Let’s boogie, January!

Hey y’all, we’ve had a busy summer and fall, no? Well, it is time to take the show on the road. Ye olde wintry road perhaps. We are finishing up booking a tour from FL, up to DC, down to New Orleans, over to Austin, TX and back again to FL. We are trying to do as many house shows/homebrew showcase private parties as possible on this tour. Interested? Hit me up at [email protected]

TOUR DATES MARCH-...?

Check out the new tour dates I just posted in that section up at the top of this page, y'all. We're getting ready to load the ONE MAN BAND in the Honda Fit tour bus and head to FL & GA. This winter has been a rough one for myself and my wife Donna. Lots of tough life situations and cold, wet weather in Chattanooga make for seriously unhealthy living situations. 

That combo also makes the prospect of going to FL in March and again later in April... (to be announced)...sooooo VERY inviting to us. We cannot wait to bathe our pasty bodies in the warm southern sun, sweat, swim in the ocean and share art!

Listen for some brand spankin new songs as well as some reworking of some other new songs. I'm excited to share all of it. See you soon, friends.

Tour readiness

Sooooo many things to do when you're looking at running up & down the east coast for a month!!! It's here, folks! And, just like U2 does- I'm rehearsing- getting the muscle memory back in top shape to save the world one note at a time- see all my dates & TBA's here: https://m.facebook.com/events/1422917211295519 please spread the word, y'all.

SPRING EAST COAST TOUR, FOLKS!

I think I'm gonna call this one- the "ON MY OWN TWO FEET TOUR" I am going to be headed up & down the EAST COAST twice between APRIL 11 & MAY 17 with the one man band show. Hitting just about every major market with only 3-4 days off. This is gonna be super fun. I will be unveiling 2 more brand new songs that will be on the new album. Speaking of the new album, we've almost secured a studio & are about to secure a producer for the 1st time! Stay tuned as dates get posted & album details get released. Sign up for the mailing list as I have already released some new song demos exclusive only to mailing list members. 

I hope to see you soon! Be well, Lauris

On the secret tip, I am working hard to polish up 5 new songs to debut this week. Some of you long-time friends have heard how my songs grow up & out the more they are played live. I'm excited for you to hear them as infants NOW.

On the road tip- I am also in the works with planning a big winter tour, so let me know if you want me to come to your town. You can always reach me at [email protected]

MARCH/APRIL/MAY TOURS

Good day there friends. I'm updating my show schedule right here on the very same desktop that this blogpost is being created on. I'm getting SUPER excited as I look at these life-sharing nights ahead. I want to take a minute to highlight a few of the dates:

APRIL 1- DAMION SUOMI & the MINOR PROPHETS album release at the SOCIAL in Orlando (details at www.thesocial.org )

I couldn't believe more in a pack of articulate-wild-dawg-rag-tag-rawkers than DS & the MINOR PROPHETS. This is honestly going to be a night you will literally kick yourself & probably be kicked by all of your friends if you miss it. So, save yourself some kicking and make it to this!

MARCH 25-APRIL 23 KELLEY MCRAE & LAURIS VIDAL SOUTHEAST TOUR- there are way too many shows in this to highlight. So many are shaping up to be all-time, just watch our calendars & social media updates CLOSELY & don't miss any show within 2 hours of you, you're gonna love this.

APRIL 24-MAY 14- LAURIS VIDAL SOLO tour- I'm going to hit all of my favorite towns & venues mostly to work out the songs for a new album & share them with you.

There is actually a few more tour dates coming after this, but I'll just keep it to this. Thanks for reading friends, see you soon! Be well -LV

FL PALEFACE tour starts today!

This is gonna be fun, with both myself & PF touring behind new albums, I will be opening for PF on 5 of their FL shows. Most exciting for me is a long awaited return to S FL next week. Not to mention hitting a few of my favorite 2nd homes in G'VILLE, TAMPA & ORLANDO. I really look forward to seeing family & friends in the next week. See you at the show! -LV
