Hello everyone, hope you're all in good health and spirits.
Me and Amy continue to miss the heck out of Terry M., especially now that E St. is about to fire up and tour. We call on your spirit every day for inspiration and courage Terry and will continue to. Long may your spirit run!
I'm excited and grateful for this imminent challenge to take great new music to the world with Bruce and E St. It is an honor and privilege to participate in this comfort, healing and joy through music which continues to be one of the formidable "sacred weapons" this planet needs desperately.
I'm currently rehearsing with another extraordinary band led by Patti Scialfa (Patti and I joined E St. the same month in May of '84) as she releases a beautiful, soulful solo album this week. You'll love it! I'll ask Linda and Mary to post the details.
I won't be able to do my traditional acoustic U.K.duo run this Fall (we’ll miss you!) however, we are still planning to do our annual Birchmere gigs Jan. 11 and 12. The "Muscatel" song and download will probably be avaliable early next week. I love it and hope you'll check it out! Anson and I will continue to work with our team to get some new and unreleased music to you as I take the E St. journey. Also, to you interested guitarists, sorry I haven't gotten to the "Youngstown" solo yet but I hope to do that from my hotel room during rehearsals. Please bear with me and thanks for spreading the word about the guitar school.
Thanks to my fabulous wife Amy, I have a beautiful home with 3 dogs, 2 cats and a teenager that I now get a new homesickness for when I hit the road. Luckily, Amy has always been supportive of my musical journey and is beautifully aware of the healing that Bruce offers the planet through his music with the E St. Band. She's been saying for years how much the world needs it and now it's happening so thanks beautiful, I love ya!
I will keep you all posted. I know some of you wish I would be doing more shows of my own and for that I am honored. However, please know this is all part of an incredible musical journey I've been blessed with and it will only inspire me in new ways which always helps me with my own music. You, the audience continue to be the most important part of the equation and for that I thank you from my heart.
Peace and Believe- Nils
