A Week of New Orleans Love
New Orleans is all-consuming. I have no apologies about my lack of posts this past week (it has taken me until today, Wednesday to finish this post) and can only hope to mentally wade through the events of the past days to relate what life is like for me when I come to …

Notes from Austin City Limits
Writing this weekend from Austin during the famed Austin City Limits festival. This is our last night in Texas after making a solid interstate loop (Lubbock, Austin, Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, back to Austin). I came upon a free ticket by luck and/or karma today and had …

Songwriting
Songwriting is something I think about a lot. I think about it way more than I actually do it, which is indicative of how complex the process actually is (or how lazy I am?). We've had a couple days off the road in Houston, before heading to Dallas tomorrow, to relax …

Miss Wilbur
The last few days of tour have been more enjoyable since we discovered the solution to our ongoing Tourmobile saga. If the starter won't turn over, one simply must lie on their back under the car's engine and tap on the starter box while another turns the ignition. …

TOUR SEASON
We had an awesome tour kick-off last night at the Walnut Room in Denver. The club was recently named "best live sound in town", and we couldn't agree with the honor more. Check out the set list at the bottom.
Tonight we are playing in Colorado Springs at a club we've …
MOUNTAIN FROGS
Things are in full swing on tour with Frogs Gone Fishin'. We are on the fourth show of our 30+ date tour, in Vail, Colorado. Vail is a picturesque place, perfect for creativity and making music.
We have several exciting projects we are working on including:
-really cool …
First Leg
I'm writing this post from the car as we head into the mountains to play the Fat Tire Bike Festival.
We have four band members, a road manager, Jack, and a camera dude, Brian. Last night we saw our friends from New Orleans, Papa Grows Funk rip it up at the Fox theater. …
Lucky Gas and Arizona
Right after I wrote my last post via Crackberry while riding in the packed Tourmobile, we ran out of gas. At the top of steep and rocky Keebler Pass near Crested Butte in Colorado, we had no problem getting down the mountain. We coasted and coasted, passing bikers and …
Sunny Arizona
Frogs Gone Fishin' crossed our home state border into Arizona, land of cactus and heat. It is very hot here. The club we are playing at in Flagstaff, appropriately named The Green Room, is being very cool to us today.
They fed us dinner and helped us find green-friendly …
Phoenix Sun and Austin Lights
It is really funny how, on tour, your view of a city is oftentimes shaped by just a couple hours spent there. Flagstaff, AZ just became one of our favorite places to tour because we had a great night on Tuesday. The bar was crowded, people were dancing and the club …

broke and burnt at the border
Today we are in humble Raton, New Mexico, near the Colorado border.
Why, you ask? I just checked the calendar and Frogs are in the mountains tonight, right?? You guys start at 9pm, right?!?
When the funny noise under the hood sounded, we had just left Clayton, NM. Excited …
Austin Chill
This week will be a big one for For/Sure Productions as we continue to work on Mountainside Mardi Gras, our Red Rocks Fest planned for next August.
We are busy gathering and editing around eight contracts for bands ranging in price from 2k to over $30,000. We have to …

A Short Break
Frogs Gone Fishin' is on a short break until we play at Dulcinea's in Denver on the 9th with our friends Toasted Jelly. The days off are well deserved, as we played 15 shows in June, or roughly a show every other night in ten different cities.
Toasted Jelly, like several …

Summer Tour Part II
Good news and bad news this week as we start the second leg of our FGF summer tour.
As you might have read in a recent post, our cherished '94 Suburban has been having some technical difficulties. Turns out, we are in need of a new transmission, worth $3,000. This is …

Heading to the Midwest (Nebraska)
Hello from Hastings, Nebraska this morning...
Nebraska is really flat. Because it's so flat, and we did nothing but sleep off Monday's gig last night, I have no stimulating current events to write about. That makes me want to tell you about other, non-current events, …
