Hi everyone,
Tour has been going really well. We just finished up a couple of great shows in Denver and Boulder with the fabulous poet Andrea Gibson. Now we are finally back on East Coast time and making our way to Memphis. Thanks to everyone who has come out to support in the last month and a half. Its been great meeting so many new people and also seeing so many with familiar faces. Special thanks to back-up/fiddle diva Merrill Garbus for making the first half of tour extra fabulous We were very sad to see go but she had to return home for prior commitments. Now, we are looking forward to the last few weeks of tour in the Southeast, including my Nashville debut, shows in Asheville and Chapel Hill, and opening for Michelle Malone in Atlanta!
NEWS ETC.:
-ATLANTA/CHARLOTTE:
This weeks Atlanta show at Eddies Attic has been moved to Sat. the 25th because I was offered a slot opening for Michelle Malone! Sadly, this means that we had to cancel the show at the Evening Muse in Charlotte, but we will hopefully be back there in the fall!
SISTER SPIT:
- For those of you in the Northeast, Andrea Gibson, aforementioned amazing poet, will be flying out from Colorado for several dates in July, including a co-bill with me (July, 14th at The Elevens for Sister Spit Northampton). This is going to be a great show so be sure to come out! (more info www.chrispureka.com)
-FALCON RIDGE:
I have been offered a slot at the Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist Showcase (Friday, July 22nd). This is a really cool opportunity at an amazing festival (one of my personal favorites I have been going since I was 16).
**Audience members vote and the winning artists get to return next year for a full set.**
So if you are coming out to the festival (and you should Dar and Ani headline this year), please vote for me so that I can come back next year! (www.falconridgefolk.com)
