November 2024
Hola Amigos,
Some quick news and November greetings!
BIG NEWS IN AUSTIN TX: Marvin, Chip, and I will introduce some of the songs from my new CD With A Guitar & A Pen and sign autographs, at a LIVE IN-STORE PERFORMANCE AT WATERLOO RECORDS ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, AT 5PM. Austin area friends, please join us at this historic homey hangout record store. I’ve appreciated Waterloo’s support since 1990. We’d love it if you’ll come support us and Waterloo Records once again!
And…on with news from Mundotish.
The new record With A Guitar & A Pen is out now and seems to be doing very well. My publicist Jill Kettles, is doing a great job promoting it. If y’all have any ideas for radio or print outlets that you think might be interested in playing the songs or writing a story, I’m sure she’ll be happy to look into it. I appreciate your willingness to help! You can contact her at missjillpr.com.
I’m a little road weary from our recent tours in the northwest and the northeast, but I’m really happy that all the dates worked out beautifully and were so much fun. In Eugene, Oregon, Chip Dolan, my longtime keyboard player and road warrior and I, played for a farmworker fundraiser. The next day, we got to visit with a group of students at the University of Oregon. I was so impressed by these bright young Latino leaders who are in their first semester and are the first of their families to attend university. I wish you all much success in your school careers and beyond. You gave me much hope for our country’s future!
In the northeast, we enjoyed driving through beautiful autumn foliage from Pennsylvania up to Vermont then down to the Boston area. On some of those dates I shared the bill with the Ronstadt Brothers, Michael and Pete. No doubt they come from generations of their talented Tucson family roots. Michael is a world class cello player and Pete is a modern-day Woody Guthrie foot stomping acoustic guitar troubadour. We all had a great time swapping songs and singing harmony on each other’s songs.
I’m back in Texas after a stay at Lynn’s Tubac, Arizona ranch. While there, we held a concert at the ranch. Although we are in the early days of producing concerts with our “Blue Truck Concert Series”, (so far, we’ve had three), we look forward to producing two or so concerts a year in the future. The next concert will feature our friend and award winning fine Western singer-songwriter, Dave Stamey on February 23rd, 2025. If you’re interested in this event, want more information, or want to be added to our Blue Truck email list, please contact Lynn Nixon at lynn24215@gmail.com.
Now, back in Texas for a while, I’m excited for my upcoming Texas record release shows in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country. Check out the tour section of the website for these dates. I’ll be playing these shows with my pal and guitar man, Marvin Dykhuis, and keyboard wizard, Chip Dolan. Marvin and I produced With A Guitar & A Pen, and Chip and Marvin helped create some wonderful music with their impeccable arrangements and multi-instrument skills.
The CD is available on my website now along with download options, plus it is also available on all your music purchasing platforms. The lyrics and stories are on the website as well. I hope to see you at one of our upcoming shows, and thanks to all of you who attended and were involved in our recent shows.
Another quick note before closing: Coming up in January, I’ll be on a short tour from Taos NM up to Alamosa, Denver, and Longmont, CO. Please stay tuned to the tour dates schedule on the website.
Well, gotta go! I wish everyone a wonderful upcoming Holiday Season. Have fun, be safe. Let’s welcome the new year with peace and hope.
Love and thanks,
Tish
