I signed the EV contracts and sent them out today. After very little negotiations, I will be an EV artist for at least a year. The contract was very fair and honestly the best one I’ve ever seen. My attorney said it was all good. I think he may have wanted to argue over a few things but I told him I was comfortable with the agreement. What does this mean for me? Well EV is a label that helps their artists help other people through music. Imagine that. Music as an instrument of social change! Right now EV is in Myanmar building a recording studio and helping out in the surrounding area. I will get to be apart of this. I will also be recording some new songs, playing some benefit shows, and gaining some national exposure.

Any way, until next time!

Many Blessings,

Rob

After two and a half weeks driving up and down the coast I’m back in the little town of Santa Cruz. Along the way I met some good people, saw some wonderful sites, and listened to some great local songwriters. I’ll definitely do this again next summer.

There are a couple towns I must revisit like Ashland, Eugene, and Bellingham. Ashland was a friendly place with some great local songwriters. Bluegrass and folk was the thing over there. I will forgive them for their bad pizza (I went to three places) only because of the microbrews on tap. Luckey’s in Eugene was a surprising hot spot for a weekday show at 10:30pm. Both the pool tables and the bar were full that night with some very inviting locals. I thought this California boy was gonna get a little attitude, but nothing at all. Very cool people. Bellingham was my favorite town. We ate at a wonderful place on the main strip that over looked the ocean. We had ice cream that we bought out of an old broken down bus that was made into a ice cream and yogurt stand. That night I played the “The Green Frog Acoustic Tavern.” The choice of brew was great. The “Triple Belgian” and “Scottish Ale” were most memorable. Made a lot of friends that night. I should have some pictures up soon.

North West Summer Tour and festivals are booked for this summer! New songs will be played, sun will be shining, and wine will be flowin’. I have a few new players for this summer session of gigs so make sure to do your best to come out and see what happens live. The synergy during rehearsal has been quite an infectious vibe.

See you there
