threw a tepid punch and ran
Hello hello from gorgeous Kansas City where the leaves are popping and the air is brisk. I’m writing to you from my happiest of places, in the living room on a PEMF mat, coffee warm in the mug, dogs sleeping by my side, in the quiet solitude of morning. I’ve been receiving all the good energy around Snocaps and appreciate it so much. I typically don’t like to write a newsletter that’s sheerly for self-promotional purposes but today I’ll make an exception to give some semblance of a disclaimer for what we have planned.
We are announcing a short tour today and I am so excited to bring this album to you live. Allison, Brad, Jake and myself will be accompanied by my frequent collaborator Colin Croom and we will, at this moment in time, only be coming to Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. When we first started talking about taking this show on the road we very intentionally chose the venues, the cities, the support bands and I can say now that Allison and I have rather meticulously discussed the setlist as well. It’s beautiful to see it all coming to fruition and it’s feeling really warm and fuzzy and nostalgic. The old is feeling new, the songs I wrote when I was 19 that once cringed me out way too much to revisit are sounding fresh and sweet and good again. So all of that is to say, yes, we will be playing some P.S. Eliot songs. Yes, we will be playing some Swearin’ and AC solo songs. Yes, we will be playing some Waxahatchee songs from the first 4 albums. No, we will not play anything from the last 5 years aside from the entire Snocaps album. I say that to excite you, to answer some questions you may have as you decide whether or not to buy a ticket. I like to be a little mysterious in how I present my offerings to you. This feels like a fun thing to let you all the way in on. I can’t say this will be all we’ll do but it is genuinely all that we have planned right now. This project, in all its enmeshment and entanglement with family and friendship and frequent collaboration admittedly feels ripe for recurrence. We’ll see! For now, if this show sounds up your street then get a ticket while the gettin’ is good.
OH! and we are also officially playing Sky Blue Sky in mid-January as well which is sadly sold out but it’s a fun little tidbit for those attending!
So that’s really it today. A short statement about a 6 show run in early December. On Halloween the core SC band got together with some of our dearest friends and fam, had cake, wore somewhat phoned-in costumes and as the night got later we played the whole record in Brad’s garage, more or less from memory. It got me so hyped to play these songs live and so happy we decided to see this little pipe dream all the way through. Tickets are on sale Friday.

More soon!
