Welcome to www.colinlake.blogspot.com - I've set this blog up to keep people posted and occasionally interested as I travel from Portland, OR to New Orleans, LA and beyond...
I'm writing tonight (this morning) from McCall, ID. I'm touring with my friend Alex Weed, whom I met about six months ago when we played a series of shows in Oregon and Washington.
The tour began on Friday when Alex flew into Portland just in time to open our show at Dante's in downtown Portland. Local blues band Kolvane played after Alex, and I closed the night out with my band Wellbottom - it was my last show in Portland for five months.
The next morning Alex and I loaded everything up and hit the road headed east. Most of my possessions are being stored at my mom's house in Leavenworth, WA and I'm traveling with the things that I need for my tour and my stay in New Orleans - that includes five guitars, an amp and a variety of other gear.
Last night we played Crusty's Pizza here in McCall, ID - it was my second time performing there and we were happy to be as well received as the last time. Due to a cancellation in Boise (thanks to a problem with the Bouquet's liquor license), we stayed in McCall. We were invited to play an impromptu show at Foresters, a large venue here in town. The night went remarkably well and we made a ton of new and wonderful friends. We plan on skiing Brundage Mountain for a few hours in the morning.
Headed to Caldwell, ID to play Music of the Vine tomorrow evening.
