It’s nice to see another record that I played on being listed in @rollingstone in the 40 Best Country/Americana Albums. This year, it’s the @willhoge album “My American Dream”. Lots of great stuff on this year’s list, including our tour buddy @ryanculwell coming in at #26 with his album “The Last American”. It’s really cool being surrounded by people who are doing great work, and I’m very lucky to be included the process. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYaqvwhqr9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ipfwopdxwy6i

I decided to join the legendary drummer hat club. Thanks to @lemuel.wav for coming through with the custom order. Go check out his other hats at @nelson_drum_shop and buy a vintage drum kit while you’re there. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_L0brB077/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oc8zz3fthupt

Now that I’ve been home for a minute, I gotta do the end-of-tour post. The @willhoge fall tour was an absolute blast. The past seven weeks really flew by. So.... a huge thank you to @willhoge @thomdonovan @arrogantbass and our various crew people on this run: @travisfnstephens @jsdstone @dlgordo @harrisonedwards and Scott “El Gato” Robinson. Our tour mates @ryanculwell and @ponybradshaw And a HUGE thank you to @socialdistortion (@mikeness @jonnytwobags @dhidalgojr #brentharding) and their crew for the fun shows and long conversations about guitars, amps, bands, etc. I can’t wait to do it all again.

In Oklahoma, it’s common to find lawn care equipment, ATV’s, and trailers made out of old pickup truck bodies in the backstage area. (at Diamond Ballroom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVQ-osBLr2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mmnlhy0eh79q
