First Day of Tour

It’s been nice relaxing in Savannah for the last week, but the first day of tour is FINALLY here! The van & trailer are packed and the crew is ready to hit the road for the next several weeks.

First stop: Gainesville, FL. The band is scheduled for a 4pm meet & greet today at High Tides. After that, we’ll head over to Common Grounds for soundcheck and setup. I’m glad that my brother & his girlfriend will be taking a road trip from Tampa to see me perform along with my cousin/godmother from Atlanta. Chris, Lisa, & Mary Ann… see ya soon!

Most Anticipated Albums for 2011

If you’re not familiar with ThePier.org, it’s a central hub for the latest news in the reggae/rock scene. Recently, they just posted the “Most Anticipated Albums of 2011.” Passafire has been included on this list with plans to release a new album this summer. The album will likely be produced by Paul Leary, who has an impressive resume producing for artists such as Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, & Pepper.

Also cracking the list of most anticipated albums is my boy, KnowledgeBorn07. For those of you into the hiphop/reggae vibes, be sure to visit knowledgeborn07.com and download his whole album for free. I made guest appearances on a handful of tracks from Cosmic Knowledge and plan on producing a track for his upcoming dub/remix album. The Pier just posted an album review of Cosmic Knowledge on their website today, so check it out! Also, stay tuned for some future collaborations with KnowledgeBorn07, John Gray (Fluid Minds), and myself.
