As an indie artist, CD Baby has been my loyal companion and part of my career for many years. I was lucky enough to met the CD Baby people at the Folk Alliance international conference earlier this year and they emailed me a while ago and asked me to write a blog about how to plan and execute a US tour.

When I got the questions I felt like, hey, my answers will be sooo long it’ll turn into a book, because there’s just so much I’ve learned along the way and there’s so many details that I could include. But I tried to keep it brief so that you wouldn’t loose site of the purpose (or your excitment on planning your tour) halfway through all the tiedious details on how to get a US drivers license etc. I hope I covered the basic “need to knows” as well as some good tips for artists, touring or not, and the rest is out there in cyberspace if you google it 🙂 Read it here!

I’ve been yo-yoing around in the Midwest now for a while and I just wanted to share some new articles and interviews that’s popped up along the way. I’ve had some great receptions in South Dakota as well as Council Bluffs, IA. Actually Iowa has proved itself to be one of the productive states for me so far. A lot of great shows and attention! Here’s where you can read and listen in:
