Greetings friends, fans, stalkers, and often-irritatingly-unrealistic-yet-entirely-indomitable-Giants-fanatics.
I hope everyone out there is having a spectacular early fall! We Waybacks miss being out on the road together, and thanks so much for all your kind notes inviting us back to play in your hometowns!
Really sorry we won't be hitting more places in 2011, but we do have a few great shows coming up in Virginia:
Thursday, October 6, 2011
Richmond, VA
A very special event featuring The Waybacks and the incomparable Jim Lauderdale! We'll each be doing a long set, then jamming/collaborating at the end. Best of all, the show is being hosted by our friends at the Massey Cancer Center--Massey always hires a top-notch sound crew, so I'd expect this show to be sonically fabulous. And proceeds benefit the Cancer Center, so you can feel good about where your ticket dollars are going. It's an honor to play for this 7th Annual Music for Massey event!

Staunton, VA
We played at Mockingbird's last year and had a terrific time! It's a beautiful venue with great sight lines and sound, and very classy staff and food. Excited to be returning!

In other news, my first ever instructional guitar DVD is now shipping! It's (subtly) entitled "Making the Acoustic Guitar Rock!" and covers a wide range of topics from pick technique and string bending to creative approaches for soloing over chord changes and pounding out rhythms, and the folks at Homespun did a great job of filming with right and left hand closeups and written transcriptions of everything I play. The vid is primarily instructional, but it also includes some fun outtakes and solo acoustic studio jams, and I discuss ways I tweak equipment and instrument setup to make the acoustic guitar sound good onstage when The Waybacks get cookin'... Targeted for intermediate to advanced players, but there's a lot there for beginners, too. Click here for more info...
Be sure to check out WarrenHood.com and JoeKyleJr.com. Warren's playing at the Rice Festival in Fischer, TX, on November 11th, and Joe's playing just about every night in the Bay Area and beyond, with Emily Anne, the Avatar Ensemble, and many others.
In other online news, I added some never-before-seen video content at JamesNash.com, including footage of James Nash and The Nomads, and a stellar-sounding multi-track-captured live performance of The Waybacks with Joan Osborne.
Finally, I just discovered this new technology called Twitter, which has apparently been around for 4+ years ?!? If you'd like to jump on the very late bandwagon with me, I'm @Jnashvillain.
Happy Fall, everyone!
James
