The Music & Travel
📷 Rick Damm c. August 2024
This year is full of fly-dates, one-offs with a handful of artists, and international trips with Sarah.
Slowing down a bit from last year (2023 included: Mexico, Finland, Estonia, Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary). This year, Sarah and I plan to be in Mexico, Montreal, Munich Germany for Oktoberfest, and Nuremberg Germany to experience the German tradition of “Beer Wandering.”
Outside of major tour announcements, I don’t post my music calendar on my website anymore but I usually post about it on /instagram and talk specifics on the /podcast.
If you’re coming to a show, or if I’ll be in your city, reach out and I’d love to cheers in person.
The Photography
Life’s a curious thing, no? My photography was a private interest for years but now continues to take up more and more of my time.
Besides the candid-documentary film photographs that I regularly make while backstage or on the road, I’m currently heading up the photography and art direction for multiple artists’ albums that will be released later this year.
Fuji X Weekly did an in-depth feature on my photography here -> /FujiInterview

Music Video
Along with having the honor of shooting Caitlyn Smith’s latest 2024 release, “Mother Of Three” I was asked to shoot/direct the accompanying music video and was thrilled that She was down to experiment with recording it fully analog on VHS.
The Podcast
Along with the regular “long-form” conversations, EVERY DAY IN 2024, I’m releasing a podcast episode where I’m sharing… well… I guess you’ll just have to check it out.
Give it a listen on Spotify, iTunes, or follow your curiosity here: www.thecuriouspod.com
The Writing
I can’t say too much about this right now but, every day I’m not on the road, I’m spending a few hours at my laptop or my 1953 Olympus SM3 typewriter.
I’m excited to share more soon!

After twelve years of being married, Sarah and I talked it over and we agree that we still like each other… I asked if she was down to stay married to me this year… she said that’s fine… and we still like living in South Minneapolis with our two cats, Strider & Luna.
