I made a ( ) dancing hand man outta my own hands for this truly fabulous show happenin tonight in Appleton. I picture dancing hand man as doing the Tequila dance, although I could also imagine a few other steps that I don't quite know what to call (I'm not a choreographer per se)

One of the rare gigs plays in our hometown each year. If you're in town, join us tonight at !

About nine years ago a lil label from Minneapolis commissioned me to make a seasonal album. It was kind of a dream come true honestly. A couple of the songs were old super rough demos and the rest of them I wrote and recorded in about a week (that's my favorite way to make an album). It's got its highs and lows, things I would change or leave off if I could do it all over again and stuff that I listen to and think.. despite the flaws, it represents winter in Northeast Wisconsin the way I want it to.

I forget to mention it as the years pass. It's been out of print for a long time now. I'm always daydreaming of a creative way to reprise this material though- maybe not a reissue per se, but a reimagining in some form or another. A few years ago a country star from my youth reached out to tell me they were a fan of the album, that it was a source of warmth for them. We traded our respective Xmas records through the mail that year. It made me realize that maybe people outside of WI could connect with its theme more than I intended.

When you know s**t is getting real
