Our adorable Durango Tour Vehicle, parked beside a 4-ft bonsai tree ….. just kidding. We did something crazy powerful the other night while driving 8 hours from San Francisco to Ojai, CA. …. no, we didn’t lift a car off a trapped goat. This was even more powerful. We’ve been talking for over a year
“You can’t make $200,000 a year doing a $10 an hour job.” Carole King’s touring guitarist recently smacked me in the face with that idea. Pardon the name dropping, but it just makes the story so much more fun for me to tell. His name is Curtis, and he’s a beautiful human being. And its
We crested the mountain highway pass, heading deeper into British Columbia wilderness, and found ourselves driving right into a blizzard. We had just left a fine, crisp Vancouver late-April morning; where did this blizzard come from? Day 101. We were going to Kelowna, BC, the apex of our 6 month West Coast tour begun in
Here’s one simple, powerful exercise we do every time we get in the Durango to drive to a new city. We go around our circle and simply say what we are grateful for. Everything and anything comes up – the delicious organic chocolate chip cookie I just ate; the wondrously green hills whizzing by breathtaking
Tonight was just awesome. We performed tonight with Byron Katie at her “School for The Work” in Los Angeles. We actually diverted our tour in San Francisco (where we were headed farther north) to come to LA yesterday, Monday, to create this experience for ourselves and Katie and the 300 people from all over the
I often wake up on this tour to the sound of the guys laughing. When we’re breaking down from a show, I often hear the guys cracking up on stage. When they’re performing in front of a packed house, if one guy hits a bad note or misses a cue, I see the other guys
As booking research for HERE II HERE, I went to a cool little arts-centered Religious Science Sunday service this past weekend in North Hollywood … it was in a theater in the NoHo arts district – The Noho Arts Center for New Thought. Rev James Mellon, a former broadway performer, was simply wonderful … electrifying
Thank God I’m not running the show! I couldn’t have planned it so clever! When we got to San Diego, I thought we had adequate housing for two weeks. We rolled into our apparent new digs at about 2AM somewhere in the hills of Escondido … and quickly realized this was NOT going to work.
This major San Diego “new thought” venue we performed at tonight – Seaside Spiritual Living Center – hadn’t returned my emails or phone calls for months of my trying before the tour started. I got one short email from them saying they book a year in advance, check with the Music Director. She never responded.
Yesterday the director at the San Diego Baha’i Center told me – after HERE II HERE performed – “You have a great responsibility on your shoulders, Bryan! The world needs to hear their music and message!” One of the amazing things about working with HERE II HERE is that so many people who experience them
