Right now everything is up in the air in regards to Europe. We have three shows confirmed:
6/17 in Spain
7/9 at the Cornbury Festival in the UK
7/10 in Dublin playing with Wilco in Town Centre

The June show was unexpected and may be a separate week of shows, completely separate from July. They may end up connecting, possibly with some duo shows in between, but that would make for a very long run in Europe. And with the economics of touring be more difficult in Europe it may not be realistic to do that long of a tour. We possibly could do some duo shows in between, but that remains to be seen. So what I’m saying is that as I type this it could go any number of different ways. Like i said above, everything is completely up in the air but we’ve got a start.

…we’ll thank you too Tom for your updates concerning the European dates specially of course the Spanish one at Azkena Rock Festival…of course we’ll be there !!!…no need to say it would be fantastic to have Lucinda performing duo shows across the territory but we’re aware about the difficulties, economic or others…

…by the way, Neil Young is performing in Barcelona two days after – June 20th – your show at ARF…just saying… 😉

What a wonderful show in Dublin tonight. Lucinda and the band were in great form, and the crowd really got behind them. A Sold Out, stuffed Vicar St venue compared to 3 years ago. Up there with any of the shows I’ve seen her do (about 15). And Stuart Mathis knocked the ball outta the park, as per the other times I’ve seen him.

I was delighted the new album was available at the Merch stand, CD & Vinyl. The vinyl comes with a download code where you can get MP3s and / or WAVs. I downloaded both: the MP3s are 96kbps. The WAVs are CD standard 16bit/44.1Khz, which also has an extra Radio Edit of “Dust”. It’s a great move to let us have the WAVs. All bands should do it that way, and I salute Lucinda & Tom for doing that: Thanks.

See you in London, and come back to Dublin more often please !

…glad to read it was a wonderful show BlueKoyote…you mean The Ghosts of Highway 20 was available at the merch stand ???…Stoooooooogeeeeeer !!!!!!!!…
