Charlie Hunter Rules

When Charlie Hunter called to ask if I wanted to do a short, two-week tour with his trio, featuring saxophone badass, Michael Blake, I flipped! We've been friends for many years and I opened for him numerous times in the early 2000's but we've never gotten into a car and toured as a band together, so I was totally psyched outta my mind. He's such a great guy, tremendous musician and just the most wonderful player. I took my girlfriend to see him in Los Angeles last year and we had a great time that night. She knew as well as me what I was up against when I got the call but once he sent the music we'd be playing, I knew there was no need to worry about anything. The tunes from his latest record are superbad and right up my alley. I could not wait.After some emails & texts to one another, the flight was booked and a few weeks later, I jumped on a plane and made my to his home in New Jersey. One day to rehearse then the three of us hit the road, headed for upstate New York. In all honesty, I was nervous at first but once we started playing, those feelings disappeared and there was nothing but the music. Needless to say, we have been having a blast. We've done six shows and the response has been tremendous.I'm writing y'all from the road, currently sitting in the backseat of Charlie's car, on our way to Columbus, Ohio with a day-off. Hopefully, we'll find a laundromat today! There are four more shows left, then we will say goodbye until meeting up again in October and I can't wait for that!Xoxo
