Huge thanks to the MSAB, and to the amazing voters of Minnesota for passing the Legacy Amendment, which provides funding to this great state's artists. I'm so lucky to have ended up here - I don't even care that it's freezing outside.

Bonnie and Clyde Album is moving forward...
I am thrilled to announce that the Minnesota State Arts Board has awarded me an Artist Initiative Grant to produce and release "Amoratorium," a collection of poems and songs about Bonnie and Clyde, on VINYL. The poems will be printed as a chapbook in the liner notes.

"ECHOLALIA" EP RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!!
This album is something genuinely special. Danny Vitali and I tracked and mixed it in two glorious days at Tiny Telephone Studio in San Francisco, where tUnE-yArDs, The Mountain Goats, Okkervil River, and many other awesome bands have made their records in recent years. I couldn't be happier with how it came out, and I can't wait to share it with the world.
Details here.

Next week: THE BIGGEST SHOW EVER
No big deal, you guys. But Brian Laidlaw & the Family Trade is playing at the Minnesota State Fair GRANDSTAND next Wednesday, as part of the Walker Art Center's Internet Cat Video Festival. The event is nearly sold out, so grab your tickets now if you wanna go. And then come see us on the giant stage, simulcast on the Jumbo-tron screen, followed by millions of kittens.

Eureka, California and Hill City, South Dakota
My summer travels are wrapping up, and I've got one more northward and eastward swing through America before settling back into the Twin Cities for a crazy autumn of shows and recording.
On August 16, I'm playing at the Siren Song Tavern in Eureka, and on August 23 I'm playing at Prairie Berry Winery in South Dakota (with some adventuring in between, obviously). Should be a lovely way to close out the summer...

Rock the Link and more!
I'm also opening up for Ryan Ruff Smith's EP release at the Fine Line tomorrow - he's an MFA fiction writer and a great dude, and my doppelganger.
