TRAINWRECK of GLITTER TOUR!

Tomorrow continues our crazy tour! We are headed out to Idaho and then Utah for a fast and furious adventure!

"We met in a trainwreck of glitter that gave the world a little kick...." is one of the lines from SeaStar's song "Gypsy". In true gypsy fashion, disguises and all, SeaStar is traveling to seek family and friends in places with big rocks, dinosaurs, potatoes, trains, and vikings! Sounds appropriate! The Trainwreck of Glitter Tour focuses on the gypsy heart and the true essence that music brings us together in ways that feels like family.

"...When the life is gypsy friendly, when you're with us, you are family and your family is the place that you call home." So join us, to tell those you know to join us for a nights of stories and songs that will get your toes dancing, your heart beating, and bring a smile to your soul. We are all on this journey together... let SeaStar bring a little glitter to it for a brief while.

Tumbleweed Music Fest

We started our month by heading over to Richland, WA for the annual Tumbleweed Music Festival. We had a great time meeting up with folky friends and soaking up time near the mighty Columbia River.
I was part of the Songwriting Contest with my tune, Bittersweet Rubbish. It won the People's Choice award! I am sooo humbled and honoured! There were some truly great performers and songs this year!

While at Tumbleweed, we made the music video for Gypsy. Its silly and very fun, sort of how we usually live our lives. Music is a catalyst for good times. We certainly do not have a shortage of those in this band. Thanks to Ron for wearing not one but two different wigs and a dress, and to Falcone for doing a great job on the edits.

First stop on the Trainwreck...
The Slippery Pig

We kicked off the tour in the Viking town of Poulsbo at the Slippery Pig. We had a blast playing for folks and adding Pirate-lore to things since it was "Talk Like A Pirate Day". Many thanks to Michael Raley for running sounds and joining us on a couple of tunes!

Second Stop .. The Black Dog

We started the second day of the tour playing at the Bothell Farmers' Market. It was a very West Coast day with the looming rain in the distance. Luckily we stayed dry all day.
The show at the Black Dog was fun! Jay gave us great sound and Cristie took care of us like rockstars, dishing up some delicious food. The crowd was fun and we brought out the kazoos... Always a party with kazoos.

Next Stop... Moscow, Idaho

Tomorrow we head out to Moscow to play for the Palouse Folklore Society. We are so excited to be on the road again. It has been toooooo long!

I will post a full report when we return.

Oh.. We booked our dates for the studio.

A new record is coming! Stay tuned!!

Much love and gratitude,
