Opening for Steve Earle

January 23, 2019

It’s not every day that your phone rings with news that you’ll be opening for a songwriting legend that same time the following night. When asked, I hesitated for a moment… you see, I’ve been fighting a nasty cold all week and I’ve lost my voice. So now, both speechless and unable to speak, I squeaked an excited “yes, absolutely!” into the mouthpiece as the panic of getting to the pharmacy before they closed started to set in.

That legend? Steve Earle. He has been a songwriting hero of mine and so many others for as long as I can remember. I’ll try to play it cool if I get the chance to meet him, but let’s be honest. I’m bound to babble incoherently, and I’ll be lucky to get that far if a miracle allows me to make any noise at all. Turns out that we both like beards and benches, so I’ll probably just lead with that. Should work, right?

There are still a few tickets available here: GET TICKETS

By some unbelievable stroke of luck and fate, I me By some unbelievable stroke of luck and fate, I met my wife only a year ago this weekend on the 17th floor of the @graduatehotels in Providence for the @sojournerri Masquerade Ball. All year long we talked about heading back to the 17th floor again. With COVID, The Graduate in Providence never reopened and I was ready to spend the weekend together at Castle Blackamore... cheeseballing it up.

Today, @yes.dear took me on a secret car ride and when we stopped we were @graduatehotels in New Haven where we watched the virtual Masquerade Ball. I’ve been out cheeseballed.

This year has been hard on all of us. My wife is incredible and her thoughtfulness has been a bottomless book of matches in the dark. I say it all the time, so much so that I’m sure most of you wish I’d stop already, but I cannot believe how lucky I am.
Proud of these two for all that they do and fight Proud of these two for all that they do and fight for. #vote

Let me tell you a little about my best bud, @cbfie Let me tell you a little about my best bud, @cbfields. For over 20 years we’ve been making questionable decisions with heavy machinery, laughing like idiots at the idiocy of others, investing small fortunes in animals, and most importantly, picking each other up when life couldn’t look worse.

He has sat by my side in hospital beds to cheer me up, he’s helped me with 7 moves in the last 10 years, he didn’t punch me in the face when I drunkenly lit his leg on fire with a marshmallow, and he’s the most kind, supportive, reliable, and perfectly weird guy I’ll know and he has never once asked for anything in return. He went above and beyond for our wedding - it couldn’t have happened without him...

Colin, thank you for everything.

Ladies, by some act of god this man is single. DM for details. ;)
