Thad Beckman: News

I'll be starting a two month European tour on June 5th.  The first week I'll spend playing guitar for one of Americas finest songwriters Tom Russell.  Then I'll be off on my own for 5 weeks doing solo shows in Sweden, Holland, Germany, Belgium and Austria.  Then I reconnect with Tom in Dublin on July 12 to finish out the tour in Ireland and the UK.  My last show is in London and I'll be doing a solo performance and sharing the evening with wonderful Tony Poole.  Check out my calendar.  

Danny Montgomery (drummer extraordinaire) and I just recorded a CD with 11 tunes.  Drums, guitar and vocal.  It sounds great!!!  It's a mixture of original Thad Beckman tunes and some old blues greats.  It's available now on CDBaby, Itunes and Amazon for downloading.  Hard copies will be available on May 15.  

Also, check out my calendar for upcoming tour dates.  Lots of cool stuff happening.  

Will be heading over the Oslo on May 7th to join up with Tom Russell for several dates in Norway, Finland, Sweden and Amsterdam.  Then on the 21st I'll be heading out on my own in England, Austria and Germany.

Check the calendar for the dates.

Very much looking forward to this train ride with the great Tom Russell, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Jon Langford.  It's gonna be a hoot.  It's sold out at the moment but check out www.rootsontherail.com just in case there is a cancellation.

Will be making my first appearance in over 5 years back in Ojai, California on April 10th.   

I go into the studio tomorrow to start recording my NEW CD called Born In Smoke.  Stay tuned for updates.

Coming the first weekend in March I'll be doing a little tour through southern Oregon into Nevada and ending up in Sebastopol, California.  Looking forward to seeing new and old friends.

I'm heading across the pond for several dates.  This will be my first time playing solo in England.  Looking forward to that.  Then a few dates in The Netherlands, two shows with Tom Russell in Switzerland then off to Germany for 5 dates and then finishing up in Austria.  Woohoo.  Check out my Calendar for particulars. 

Also, Tom Russell has a great new album coming out in September.  I'm honored to say I play on a few cuts.  We will be touring all of the Fall in support of that album.  Again, check my Calendar for particulars.

Last month Tom and I were in Woodstock, NY where we played with rock 'n' roll legend Levon Helm.  What a thrill. 

A couple of days ago on July 1st I performed a couple of shows at the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, OR.  I did a set with the amazingly talented Mary Flower and she was on fire that night.
