Omnibus tour spam / new non-looping release

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

I leave for CA on Thursday to start my 33-date tour of the southwest and 
northeast US. Along the way I'll have the good fortune to be playing 
with a number of list members: Ted Harms, Michael Klobuchar, Dennis 
Moser, Tim Nelson, Emile Tobenfeld, and of course with Jim Goodin as 
Chinapainting. I would dearly love to meet other people along the way.

A good portion of the shows are loop-oriented (that is, cassette loop 
improv), the others are half-singing/half-instrumental sets. The singing 
stuff is quasi-flamenco-indie-acoustic-pop, the instrumentals are 
eclectic but have a toe in flamenco, minimalist, new folk, 
what-have-you. I'll be playing a lot of tunes from my brand-new solo 
guitar release "As Promised". More about that, with clips, here:
