Nord on the Road

Bandits

Reno, Sacramento,
Lake Tahoe

Packing up the Nord Electro 5d and hitting the road this month with Jessie Leigh.

Custom, programmable set lists that store my drawbar presets for B3 and split settings have helped lighten the prep work needed to nail the piano and organ parts on a western tour with Jessie Leigh.

In addition to her debut album on Spotify, Jessie Leigh has some brand new material. Being able to quickly navigate my settings based on the set list really makes things a breeze.

Besides joining artists like Brooke Eden, Jackson Michelson and LOCASH for these shows, I’m excited to explore theses towns, capturing the sights and sounds on Instagram.

Rae Solomon, Aces Up, Lace & Lead

Coming up this weekend on March 8: Rae Solomon with Aces Up & Lace & Lead @ Jazzbones, Tacoma, WA …

Rae Solomon, Aces Up, Lace & Lead

“Off stage Rae Solomon may be known as Seattle’s country darling, but, make no mistake, the moment she steps into the spotlight her high energy sass leaves her audiences begging for more. Possessing a very rare perfect pitch capability Rae’s bold voice jumps through the speakers and cuts through all the clutter you hear today. ‘The stage is my time to connect. I want to captivate people and make them feel something!’ says Solomon. ‘Music is so much more than just music. It’s feeling and emotion and memories.'” –Rae Solomon | Official Website

Aces Up Kickstarter, album pre-order, more!

Hey everyone,

Aces Up just launched its Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming CD. This is a great way to pre-order the album and get one-time-only, rare band merchandise. Head over and check out the cool stuff you can get, but be quick, this only lasts for a limited time!

Coming Soon: Tracy Lawrence, Lee Brice, Brett Eldredge … more!

We have some fun things coming up with week and next.

First off, we’re hitting the road for Wyoming to play with Tracy Lawrence (Paint Me a Birmingham, Find Out Who Your Friends Are) and Sarah Darling (Little Umbrellas). Then we headline in Idaho. After that we scoot over to Medford, OR to play with Thomas Rhett (Beer with Jesus, 1994). We know what he’d do if we could have a Beer with Jesus, but maybe he’ll settle for a beer with me.

After that we’ll head back to Idaho for a show with Brett Eldredge (Don’t Ya) and then down to Portland, OR with Lee Brice (Parking Lot Party, Hard to Love).

Somewhere in between I’ll be able to grab a nap, snap some pictures along the way, and share it all with you.
