We’re halfway through the tour and high atop a mountain in Virginia. Check out our very first video tour blog entry, complete with some select folk songs for the occasion.

We walked into the St. Charles Saloon in Columbia, CA for a sarsaparilla and found these talented bros busking the bar, midday. They call themselves The Brothers Strong and their sibling harmonies and songwriting were off the hook! My fav was a new one called “The Trouble With Time” that could have been a new Avett’s or Dawes song. Looking forward to reconnecting with these folks.

Darrell Scott is one of our heroes so we were stoked when Eric and Cindy asked us to warm up the crowd for their SYLA Presents house concert with none other than: Darrell Scott! We got to talk with him about songwriting, guitars and touring with Robert Plant and the Band of Joy. Awesome.

When Jacob and I showed up for our set at a small private music festival in Lake County, CA we had no idea what to expect or who we might be playing for… or with…

Turns out activist folk-rock legend Bruce Cockburn was in attendance, and while he wasn’t there to “work” officially, he had agreed to perform a few songs in a “song swap” with us after dinner. We were, of course, honored and even had an hour or so during sound check to work out some harmonies and collaborations with Bruce on his songs and ours. We went back and forth, trading tunes and getting the audience of 200 to sing and clap along. The ending number, Bruce’s “Waiting For A Miracle”, was truly magical; Jacob took an epic mandolin solo and we even managed a sweet little 3-part harmony on the choruses.

We got to hang with Bruce and his partner MJ a bit more at breakfast the next morning and heard some amazing stories. Needless to say it was a fortuitous and inspiring turn of events and we were so glad to have been invited into the experience.

We were stoked to finally get to see Tony Furtado live with his band, and even more stokeder to get to sit in on a final jam with him. The song was John Prine’s “Paradise” and here’s a picture of that special moment.
