The huckleberries went into the freezer this week (along with my baseball team), so I suppose summer really is slipping away...  Glad to have a full, distracting calendar heading into fall and beyond. <skip to calendar>

 

The Bushwick Book Club - Seattle marks its one-year anniversary next month, and I’m joining the celebration with a digital-only release of my nine book-related songs from the past year: The Bushwick Book Club Demos, Vol. 1.  Enjoy works inspired by everything from Vonnegut to Slverstein, not to mention last year’s Narnia-inspired surprise holiday ‘hit’!

 

The album is available on my new Bandcamp site, where you can stream and purchase any song from the WW Catalog(ue) (including previously out-of-print material from the very early days).  On-stage, we’re presenting The Time Machine at NW Bookfest this weekend—touring the show through the King County Library system into the fall/winter—and The Shining for the year-anniversary/Halloween show October 27.  (I also wrote a li’l piece recently on the Book Club, which also released its own Volume 1 from the past year.)   http://wesweddell.bandcamp.com

 

I was honored in August to be interviewed and filmed for a year-in-review-of-Seattle-music documentary produced by the City of Music initiative.  No word yet on when/where it will air as this year’s awards ceremony was cancelled on account of the major recipients (Messrs. Vedder and Allen) being unable to attend...

 

Will be sneaking back to Oregon and into California soon—details below.  Hope folk’re well and weathering!
