Peter Case and I played in Logrono, Spain tonight at Stereo Rock n Roll Bar, a fine tavern run by cool people. However, I cannot recommend playing there on Halloween Night, nope. Possibly not our best move. 🧛👻⚰️☠️

A killer, killer, killer gig at the HiltonMadrid’s Canopy room. Packed out, these sweet Spaniards sang along to my set, sang along to Peter Case’s set, and sang on our four song encore. Thank you, Ruta 66 magazine y HeartOfGold booking❗️Life is good, amigos. 🎸👍Tonight our Halloween is in Logrono!

My southern European tour with my dear pal of 47 years, the three time 😳 Grammy nominee Peter Case, starts this very Tuesday in Bilbao and ends Nov 10 in Vienna. Please c’mon out❗️Even if you don’t dig the music we are hilarious 😂 between songs. You might well hear a Plimsouls or a Long Ryders tune.

A fine session at the Tuesday night bluegrass jam at The Landseer Arms in Archway, north London 🪕🎻tonight. Kentucky’s own Stratton Hammon sat in on vocals, guitar and mandolin. It was a grand night! Come see & hear us next Tuesday night…it is free and the food is yummy there. Plus so many beers!

A great morning workout at AllStarsBoxing Gym on the Harrow Road, a multi-cultural HQ where friends are made daily. Trump and Farage would hate the place. Even the music played while we work out reflects different segments of modern society. 🥊

Great session at AllStarsBoxing Gym on the Harrow Road here in London 🇬🇧yesterday, the rare gym where we also have book launch parties. Kuba Shand-Baptiste’s Soon Come is now turning some heads in the literary world too. 📚📖 Check it out!

93c Cafe might be the most delicious cafe food I have eaten in outside of Italy. If in the Finchley area of north London do pop by! It is terrific. Totally yummy. 😋 I cannot believe such warm, yummy food is available at such fair price. The cappuccino is delicious too, smooth and robust.☕️
October 12, 2025 at 1:07 PM
Peter Case headlines, I open the show, at the end we play a couple of tunes together. 🤠It is a great night of top level Americana music so southern Europe get ready for an unforgettable Oct/Nov evening. Piero Ciampi lives! (Yes, we both play songs from all eras of our respective five careers.👍)
