June solo dates in the Midwest supporting Dean Wareham and a quick BASIC tour in the Northeast:

4 solo dates in the Midwest next month, 3 w Dean Wareham & Band. Yes I will be taking my amp on the plane as carry on. My most pro DIY move. I always get a few thumbs ups + a “Niiiice” or two from fellow passengers.
