Things have been pretty busy here around the house lately with a

I got a new album coming out and Amy and I are doing everything we can to take care of all the things that need to be taken care of and there's quite a few.

But it's going to get

even busier the second half of this year I'll spend all of July overseas

playing in England Wales and Switzerland and I got a Tennessee gig strange exotic

land called Tennessee just right before I take off and then there's another strange

exotic place called Indiana that I get to go play,

get to see my old friends in Indianapolis. I really hope you guys have come out to the shows.

If you do come up to me and let me know that you listen to this show, it's one of the best things

about doing this show is when someone actually walks up and tells me that they listen to it.

And I'm talking into a microphone right now, then I don't usually get to see your faces.

So if you come up to me at a show, I actually get to see the person.

And it becomes a lot more personal for me at that point.

I hope I get to meet you guys and definitely say hi to me.

And you can find out about all those gigs at Otis Gibbs.com.

Music Hi, friends, this is Otis Gibbs, and you're listening to Thanks for Giving a Dam. I'm sitting here in my living

room in East Nashville and I have a dog sitting on the floor next to me and I have a cat in my lap.

This is a personal journal. This is a bit of an experiment. I like to say right up front that I

haven't the slightest idea what I'm doing but I decided to do it anyway. And this show is founded

with the idea that there are only two people in art that matter.

There's a creative individual and the person experiencing it.

And everything else is an artificial filter.
