Are you in Maine in early May?

Yes, we have been for the past few years, and expect to in '19.

Can you give me a hint of next years' Maine tour dates (2019)? Sadly, we will be missing your stop in Portland and Stone Mountain this year- by only 2 days- because we'll be in Paris :-) We want to plan our schedule around yours next year.

I miss "November Skies" too much!

All the best,
Manny

Hi Manny, I suspect 2019 will be the same as 2018 when it comes to Maine shows: early May, late July and early October. Enjoy Paris!

Any chance you are considering Calgary Alberta for a tour spot?

Sorry, but not this year.

Morning Slaid, hope that you are having an enjoyable tour on the West Coast.
When you were last @ the Tractor in Seattle, I seem to remember that you may do requests so I have two that i would appreciate you considering to play when you are in Portland tomorrow night; Last of the V8's and/or Whim of Iron.
If you don't get to either... look forward to hearing what you will play.
Always a great show.

thanks,
John

Indeed, John, we are enjoying the mild weather and lush scenery of the Pacific Northwest this week. And indeed, the best way to get a request played at a show is through the web site here, ahead of time. I will brush up on those two and do at least one. Thanks, Slaid

Slaid,Thank you so much for playing breakfast in hell per my request, and putting on such a great show in Santa Ana last Saturday night ..
It was awesome to meet you ,shake your hand and thank you in person for all the incredible music you have given us.
I was lucky to be seated in the front right next to your mike stand .the best seat in the house literally.
Enjoy your well earned rest from the road .
See ya next time
Eric
Ps thank karen for me ,for the birthday cupcake s

Just doing my job, Eric. But thanks so much for writing. I still have "miles to go before I sleep," but messages like yours keep our spirits high while we contend with the challenges of the road". -Slaid

At your concert now in Seattle! Play Flowerewd Dresses or Rust Belt Fields!! Love your music!!

Hmm, I don't check for questions during the show. But somehow I knew to play your two songs last night. Spooky!

Hello to all..We were at your show in Sacramento on Thursday..As usual it was a fabulous show and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanted to send a big thank you for playing my requests. "No Angel Knows" and "Texas Top Hand"..two of my favorites...thank you so much, made my evening!!
I had a bumper sticker made that says "this world's been shaved by a drunken barber's hand" and had an extra made for you all but forgot to bring it with me. I will search the web site for a PO box or mailing address and send along to you. If you don't have a mailing address listed if you could provide one for me that would be great.
We are all hoping you might make it to Nevada City,CA this fall/winter as we usually see you whenever you play there.
Thank you again for a wonderful evening of music, we had such a great time. Best wishes to you all! And thank you for all that you do.I can only imagine how tiring it can be traveling and touring as much as you do. Take care

Hi Lonna, What a joy it was to play the beautiful Sofia in Sacramento. Thanks for sending in your requests ahead of time so I could brush up on No Angel Knows (been a while since I sang that one). Alas, we won't be back for a while now. Got to rest up some, then start working on a new batch of songs. I need that bumper sticker!

No question. My daughter and I saw your show in Fresno. You signed my clave. Anyway, my daughter was inspired to pick up her guitar again after hearing you play. I thought that might be a cool thing for you to know. We listened to Breakfast in Hell on the way home, and she suddenly realized it was YOUR song. Same with Horseshoe Lounge. She remembered them but didn't realize they were yours until after we talked to you.

Anyway, thank you for a wonderful show. My birthday is June 11 and it was my present to myself.

Very cool. You raised her well. Happy Birthday! -Slaid

No question here, just a GIANT THANK YOU for coming to Sacramento and a wonderful show. Please take care - the road trips are really a lot of hard work and everyone appreciates the effort you made to be here last night (June 7th). Love from your fans! Hope you will return again someday soon.

Indeed, the shows themselves are always joyous, but the road is beginning to wear us out. We appreciate being appreciated! Makes it all worth the effort. -Slaid

Hi Slaid, just wanted to say thank you for a great show in Sebastopol last night and for the kindness you showed my son William and I. We’re looking forward to listening to your first album on cassette as we drive around in my old Cadillac! As a fellow songwriter I have to say keep writing those great songs!

Thanks Mark. We had a great time at Hopmonk. Quality people. Glad you could join us. -Slaid
