An update.

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:33:45 -0500

Hey everyone.

I realize we cut the tour blog a bit abruptly. Sorry about that. Here’s an update:
Last Wednesday, after driving a short, yet scenic drive through the mountains from Asheville, NC to Johnson City, TN, Andrew and I both decided to cut the tour a few days short and head home after our show that night with Mike Vial at the Acoustic Coffeehouse in Johnson City. I essentially had a mental breakdown and realized a lot of my unresolved issues that the tour was supposed to help me forget about all came flooding back into my brain and really made me miss the comfort zone of home. Andrew also missed his friends and loved ones, so we drove 12.5 hours straight through from Johnson City, TN back to Mt. Pleasant. We will make it up to you soon, Notre Dame. Hopefully y’all had fun with Ratboy and Nathan K. without us!

On Saturday we played at Woobie’s Bar in Flint, MI with our pals Elliot Street Lunatic, Good Weather For Airstrikes, Tiger! Tiger! and a few more bands. It was a nice welcome back of sorts and it felt good to play our music for some familiar faces, as well as some new ones as we had not yet played in Flint since Wavvy Hands formed. Andrew and I both played a show there in early 2011 as V + The Nicotine Machine and Galactic Vacationer, respectively.

Today we played the kickoff luau for Relay For Life at CMU. It was an unusual setting, but we enjoyed it none the less. We were asked to play at the Relay itself in April on campus and we are going to try to make it work, though that will be a busy week for us!

Currently we’re waiting to hear back from some music festivals we’ve applied for as well as some other shows we are hoping to play support on for some bigger national acts. We’ll be recording on Wednesday with Moore Media Records at CMU for their “Live from Studio A” sampler that will come out in April and then we play Thursday at Founder’s in Grand Rapids with Life Size Ghost and Elliot Street Lunatic, followed by Saturday at Rubble’s in Mt. Pleasant with Elliot Street, Good Weather for Airstrikes and Tiger! Tiger!

It’s a busy time for Wavvy Hands. It’s exciting and exhausting all the same.

Tour Blog: Day 4 - Asheville, NC

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:30:39 -0500

Didn’t drive anywhere today really.

Today was our show at the Root Bar in Asheville. It’s a cool little dive bar at the east end of town, quite a ways from downtown and everything else we’ve been exploring the last two days. We played to a small crowd of relatively enthusiastic people though. Everyone that gave any shits about the music came and told us what they thought of it, good and bad, which is awesome. That doesn’t always happen. If anything else, the people in the south are honest. One guy liked us enough that he tipped us in frozen steaks. Hopefully they make it back to the Mitten in our cooler!

Andrew tried his hand at some more busking downtown today without much luck. I explored the Blue Ridge Parkway a bit and took a look at their visitor center, where I learned quite a bit about the parkway and it’s history.

Tomorrow we head north to Johnson City, TN to play with a fellow Michigan artist named Mike Vial. Should be fun. It’s at the Acoustic Coffeehouse in Johnson City. 8pm. It’s a free show, but we always love some donations for gas!

Only 4 more days until we’re back home among friends and loved ones.
It’s been a fun journey, but we’re starting to miss home.

- Corey.

Tour Blog: Day 3 - Asheville, NC

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:40:23 -0500

Drove from Greensboro, NC to Asheville, NC today.
A grand total of 1019 miles traveled thus far.

(Photo: Moog Synthesizer Headquarters - Asheville, NC)

Today we left a cold, rainy Greensboro and the nice people that allowed us to stay at their house last night to get some much needed sleep (Thanks Colin & the gang!) and drove to Asheville on our day off, as our next show isn’t until tomorrow night at the Root Bar here in Asheville.

We explored downtown and all that it has to offer, and I must say, Asheville is the type of place I would move to if I ever left Michigan. It’s a tremendous town.

Andrew did some street busking after we saw many a street performer around our own walk through the many shops and cafes. He made a few bucks and seeing as we were out of quarters, I moved my car to avoid a ticket and explored the UNC-Asheville campus area where we are still sitting as I type this. Their library is open until 1am and we have nothing better to do!

The temperature is steadily rising, creating a dense fog and being we’re not from around here, I think it’s best we just stay put for the evening.

Asheville is a helluva city.

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:08:30 -0500

We’re just hanging out here on our day off.
We play The Root Bar in East Asheville tomorrow night. Come see us if you’re in the area.

Tour Blog: Day 2 - Greensboro, NC

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:01:14 -0500

Drove from Oxford, OH to Greensboro, NC
857 total miles traveled.

Today was a long one.
We left the show in Oxford around 11:30 last night and headed for Greensboro. The drive took a while die to several stops at rest areas for some attempted sleep along the way.

We rolled into Greensboro at about 3:30pm after some intense mountain highway driving and some thick fog at higher altitudes. It’s not “warm” here today by any means, but 36 is much better than the 3 degrees we left behind in Mount Pleasant.

Tonight’s show was interesting. The opening acts Marissa Kay and Old Rusty Mandolin were both pretty great, but the crowd was mostly their family and close friends. Surprisingly they all really enjoyed our set and we seemed to get into much better moods once we hit the stage after being exhausted all day.

A man named Robert was in attendance. A wise, well spoken southern gentleman who said he writes for the New Yorker and was writing a new article that would involve a bit about the show. So, we might be in the New Yorker soon? Crazy.

Anyway. Staying at Nadia’s friend Colin’s house tonight. Watching “Chain Reaction” with Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman currently. Much needed sleep and a shower will be great before an early departure for Asheville in the AM.

Help us out on tour!

Another new WAVVY HANDS song from our forthcoming EP due out in April 2012. Particularly proud of how well the “electronic-folk” idea comes across here. Can’t wait to see how writing the rest of the EP shapes out!
