Jan and I are heading to the US for three weeks in September. The flights to and from have been booked and I have almost a week of work in and around Boulder first (may even drive by Mork and Mindy's house (RIP Robin Williams). We will be arriving on a Friday night and on the Saturday heading to the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater to catch the likes of Anders Osbourne
whom I blogged about here and Robert Cray. After a week of work we head up the I-70 to Beaver Creek for another festival and this time catch Dawes, Patty Griffin and Jason Isbell
whom I blogged about here.
From there we are heading south to the homes of blues, country and soul music. We will go to the Crossroads in Clarkesdate, Tipitinas in New Orleans, Stax Studios in Memphis and Fame and Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama, The Ryman in Nashville and if we can make it work a few nights in Austin and hopefully catch one of Billy Joe Shaver's 75th annivesary gigs.
All the time driving with an appropriate playlist.
It's a trip I have always wanted to make - still some organising to do - but it is coming together - there will be some blogs.
