Mmmm van takeout

The missus chillin’

Alt-country songstress Nikki Talley quit college at 19, when she realized she could make money booking gigs rather than studying sheet music. She knew her calling was to perform the folk sound she was raised upon, and her music was coddled by the creative community of Asheville, NC.

Some nice press on me and m’lady from The Encore out of Wilmington, NC

Rainy morning at Walmart #vanlife

Walmarting it somewhere in South Carolina. Gonna fall asleep to the sound of rain on the roof

We’re taking our Korg digital 16 track on the road with us this time out. Got a lot of new songs that may have to get demoed.

The 2013 Magnolia Festival lineup has been announced. We get to head back down to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in October and be a part of this. 

Sleepy head

We have some amazing friends/fans. These are folks who are willing to let us into their homes at any time. They feed us, let us use their showers, beds, wifi…you name it.

How I found Thoreau — and avoided a life of debt-ridden desperation — by living in my van as a graduate student at Duke University.

We’re heading north out of Florida. There are a lot RV’s overnighting with us at the Walmart tonight - way more than usual. All the snowbirds must be heading north. Just like us …

Still haging at The Quality Inn in Clearwater…working on some new tunes.

March was a busy month for us. We’ve hit up some new and old places through Tennessee, North/South Carolina and Florida. Our highlight, of course, was getting to play Suwannee Springfest in Live Oak Florida. It’s the first day of April and no van camping for us. We’re in Tampa and treating ourselves to a hotel and some bad television.

Van creepin’

Post-Springfest

Just spent the last 9 days or so in the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL. Every year the Suwannee Springfest happens and we were invited to play this year’s event. We’re wooped after 9 days of camping, 3 sets during the weekend, torrential rains and late night jam sessions. 

Since the park has wifi, we’ve been hanging in the van and doing a little booking for most of our last day here. Tomorrow it’s on to Tallahassee!
