I’m writing you from my old hometown of Longtan, Taiwan. I’ve been here three nights already, and it still feels utterly surreal. I arrived Tuesday morning after a sleepless night flight from Melbourne via Singapore, watching awestruck as…
It’s only been three weeks since I wrote last, but I wanted to send out thanks to the kind folks who welcomed us on our run around Aotearoa just now, and let y'all know about some things coming…
If this just landed in your inbox, hallelujah! As the internet becomes increasingly enshittified, I still feel its democratic promise in old-fashioned stuff like websites that work and emails that tell you something. For starters, this one…
This Hobo Travelogue got started from 40,000 feet like many of them do, en route from Melbourne to a trippy two-day stopover in Brunei Darussalam that I’ll show-and-tell you about below. I’m finishing it from a second-floor apartment…
I’m writing you from the passenger seat, as Pamela pilots Roadetta on up to Driftpile, Alberta for the 45th annual North Country Fair. It’ll be my 27th or so, and my 20th year playing…
I started this Travelogue on a plane over Greenland, but I’m finishing it here in a temporary hideout in Maple Ridge, BC where we've been enjoying four days without drives. As you faithful readers know, I’m writing a…
Happy Solstice from our house to yours, and here’s wishing you health and happiness in this season and the year ahead. Pamela and I are holed up at home in Edmonton after three solid months of roads. We’ll…
After a month and a half adventuring Stateside, I’m writing from Georgian Bluffs, Ontario where we’ve been luxuriating in a rare break from the road. We landed here two days ago with our friends Clark and Ann, in…
I’m writing you from the passenger seat, bound for Omaha. I started this Travelogue yesterday in Mitchell, South Dakota, on our first day off from traveling since we got back on the road. Pamela and I hadn’t been…
This here’s a quick mid-summer howdy from Grande Prairie, Alberta, where I’m just starting a van-camping solo run through the Peace Country. For the TL;DR crowd, here are my gigs at a glance:
I’m writing from home, at last, where familiar boreal birds are singing, our washing's hanging on the line, and Pamela's happily digging away in the dirt. A nesting pair of robins built a little hidden home in…
If you've been on here a while, you know these Hobo Travelogues usually involve a meandering tale of my past month's rambles, and you'll be completely unaccustomed to anything like…
It's been three months since my last Hobo Travelogue, and the doorstep of this new year feels like a good place to send a little note from. Marking another lap around the sun reminds me of all I…
Would you believe it's October and we're still on the road?!? We're in Ithaca, New York to play my agent Lara's new concert series Beacon on Aurora tonight, then we're winding our way circuitously homeward via Louisville, Kentucky…
Wherever this finds you, I'm grateful that you're on the receiving end of these Hobo Travelogues. As long-term subscribers know, I usually try to send 'em out once a month or so, to toot the horn about upcoming…
I've been struggling to get a Travelogue together for a while now, but the pace of tour down here hasn't left me much free time or mental real estate. I'm currently at the halfway point of a Festival…
