servant of the creative impulse

The last few shows have been so good!

In 11 days, I start a quick tour of the east coast along with Mikal kHill and Jesse Dangerously. It goes from 2/2/12 - 2/11/12 and we’ll be venturing from Orlando back home to Worcester.  You can find the details on the dates below or on http://www.ShaneHallMusic.com.

I spent all day yesterday re-watching the movie “Shane” to remember that a gunslinger named Shane ain’t meant to be settlin’ down, ‘cause trouble will find him wherever he goes.  We’ve got the sickest flyer for the tour, and we’re going to be joined by fellow adventurer, journalist and merch slinger Jenny Lou Bement.  All in all, things are adding up to be quite promising…check it out:

I’ve got so much to do to get ready and I’m so far behind.  I didn’t even think I was going to be able to have merch for this tour…and the timing is still a bit shaky…but thanks to some incredible generosity from a local supporter I was able to pay for the costs of a merch refresh and my tour transportation without even dipping into the coffers.  Such generosity is humbling…apropos I would say.

I did this a recap video of my performance at the MC Frontalot show in Worcester at 97D.  The show was a glorious event and this time we’re going even bigger.  Actually…big is the theme for the two shows I’m responsible for throwing on the east coast run of the tour.  One super crazy show at the new moon-ii venue in Brooklyn, NY (which includes Schaffer the Darklord!) and the aforementioned sophomore fiasco at 97D Webster St.

So I’m going through tracks I have lying around and trying to think of what I might be able to include on a tour-only CD, just to keep the musical dialogue going with the folks who dig my rap stuff…which is in something of a limited supply currently.  It’s have a few of the songs that I do live that are currently unavailable and may or may not even end up on “The Odd Man Hypothesis”.  Whatever.  Shorter version: wheels are in motion, and I can’t wait until they take me to YOU! :)

‘Till then,
