Eight Songs I've Sung

I recently posted, onto 8tracks.com, a group of eight songs I have sung on, for your possible listening enjoyment, including songs from Spain, Charlie Haden Family & Friends, Esbjörn Svenssön Trio, Soulsavers, Blue Man Group, and Handsome Boy Modeling School.

Two More Ways To Tell Me Where Spain Should Play

Alternatively, or in addition to, the Spain GigsWiz widget, tell the Spain Eventful widget below where you'd like Spain to play. And/or, if you'd like, join my mailing list here, and the city/state/country in which you reside will be recorded (if you want it to). Any and all of these methods will help me decide where we'll play when it comes time to book the first Spain tour since 2001.

Tell Me Where Spain Should Play

My band Spain is in the studio right now recording our new album. But when we're finished recording, we'll start trying to book a tour, and quite possibly we'll play in your town, or a town close to you.

Spain - Only One - 1 Dec 1995 Rockamadour, Dour, Belgium

Spain performing the song "Only One" 1 Dec 1995 at Rockamadour, Dour, Belgium.

Download the entire show for free from archive.org.

This was the second European show Spain ever played.

The first was at Les Inrockuptibles 1995 festival in Rennes, France in front of about 1500 people.

The show at Rockamadour was in a basement in front of about thirty people (if my memory serves me right).

It was so cold we had to wear all our winter gear on stage, and we could still see the frost from our breath.

Spain never made a proper recording of "Only One", enjoy it here.
