September Tour: Day 10 (Winston-Salem)

Yesterday, was the 10th and final day of the Dolson September Tour, and even though it was actually October, Day 10 was invited to join the rest of the stretch to sit under the name of September.

For the most part, yesterday was a rest day, which was much needed after days of driving on little sleep.

For my last evening in Winston I got to meet up with Jerry Chapman (The Mediocre Bad Guys), and I even got to meet my friend Josh Smith (who played the Samson Killa-ma-jigger on my album) well, his older brother Jeremiah.

We were all chillin at The Garage for open mic, hoping I’d get a chance to play just for the heck of it. I always figure, if you’re in town, you should always find a place if you don’t have anything booked. The only problem was we didn’t realize it was such a big deal, and you had to have signed up days earlier. Oh well, we stayed in case a spot opened up, and just about at the end of the night, I heard the host yelling my name. I got to play one song while a band set up behind me, but it went over pretty well, and i think i’ll be able to get some people out to the show if I book something in Winston on my return trip this November.

So today, I’m heading back to Ohio. Back to the cold from what I hear. It’s been in the 60′s and 70′s and sunny in NC, so I guess I’ll have to bundle up for the drive home.

I’ve got a few days off to catch my breath and it’s off to Chicago with Pete Nischt. Check out the songs, “Back to the Start” and “Said It All” that we recorded at my home studio back in Ohio.
