why 40 days? why 40 cities? why 40 shows?
These are the answers I am looking for.
In the spirit of risking everything... I am stepping in to a journey that even I myself, find to be crazy.
On September 1st, I will travel to 40 cities over 40 days, with my piano, a webcam, and a hope. to love and be loved,... with the broken and the joyful. I will play for whoever will listen.
Each day... I'll wake up and search for an unknown location that will have me. Each day... I'll post / twitter the address of where I'll be playing... as soon as I find out.
Feel free to show up wherever & whenever. Every day will be different... your guess will be as good as mine.
From truckstops to taco stands,... to rehabs and pubs,... from churches to strip clubs,... to backyard parties and everything in between. I'll have no idea what will happen, or how each day will play out until I get there.
So why am I doing this? well... I recorded a new album this year. The normal thing for an artist to do is go out and promote the new project... but promoting costs money... which I don't have.
But the one thing I've never wanted to see,... is money getting in the way of loving people,... and making art.
So in the process of a million meetings I realized its not all about money. I'll need money to make it through these 40 days... but should I not go... just because I don't have money? If it's truly about making art and loving people... and getting out of bed and doing something about it... Well then... the time has come.
I will be in search of one thing... What does it mean to risk everything... and what does it look like when you allow faith to do what faith does?
I hope to see you out on the road along the journey.
May we never give up! May we never stop risking everything!
