Order the New Album, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME out NOW!
I have the unique honor and privilege of playing a solo set at Safeco Field tonight for "Do206 Night" right before our beloved home team, The Seattle Mariners, go head to head with the San Diego Padres. What an trip! Think I can finally convince Fernando Rodney that "Swift Arrows" should be his theme song? :)
Event info is HERE. Pics to follow!

WE ARE SO HONORED to be a part of the 2013 Seattle Musicians for Children’s Hospital (SMooCH) sponsored by KEXP and Sub Pop. On Saturday, December 14th, a stellar lineup of northwest acts will again donate performances to raise funds for Seattle Children’s with a special concert and auction at Showbox at the Market.
Shelby Earl The Lonely Forest The Helio Sequence Allen Stone AND JUST ANNOUNCED: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis!!!
The event is now officially SOLD OUT, but those who can’t attend and still want to support the cause are encouraged to make a donation at Seattle Children’s instead of buying tickets.
What an AMAZING way to end the year!

See you soon, New York! Show details here.
The fine folks over at Lively recorded our Sept. 4th show at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle and for just $4.99 you can download high quality recording of the entire show, which includes an impromptu appearance by Burn the Boats-producer John Roderick singing with me on "At the Start." Learn more about Lively and download the show here...
SEE YOU AT 1:45PM TODAY (SUNDAY, SEPT. 1ST!) AT THE PLAZA STAGE!!!
There's so much to say about this night and yet so little NEEDS to be said. It will be one of good tunes, good pals, good brews and a WHOLE lot of love. We will be celebrating the last show for the amazing Rusty Willoughby and Rachel Flotard of Cobirds Unite before they head off to Austin for SXSW (they will also be joined by Bloodshot Rec's Maggie Bjorklund on pedal steel!), plus the coming out party for Shelby Earl (+band)'s d...ebut solo album, Burn The Boats (produced by John Roderick!), and another night of general awesomeness for Ballard's own Jason Dodson (of the Maldives) and Friends.
Buy tickets HERE (they're selling fast, get them now!)

I had the pleasure of opening for the one and only Loudon Wainwright (yes, he's the papa of Rufus and Martha!) at the beautiful Triple Door in Seattle on January 23rd. Mike and Anna-Lisa (of Hannalee) and I had a spectacular time playing for the sold-out crowd and then sitting back to enjoy Loudon's brilliant set. He is truly a master! I learned a lot from him. Thanks all for a great night!
