I have two gigs this weekend. That fact shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, but where they are might be a surprise.

I’m playing in Yakima. For the first time since 1995, and for the first time as a true professional musician. I have to admit that it’ll be a little surreal for me.

I’ll be playing with Chad Bault, who moved to Portland from Yakima about five years ago, but recently moved back. It’s the perfect situation to go back to Yakima for; to play with a bunch of good friends, to see my Mom-N-Stepdad, and then to be able to come back home at the end of it all.
