I'm not going to go on a huge write-up here. I needed to pop in to say thanks for sticking with me. I have some shows coming up this summer, some with my group The Flood, some with my rock band One If By Land and some Solo. Check out the “Tour” section to see where I'm currently scheduled to play.
With a bathroom renovation behind us and having just come out of playing The Riverside Music Festival for 2023 I'm enjoying the weather.
I hope you all have a Happy 4th of July. If you're local and close to my hometown here in Meadville, PA I'll be doing a gig this Friday 6/30/23 @ Lucantino's Trattoria and then on 7/1/23 I'll be headed to Conneaut, OH to play at Buccia Vineyard.
I hope to see you all this summer. I've been writing a lot of new songs, and I know I keep saying it, but this new record is going to get started here very soon. I'm notorious for having about 5 irons in 10 fires.
By the way, we lost a great author in Cormac McCarthy. My favorite. If you haven't had a chance to read his novels and like Westerns, I'd recommend the Border Trilogy which starts with “All the Pretty Horses" and if you prefer some deep thoughtful spooky writings that at times require multiple passes Stella Maris, Blood Meridian, Suttree or hell… any of em. You may have seen No Country For Old Men, The Road, The Counselor (Screenplay he was involved in) and others.. Don't watch the movie All The Pretty Horses, they did a bad job of it, read the book.
Blevins.
Big love,
Fred
