Hey homies, I got two things to tell ya:

1.  When I was in Toronto last month, I made another Southern Souls video for a new song of mine called “The Fan.”  Mitch Fillion shot it and that’s Thom Gill playing and singing with me.

2.  All of a sudden, I’m getting all busy again.  Here are the tour details I’ve got so far, below.  Stay tuned for stuff like Spain, Netherlands, and far out parts of Canada.

What else?  I took some pictures on last month’s Beat the Heat tour.  There is a bluejay bullying a plain brown bird out of the fig tree outside our house.  Our house is newly, wonderfully yellow, with an amazing new patio (we miss you, Danny & Carrie).  Paul and I recorded out at Blue Rock yesterday and looked out over the most beautiful hill country valley.  I’ve been writing and sort’ve maybe co-writing too, I think.  And feeling pretty good.  Hope you are too.

xo Devon

As you can see, a bunch of the upcoming dates are with Thom Gill.  Here’s a picture of us from the video shoot. And in case you missed it above, here’s us playing that new tune of mine.  Thom had just heard it for the first time, like, twenty minutes before we recorded it!  Holy moly, right?  Thanks so much to Mitch Fillion for the beautiful video.
