The Dirty Rain Revelers

Lots happening for The DRR this spring/summer!

We just finished filming two scenes with NCIS: New Orleans (Airs Tuesdays on CBS).  We'll give y'all a heads up when our episode airs, but it should be in the next few weeks, in May 2018.  It was an absolute pleasure working with the whole crew; nothing but nice things to be said for these hard-working folks!!!

The two songs we performed on the show - I've Seen and Pick Out Your Own Cloud - will also be on our upcoming duo record (in the process of recording…

2018 has snuck up on us, and brought extreme cold (at least for us and what we're used to!).  Freezing temps are not the norm for our winter vibes.

This past year felt full of starts and stalls.  So many dreams and ideas we ponder and come up with...just seem to evaporate almost out of the starting gate.  I'll admit, it's difficult sometimes to be both the creator and the manager and activator/motivator.  And sometimes, it's just not the right time yet for an idea to fully manifest.  So with patience and…

The year is winding down, and the retail world is winding up.

A few upcoming shows are on the books, and as always, we're delighted to be invited for your house concert…

The last couple of months we've been playing catch up.  The time has flown by, and yet in certain ways, we're feeling like we haven't done very much.  That's the challenge and the balance as an artist; to keep the wheels spinning, the engine running, the canvas creating, the shows playing, all while trying to make rent. 

We're doing the best we can with what we've got.  I know you all are in the same boat in your own way, and probably feel like your time is stacked...like every minute of the day is…

16 shows, 23 days, 5,000 miles.

Mad love, beautiful places, amazing people.

So much gratitude to you all for the journey and the hope of tomorrow.

We'll be sorting photos and posting video from the tour soon....there's always a bit of work to do after the work and the play. 

We wouldn't trade it.
