Starting in Woodstock, ending up in the western wilds of Scotland, the Celsi, Bragg & Maitland UK 2018 road trip covered 20 dates in 30 days.

We changed things up a bit this time round with some stellar special guests! Joining us onstage at select shows were Tony Poole (of Starry-Eyed & Laughing and the highly acclaimed Bennett Wilson Poole) and from Chicago, USA, composer/multi-instrumentalist (and my very own son!) Ivan Pyzow.  To fill in for Duncan Maitland on some of the gigs we welcomed Robyn Gibson (of The Junipers), Dan Beaulaurier and Neil Sturgeon (of The Goldenhour and the Infomaniacs)! And along the way, we were thrilled to share the stage with some of our favorite UK artists – Bob of the Pops, Kontiki Suite, Dropkick and The Wellgreen.

New CD coming out on Steel Derrick Records: Nelson, Anny and Duncan are just sprinkling the final fairy dust on a new release: Celsi, Bragg & Maitland: The Road to Glasgow.  The album is a celebration of their past and future adventures touring in the UK, with new songs from all three writers, previously unreleased covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Paul Kelly and Peter Holsapple, and a few choice tunes recorded live at Glasgow's Elba Sessions during their 2011 tour.  Copies will be available along the tour route, along with tour t-shirts and our combined back catalog of music!

Next week Nelson Bragg and I head into the catacombs of Lincoln Lounge studio to begin recording some new material for the upcoming tour.  Look for a new tour-only release featuring new songs plus some previously unavailable material - and a set of live tunes from our 2011 tour with Duncan Maitland!  And if you haven't done it already, please hop over and Like our Facebook Tour Page to stay in the loop on all our news, shows and updates!
