Hello from a hotel room in Portland.

Last night Jesse and I performed in Maine. And there is a secret report from this haunted state in the Tomb at the Top of the Stairs.

But here is public information for those cool freethinkers called THE STAIR KIDS.

The VAN FREAKS ROADSHOW is almost over. I promise I will stop mentioning it soon.

But it has been so much fun for Jesse and me to sing songs and shout justice to you.

So if you’ve enjoyed the show, please consider forwarding this email to someone who might also enjoy it before it ends.

Because our last two shows are going to be true HOMECOMING BANGERS.

On Monday we’re in my home commonwealth with an incredibly Bostonian show with special guests Marsha Bemko from from Antiques Roadshow and Josh Kantor from Fenway Park.

My dad is coming to that show, so there’s no excuse you can’t make it. Tickets are HERE.

Then I finally go home-home to Brooklyn to bring live justice to the Murmrr Opera House. I’m going to be so happy to see you there, plus balcony tickets are on the cheap, so please get them HERE.

these have been fun days and nights on the road, but they are almost over

Finally, I want to draw your attention to Laura Valk, our live producer and tour manager on the road show.

She is hyper-competent in these roles, and also incredibly good company.

But if you have seen her accompany me on guitar on any of our shows, you also know she’s a wildly talented musician and singer.

And she has a band.

SKOUT is the name of that band, and they have a new single out TODAY, which is called “Pearls,” and so I need you to go over HERE to please listen to it.

close your eyes and listen. maybe take off one shoe also

OK, I am now running out of time before I have to hop on to a conference call about an exciting thing that’s happening that’s still a secret.

I will tell you about it below in the Secret Room. I will also tell you about some things that have happened on the road and the drugs I did in the woods.

If you care to climb the stairs, speak your name, and enter:

THE REST OF THIS MESSAGE IS SECRET.
