Due to the fact that we’re very brave, we’re headed up north at the end of February! We’ll be a duo for this trip, with myself - Mike Adams - on electric guitar and singing, and Jessica on electric piano. It’s been very fun preparing for these shows so far, and I’m enjoying the new Two Person arrangements of some of these old songs. We’ll also have some new merch with us, and the kids will be with their grandparents, so we’re looking to party.
All of these dates (except 2/15) will be with Austin, Texas’ Star Parks. The dates are below, tickets and additional info is at MikeAdams.info/tour
FEB 15 - SAT - The Blockhouse - Bloomington, IN

Hi! I’m happy and excited to report that we’ve just added a New Orleans, LA show to our upcoming Southern Tour Dates! It’s a very cool, intimate show at The Parker Barber. A limited number of tickets are available for this one, so I HIGHLY recommend grabbing them early if you’d like to attend. And I’d sure love to see you there!
Tickets are $12, and can be purchased RIGHT HERE:
Once you purchase a ticket(s), we’ll add your name to a will-call list and you can just show up at the show and tell us who you are! I’m very excited about this one!
The rest of the Southern Tour Dates can be found on this incredible poster made by our dude Evan Poirier! We’ll see you out there!!
I can’t believe this is true, but it is! Thanks to everyone who listened, and especially to those who bought a copy of There Is No Feeling Better in it’s first week of life, we actually made a couple of appearances on Billboard’s Famous Music Charts! Just truly unreal. I’m flattered and dumbfounded. Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to say that “Old Town Road” is and always has been a Country & Western song.

AND THAT’S NOT ALL!
Also, in support of There Is No Feeling Better, me and The Boys are hitting the road in September for a few midwest and east coast live dates! Here they are!

I’m very excited and honored that the incomparable, Aquarium Drunkard, invited me to participate in their ongoing Lagniappe Sessions series, for which I recorded 4 brand new cover songs. They’re all streaming and/or available to download (right click, “save as…”) RIGHT HERE alongside some words I jotted down about each tune. Please love them, ok? Here are the songs I covered:
“The Lights Go Down” - Electric Light Orchestra
”I’m Young” - Erin Tobey
”Lento” - Julieta Venegas
”All My Only Dreams” - The Wonders
ALSO!
Two days before There Is No Feeling Better came out, I went on our local community radio station, WFHB, and did an interview with Jessie Grubb (who also took this photo) which included me playing through about half the new record solo-acoustic style. The session is streaming and available for download now at WFHB.org if you’d like to hear it/have it!
