Yesterday I got back from a trip of a lifetime to San Francisco, LA, Toronto, Detroit and New York City. Played a few shows, but mostly met lovely and very helpful people on the way. In terms of shows, New York had a bit of a highlight being my show at the Bitter End in the East Village. The Bitter End has been host since 1960 to artists like Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and more recently Lady Gaga and Jess McAvoy. The owner of the venue invited me to play again two nights later and wants me to return regularly.
I was pretty stoked with that. Canada has delivered a few touring opportunities next year and I am looking forward to potential there. All in all it was a very inspirational journey which brings me to my next point.
I have committed to writing at least one song about every place I visited on my trip, and have already completed San Francisco and LA. Starts have been made on Toronto, and two songs about NYC. may even try to chuck in a Melbourne Winter song too.
Now, I was thinking I might put a little E.P. together about this lil journey and I was wondering who would like to pre purchase such a thing. This will only be available to my followers on the internet, so please express your interest by e mailing me at jesmaq@jessmcavoy.com . Further instructions will be given out then. I will only be able to go ahead with this if I get a fair amount of interest, so if you think you would like multiple copies you will need to let me know. It won’t be ‘spensive, but let me know asap- and i will get cracking.
No more shows in Australia for a while, downtime to write and create.
