Check-in on the Base #12: Northern Alberta and Lachlan Neville
Talkin' to Farmers Tour week, hangin' with Lachlan and buyin' advanced tickets
Howdy Readers,
Look at those two, just having a heck of a time.
“Check-in on the Base #12”, Good to have y’all tuned in. I’m headed up to Northern Alberta this week for three shows; Manning, Fairview, and DeBolt (formerly the Grande Prairie House Concert). Preparing has felt good - truthfully, I’ve just thrown myself into my work.
A couple little jack films / Lachlan Neville collabs were overseen. We caught the Richard Inman and Zachary Lucky concert in Regina as well. I’m surrounded by great songwriting these days. It’s infectious.
All the tour dates this October are unique. A big thanks to all those on the ground in the different communities helping me get the word out, putting up posters or sharing the posts. Word of mouth always works best, I sure appreciate the assistance. I mention in the “Check-in” how advance ticket sales are such valuable data (and especially for morale!)

Lastly, real grateful to those who have upgraded their subscriptions. I’m going to be rolling out a more formal campaign but it is essentially this…grabbing a Substack subscription tier makes you one that’s making it happen. Please consider doing so.
Thanks for the update Blake! While you are in Alberta we will be in Mexico! I’m hoping to bring a song or two back from Teotihuacán and Mazatlán. Taking my compact travel guitar and my almost new Yamaha lunchbox amplifier. Looking forward to getting together again for coffee once we are both back in Regina.
