…AND WE’RE BACK!

Hello everyone,

Sun Airway has returned from our first European tour. Overall, it was pretty amazing for us and among the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Thanks so much to everyone that came out or helped out, couldn’t have done it without you. And biggest thanks of all to the euro SA lineup, which included Jonathan Nigro on the drums and Daniel Armitage on the bass. Daniel normally plays keys and samplers but made the switch for this tour so we could slim down for travel purposes. Jonathan learned all the drums (which includes somewhat incomprehensible electronic drum pad business) in about 2 weeks and totally tore it up since Patrick had to be an adult and stay home. These dudes put in heaps of effort in a short amount of time and were the best travel companions anyone could ask for, truly. Also gotta thank Miranda for busting out some sweet sleigh bell solos on stages across europe and keeping us in check when she wasn’t in a dramamine-induced slumber in the back of the van.

All that said, it’s nice to be home. Time to get seriously down to business on another album and probably not tour for a while. While we were over there, Daniel reminded me of a cover I did a bunch of years back that I didn’t even have a copy of. He just sent it to me and I thought I’d share it here since even though it was released under the a-sides name, I made it at home in my room in more of the sun airway spirit. It was part of a compilation of Philly bands covering other Philly bands and I chose one of my all-time philly favorites, “Expressway to Your Heart” by the Soul Survivors. Enjoy!
