I will miss my Harlem Sunset for the next 4 months while on the long and winding road, but I look forward to the Midnight Sun in Norway; the magical summer sunlight of the Netherlands that inspired so many Van Gogh paintings; the cool sun of Denmark; the brilliant hot sun of Spain and Italy and the unfamiliar (to me) light of France, Hungary and Lithuania; leading into the BLAZING August Sun of the good ol' USA; Wrapping up with the golden September Sun of Germany and Switzerland fading into the October Sun of autumn.
When I got off the road mid-march, prematurely thanks to acute bronchitis, June 20 felt so far away. Such is life lived on tour where the minutes count more crucially than the weeks that lead to months. In the case of this upcoming tour - that's 16 weeks (or 4 months straight!) of being away from "home," family, friends, my own bed and my baby kitties. :-( This will be my longest trek yet.
As many of my "road" friends now know - that's YOU Dear Audiences everywhere - I call home wherever I bear my heart & soul.
So - are you ready to let me let it all out?! Because I'm ready to stomp, sweat, swear, spit and scream like never before. I'm ready to get behind my new CD "BLISS AVENUE" and rock the SH*T out of it for you!!
THE QUESTION IS: WILL YOU JOIN ME?!
I can honestly say I'm more excited about this album than any of my previous recordings. They are all my "babies" but Bliss Avenue is me saying exactly what I needed to say, exactly how I wanted to say it. It's also an invitation to you all to join our worlds together and unite under the umbrella we share of pleasure/pain, suffering/joy, life/death, compassion, wisdom and MUSIC.
I can't do this without you and I don't want to ever stop doing this. So I NEED you!
Please check out my tour dates; Please buy my new cd (lyrics are printed in the art) and review it on iTunes & Amazon & Facebook, etc) ; Please spread the word; please follow me on Twitter; and PLEASE let's all be fu*king nice to each other and celebrate this short precious human life TOGETHER!
Together through MUSIC. It's a powerful conduit. We are all so interconnected.
To thank you in advance for your support, please enjoy a sneak preview of "Keep On Walkin'"
from "Bliss Avenue" due out on July 9th in the US and most of Europe, July 12th in Scandinavia and July 22nd in the UK.
Where do I begin and you end and vice versa?
We don't. We cannot exist without each other.
I hope you'll come exist with me. Otherwise it's gonna be pretty damn lonely!
Love Y'all,
Dana

I'll join you on three shows in DK (so far:))

This one is a highlight. The chicken pickin' grabs you and then the retro rhythm git holds you. That you on the backing vocals? Like it, sounds 60's, churchy.
