October sees the Long Ryders tour in support of their album, High Noon Hymns, finally hit the United Kingdom. Due to the success of High Noon Hymns the demand for concerts was such the Long Ryders are doing a longer than usual British tour. The tour will have more than a few surprises❗️

Here is Bruce Springsteen's high school photo from his 1967 yearbook and mine from my 1972 yearbook. Our Moms had us both in a coat and tie and you will note the same haircut. Other than a mutual obsession with rock & roll and guitars I gotta admit the similarities end there. ☹️ Viva le rock!

The Long Ryders have a new North American 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 booking agent, Tom Konitzer of the prestigious Anniversary Group in Brooklyn, NYC. We are now planning USA west coast dates for June 2027 and east coast dates for October 2027. Hope to see you then❗️

Wish you all could have witnessed the Coal Porters🎻🪕headline set on the Kingfisher stage at the Ely Folk Festival in lovely Cambridgeshire tonight❗️We played well, we communicated even better, and the festival audience were simply marvelous. So happy to be a member of the Coal Porters❗️👍

Left: this poster of Hendrix playing a Strat with a Tele neck was on my wall in Kentucky for years. My parents hated it. My Mom asked why he looked unhappy & my Dad asked why he was wearing his bathrobe onstage. I kid you not. On the right Hendrix jams with Eric Burdon and Buddy Miles to end his set

The Coal Porters play this very Sunday night 9:30pm at the Ely Folk Festival. C’mon, come see us….it is truly a great festival too. 🎻🪕

Jean-Baptiste Cardineau’s Saturday night concert was one of the best things I have seen in ages! Highly recommended if you like highly polished Americana indie jazzy bluegrass. 👍 youtu.be/cd_WCRu-XrQ?...

Happy Father’s Day to all the hard working Dads out there! From my family to yours…KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK❗️👴🏻

The Long Ryders tour 🇬🇧 in October and cannot wait! Please take 59 seconds out of your day and check us out live and in living colour. And we hope to see you in the autumn!

Hope you can read the caption. The Trump administration puts convicted felons and chat show hosts in positions of power whether or not they have experience in the area. Don't see how anyone can defend that.

Here are my students at the Third Annual Sid Griffin Workshopalooza in Italy practicing a tune for the public concert they give 5pm today, Friday. If you play Long Ryders style guitar you will LOVE this course! See you next year?

The Third Annual Sid Griffin Workshopalooza rolls on. We had a crack 🇮🇹 rhythm section today with Jon Luca on drums and Guido on bass so the students REALLY did sound like the Long Ryders. You talk about fun❗️Tomorrow 5pm local time the guys play a concert to the local public. 😳

The third full working day of the Third Annual Workshopalooza held by Yours Truly really was a total blast today. I wish everyone reading this could have been there. The students learned more Long Ryders songs & a Byrds cover. After a totally yummy dinner we had a 90 minute singsong. Life is good.

Tuscany 🇮🇹is not to be believed! The Third Annual Sid Griffin Workshopalooza is going incredibly well 🎸 and here are a few photos to illustrate the joy we are having here in under the Italian sun🌞. And the food here is delicious❗️

The THIRD Annual Workshopalooza is underway in Tuscany 🇮🇹 and already I am having a blast with my students! Tomorrow is Day One of my teaching these worthy guitarists Long Ryders songs. As well as how to stand onstage looking cool.😎

Here is a two minute glimpse at how great this last Long Ryders tour was. Remember we tour the UK 🇬🇧in October and tickets are on sale NOW. 😎

AllStars Gym on the Harrow Road this morning was just the tonic for a road weary musician. I made it through all two hours! Not bad for an old dude, eh?

The Long Ryders tour is over and I miss the guys already. But I cannot complain as my garden is in bloom as Mother Nature dazzles us yet again. (It is kinda Her way of rocking out.🎸 🎙️🥁)

The Long Ryders tour ended in Copenhagen at Loppen, one of our fave venues on earth. What a gig! And what tour. I thought it was the best tour we have ever but ever done…I refer to both our performances and the organizational skills of all at Otis Tours. Love to Diego, Fabio, and dear Claudia.
