G. Love tour diary - Flying High

Well, I'm flying high, flying home. Wait, I'm not going home yet, I'm going to Chicago, but, I finished my big summer tour. We ended with a bang, too. A sick show at Red Rocks followed by the perfect afternoon at the Blues and Brews fest in Telluride, Co.  I woke up the other morning at Red Rocks and I could hear the rain pounding on the bus. What a bummer. But sure enough, the day went on and the skies cleared and by show time the rain was gone. The waxing moon shone full in the skies for a...  read more

G. Love tour diary - Lollapalooza wrap-up

So, I'm out here on the never ending road, the road that keeps going and going.  As a matter of fact its been going for 15 years.  Damn, that's a pretty long time. Ahh the places I've been…you name it just about every big city and small town in this god-fearing country. I play the hip hop blues. Please don't say, "I love that kind of music" if you've never heard of me before because, not to sound like a jerk, but I'm the only one who plays the hip hop blues. So on Sunday I had the great honor...  read more
