Another tour I won't be working

Well John (aka Five For Fighting) will be hitting the road this fall. It will be an acoustic tour, with John and guitarist Greg Suran. I have not spoke to him (John) directly. I did talk to the sound engineer/tour manager who will be working with him on this tour. The full band will probably not tour until 2010. I will not be out on the acoustic tour.

Anyway here are the dates if you haven't seen them.

18-Oct Toronto, ON El Mocambo
20-Oct New York, NY City Winery
22-Oct Bay Shore, NY (Long Island) YMCA Boulton Center
23-Oct Uncasville, CT The Wolf Den
24-Oct Washington, DC Jammin Java
26-Oct Boston, MA The Paradise
27-Oct Philadelphia, PA World Café Live (downstairs)
29-Oct Nashville, TN The Belcourt
30-Oct Chicago, IL Lakeshore
3-Nov Salt Lake City, UT The State Room
5-Nov Seattle, WA Crocodile
6-Nov Portland, OR Aladdin Theater
10-Nov San Francisco, CA Swedish American Hall
11-Nov Los Angeles, CA Largo at the Coronet

As for me. I will be in Memphis in September with Eyrkah Badu working as her lighting director. I am covering for her regular LD on the show.

Also I was contacted about another tour in October. I was asked to send in a resume and so now it's wait and see.

Spending for the future



Summer continues to be slow but at least there has been a bit of work. I'm still working for a regional production company. I just spent a couple days in Buffalo at HSBC. We provided sound and lights for a religious speaker.

I also have some one offs coming up in September covering for another lighting director friend of mine.

I'm thinking of buying some lighting gear and renting it out through the company I have been working for. Most likely a lighting console would be my first purchase. I plan to continue to tour for now but I need to create some other income for the down times. Besides I eventually want to get off the road.

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
