know it he is gone. I figured he must have sorted things out with Jon. We go up to the room and the stuffs not there. I start freaking out a little. After a number of trips down to the baggage area and walking numerous laps around Harrah's - I realize that the baggage guy had thought we were the main Musical Entertainment at the Casino and about an hour later the guitars and all show up at the room. You can imagine, I was a little worried there for a while with my two main acoustic guitars missing. I have learned my lesson and will keep them with me.


Bruce gets a bath in Arizona

I have some T-Shirts up at the new online store. I wrote this on my twitter, but seriously next time I need to do my research. It all started when my friend Alex Dita (who has take most of our pictures over the last couple of years) joked about having an I LOVE MOLLY SHIRT based off my song Molly. I thought it was clever and went with the idea. I still like the idea mind you but I really had no clue that "Molly" was also a term for the drug Ecstasy. Oy. Anyway - many people are buying the shirts and I am pretty sure they aren't druggies. I don't think most people think about Molly as a drug reference but maybe I am wrong...
