Have you performed at Boulevard before? Any memories?
Yes! At least 10 times. My favorite memories are from the first few times I played there with my father John McEuen (nearly 20 years ago), but also sharing the bill with Brett Dennen, and the last show I did with Natalie Gelman, are some of my favorite memories. Most of all, working with everyone at Boulevard Music has always been a pleasant experience, and I’m always looking forward to returning.
What can we expect from the set this time?
In this show, aside from the many stories and songs from my career and heritage, I will highlight/feature the newest tracks from my latest EP My One And Only, in addition to sharing in the newest music and stories related to the movie I’m producing.
What else do you have coming up?
I have a few projects in the works. In addition to my latest album release, and touring, I’m already in talks with my label (Mesa Bluemoon) to release another album in 2026. Aside from the music business, I have plenty to keep me busy for the next few years, as I’m actively producing a full length documentary feature film, due 2028.
