Feet Firmly planted

After a few days of extensive traveling I am happy so say I am back on the ground in London Town.

The events that use to be happened so quickly yet remain in my memory. Tales of love told through the air-o-plane's movie screen. L'amour t'was I experienced as the distance from the land shown its face. Longing for my love was vaguely substituted by the gigs of the day. There were lots of connection made through the music. Possible talks of another James Blake and Marques Toliver tale in the possible European future.

Going to Australia with James Blake this Saturday

Sorry if you don't know, but I'm off to Australia this Saturday to play a week long tour with James Blake. All the shows are SOLD OUT but I figured I might as well inform all the Aussies that have been asking when will I be in the home land. 

Here are the dates

Marques Toliver

Sarah Versprille of Pure Bathing Culture and Ducks Fly Moon and little old me on the stage in Paris. It was my first performance in the city and I LOVED IT. Here’s a clip from the show.

Completed my 3 day support tour with Wild Beasts!

The tour took place in America. The plane landed in Philadelphia and as soon as I walked of the aircraft I could instantly feel the vast temperature change compared to London. Philly was so hot and humid, felt like Floridian heat. Jumped on a train to take me to Rittenhouse Square were I met up with Alyssa. Crashed at Alyssa during my one in a half day stay. The following day I did an interview/performance with WXPN Radio. That session was recorded in a studio. The auto harp was plugged in for the set but I  opted to let the violin sing out naturally with amplification coming only from my vocal mic. The interview should hit the air ways and internet in the upcoming months. Next on the list was to do a sound check and play the show at The World Cafe. As for the my performance that night I felt as if it was a 3 on scale from 1 to 5. 

After the show, managed to set aside some time to work and jam with local Philly artist, Jamil Kayin. He makes music and rides a mean bike. Here's a link to his music.http://www.jamilkayin.com

The next morning I toke the Megabus to New York City and the first place I visited was good old Brooklyn. Met up with friends in Williamsburg and made my way over to Le Poisson Rogue for soundcheck.While in New York I played Le Poisson Rogue 2 nights in a row. The performance was also streamed live on the venues website. On the night of the first New York gig friends from high school traveled from DC and Charlottesville, Virginia.

There were only three dates for me to play with the band because I play the Latitude Festival in the UK July 17.

Resting my feet

Headed to America tomorrow to play in Philadelphia and  New York City. Yesterday I returned from Paris, France and immediately travled to Oxford for a brief appearance at a music festival called The 9 Muses. The setting was cute but was destroyed thanks to a few of the band members of the band that played after me. The bass players vibe was very brown in color like the stinky stuff dogs leave behind once relieving themselves. He and his friend apologised after my set but, what good does that serve. I suppose you can't win them all. LOL.  Up until that point at the festival I was enjoying myself and will do my best to reflet on the events prior to the silver spandex attired bass player and his blonde surfer like friend.

The next I arose to make my way to Lounge on the Farm Music Festival locate in Canterbury. Didn't show up to the gig on time and as a result, had to be wedged onto another stage. The audience payed attention and bought some merch. so I can't complain.

Tomorrow I fly to America for a quick 3 day support tour with Wild Beasts. The first gig is in Philadelphia at the World Cafe. After Philadelphia I'm back to my third home, New York City.
