Wurzburg

CIMG0500I’m writing this to you from our hotel bar in Wurzburg, where I am enjoying a pint of the local “Wurzburger” beer. This might be my favourite city yet. It’s full of amazing old castles on hills, cathedrals, and our hotel is right across from a beautiful river that seems to separate the city into two sides. And finally the weather cleared up tonight so I got to see the sunset over the river and light up the old buildings so perfectly. I played at a “Singer/songwriter Jamboree” at Cafe Cairo tonight. It was probably the fewest people I’ve played for on this tour, but I played in a courtyard outside (my first outdoor performance of the patio season!), and I got to meet some amazing and talented musicians. Which is absolutely one of the best parts of this job. I shared the bill with Markus Rill and Stefan Saffer from Germany, Laura Bean from Kentucky, and Annika Fehiling from Sweden. Soooo awesome. Only 3 more gigs left, and

I’m seriously not ready for this tour to end!! I think I am officially cut out for life on the road, which is good to know. It’s different here from home, in more ways than driving 180km/hr on the highway and drinking beers in the street. It’s different in a good way, and I wouldn’t mind at all touring Europe for a couple of months! Off to Marburg tomorrow to play at Molly Malones!
