TBAY - country rock primitive one man experiment

TBAY Summer Tour

Hello everyone! I've just returned from the last leg of the "Barbed Times" tour; a journey that took me toSouthern France, with a quick encroachment in the Basque Country and Spain... Although everything started off with somebody crashing my car glass in Torino just before we left, the rest of the ride was smooth and fun, and the weather conditions - very important thing - were comfortably/reassuringly sunny with high temperatures...

Thanks everyone for welcoming me and my friend/sound-engineer/driver/roadie Gigi at any place we stopped by, we really enjoyed it!

Other than this - we might call it "warm up" or whatever - it looks like I'm gonna have a busy Summer playing around and burning lots of kilometers!

First off, Italy. Starting next week I'll be playing a series of shows in the Northern, North-Eastern and Central part of the "boot", taking part in the Mezcal Festival in Jesi on my way to Rome, where I will join my buddies The Restless Livers Collective to perform a show as a trio at Illustration and Comics Festival "Crack" at CSOA Forte Prenestino. A few days later, I will litterally embark on a ferry ride heading to Sardinia and play theJailbreak Festival in Cagliari, opening for the legendary Zeke!  14.6 – Rovereto (TN) @ Circolo Paganini 15.6 – Arco sul Garda (TN) Ai Conti 16.6 -  Montebelluna (I) @ Mezanino 17.6 - Jesi @ (I) Mezcal / Jack Rabbit 18.6 - Macerata (I) @ Spulla 22.6 - Roma (I) @ CSOA Forte Prenestino /Crack 27.6 - Cagliari (I) - Jailbreak Festival w/ Zeke The end of July will see me play a bunch of gigs in Italy, again, to then head back to France for another string of shows on the way to the Binic Folks Blues Festival in Bretagne!
