Upcoming Shows w/ the Square Peg Alliance and Jars of Clay
Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 02:41PM
As some of you know, this year I decided to take the show off the road and spend my time in Nashville, working on records and writing. It's been great and I've loved seeing my kids every day and diving into helping other artists achieve their vision.
That said, every now and then you need to get on the road with some friends and play some music.
And over the next couple of weeks that's what I'll be doing.
This coming Tuesday and Wednesday my friends in the Square Peg Alliance and I will be teaming up to play a few things. The bulk of us (sans Derek) will be at:
Grace Community Chapel
7661 Mexico Rd
St Peters, MO 63376
(636) 970-1311
June 30, 7:00 PM
$5
From there we'll head up to the Cornerstone Festival, where we will meet Derek, and the nine of us will have about five hours to ourselves on the Gallery Stage. HERE'S THE SCHEDULE if you want to make sure you also get to catch Bloodline Severed and Austrian Death Machine. I know, I know. Sometimes it's hard to fit it all in.
June 1, 6-11 PM.
The following week I'll achieve my high school dream and fill in playing guitar for a couple of Jars of Clay shows. 15-year old Andy is nervous and giddy while 30-year old Andy is calm and professionally charting out the songs and running over harmonies. My dream, of course, always included our national pasttime, so gloriously both shows I'll be playing with them will be at baseball games.
Nashville, TN - Greer Stadium (Nashville Sounds)
Thursday, July 9
5:30 p.m. concert, 7 p.m. game
Ticket Info
Minneapolis, MN - Metrodome (Minneapolis Twins)

If you haven't heard their new record, The Long Fall Back to Earth, you need to. It's my favorite thing they've ever done. Including their first record. Go get it.
I said when I came off the road that I would only go back out for things that were really special. Needless to say, making music with both these groups of friends is a rare gift and I'm grateful for the opportunities and excited that they're coming up soon. If you can make it to any of these shows please come and say hi!

Hmm. I think you should also come play with Jars in Redlands, CA, on July 24, and I could also book you for a solo show in Pasadena the next night.
It's just a suggestion...
That picture is amazingly bad! Sounds like a lot of fun over the next few weeks -wish I could make it to one of the shows.
Is it Steve you're filling in for w/ Jars? That is so cool that you're getting to play with them -make sure it gets documented!
I'm filling in for Matt at these shows. I believe I'll be doing a few for Steve in October.
i hear that jars has a few canadian dates. i assume that they will play ontario in there. so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, make sure that you're with them then.
even if you have to volunteer to be their roadie. it would be awesome to see you up here. all the timbits for the band can be on me. :)
pass this along to the boys if you want.
Which one gets custody of the Andy's?
Maybe on your way up to Toronto, Jars would be pleased to stop by in Baltimore/DC? It would be awesome to see you playing with them.
Yes. It would.
High school Matthew is totally freaking out for high school Andy. When you strum the opening chords for Flood, think of me.
Also, agreed about The Long Fall.... They are doing their best work now.
Andy, why? Why do you post scary pictures like that? I think that I'm going to have nightmares.
On the other hand, 15-year old Heather is pretty stoked for you as well! Ok, so is 29-year old Heather. :)
I wish I was close enough to see the Square Pegs. Alas, I'm not.
I'm pretty sure you could insert the actual Derek Webb into that picture and it would work. Oh ouch. I'm so getting banned from Andy's blog now. ;)
It's awesome that you're getting to play with Jars. I agree about the album. I think I do actually like it better than the debut even. That is saying A LOT for me, but I just can't stop listening to this one.
Saw you guys at Grace Community Church, and it was amazing. It was so great to hear so many amazing artists in one venue and the setting felt so personal. Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us. Oh I was on of the ladies that came to get your autograph...and we chatted about Twilight :) Great job!
I hope you guys have fun! I wish I could go see you play...a lot... I mean, seriously, you and Jars? Yess!!! It makes me sad that I can't go. But I'll be cheering y'all on from here :)
