TOUR DATES

You might notice that my tour schedule is a lot lighter than it used to be, and centered primarily in certain areas of the U.S. Yes, there’s a reason for this.

Last November the majority of the country’s electorate chose for president a 34-time convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and a traitor to American democracy (as he proved on January 6, 2021, and as he continues to prove). Since he and his administration took power in January, we’ve seen unprecedented rolling back of basic human rights and intentional sabotage of essential government functions that exist to serve the people. More to the point, we’ve seen an entirely predictable and tragic increase in the persecution of anyone who’s not white, straight, male, Christian, American-born, able-bodied, and rich.

As a musician I find myself at something of a crossroads. I’ve always considered my calling to be the sharing of music from the heart to the hearts of my fellow human beings, and I happily adopted the necessary nomadic lifestyle to travel to audiences and bring them the music in person. That was all just part of the gig, and I enjoyed it for many years, racking up over a million miles all over North America and western Europe. But now, here in the United States, there’s no escaping the fact that my LGBTQ+, nonwhite, and immigrant brothers and sisters are unsafe – indeed, all women are too, and we’re already starting to count the fatalities – and the idea of using my privilege as a straight white male to carry on “business as usual” while others are endangered by the politics of hate is abhorrent to me.

That said, here’s (some of) what’s coming!
