Michelle Malone's Summertime Tour Letter 2010!

I hope you're well and happy and ready for the summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime!! I'm great! I've been touring a little less this year...trying to get a life, ie, grilling in my yard, going to movies, growing tomato's, etc. So far this year I've gotten a life from Texas to Germany, and we're headed to Toronto, Cincinnati, Greenville and more this summer! HA HA HA HA! It's June, and i'm finally back in the swing of festivals, house concerts, and sending out tour letters...i know...it's been a loooong time coming - sorry for the delay...my library books were always late, too...

Tales From Austin

Tales from Austin
Current mood: grateful

Of all the years that I’ve been coming to Austin, TX to play music, this year was the busiest, the strangest, and the most enjoyable! This was a special trip filled with new experiences, old friends, and hundreds of guitars! I’ve also come to a place in my life where I have buckets of gratitude to spare. It helps me create time, space, and awareness for the people and events I encounter every day.

We flew into Austin Thursday with nary a glitch...and Woody Harrelson was on the flight...a good omen! We found our driver at baggage claim holding up a sign that read “Michelle Malone Banned”. People may have thought he was protesting!

Dirty south, bluesy rock. Sweet slide guitar. You’ll feel the earth move under your bare feet - a Top 50 release of 2006 - Pop Matters


"Sugarfoot is as raw, magnificent, dirty and low down as anything you'll ever wanna hear in blues music - our blues-breaker CD for the week" - Dan "Elwood" Akroyd, House of Blues Radio


Hour Adventurous, slithery and ebullient slide - sings and plays with cool confidence throughout ala Bonnie Raitt and Shelby Lynn - Blues Revue


Malone's “Sugarfoot will take you down to the crossroads and send you back dazed, disheveled and half-naked.”—Harp


Sugarfoot is a Top 10 blues release of 2006 - Malone's rich vocals blew me away. Bonnie Raitt you better start sweating now. Great range, too. She's bursting with attitude and stomping like a prettier Janis Joplin - straight up slide guitar rock that'll "drop you to your knees" It's pure ear candy with a shot of Bourbon." - The Blues Critic
