Hey everyone,

I'm looking forward to playing a nice bunch of gigs in the next couple months.

September will bring us back to Wuerzburg for our first hometown gig in a little while. And then we'll be taking a trip into the wild east, playing for the nice folks of Real Music at the Gedächtniskirche in Lauchhammer.

I've also managed to find a place where we can continue the Songwriter Night series starting in October. Once again, we'll be inviting guests and songwriter friends to Wuerzburg once a month. I've already got a bunch of cool people lined up that I'll be playing with at a new bar in town called "cu". I'll post the exact dates as soon as they're confirmed.

In December I'll be going on a little duo tour in the time that we call "between the years", meaning between Christmas and New Year's. My partner on that tour will be the wonderful Ms Rachel Harrington who's currently creating quite a stir as the hottest new singer-songwriter on the Seattle scene. The exact dates will be posted asap; confirmed so far is our two-night stand at the Hotel Baltic in Usedom/Germany on December 30 & 31. So if your mind's set on a country New Year's bash, come on out and join us.

After that I'll hop across the big pond to play some more shows with Rachel in the USA. We've confirmed gigs in Seattle, Wa. and Nashville, Tn. and are looking to book some more shows. Y'all better get ready.

So, folks, stay tuned. Stock up on your supply of "Hobo Dream"-CDs, spread the word, and come on out to see us play. Looking forward to seeing y'all.

Take care,
Markus
