Focus may be a bit understated as this tour has been on the, "Cozy" side and although their quarters aren't cramped; well let's just say they've all gotten to know and appreciate each other a bit more.
"We've been out a lot earlier this year and we're just coming off a little break right now, we're really just hitting it; I haven't toured this much in 15 years. I love it, we have such a good band, musically it's exciting; it's good every night and they're all people that I like to hang out with. So it's a fun thing but I don't necessarily like being away from home so much at a time but being away from home and have it be such a positive road experience is second best. We're doing this tour in a van and a car but there's actually plenty of room for us to spread out and there's room for the merch; it's not exactly a shoestring budget but it's also not a big expenditure. This isn't unusual for Dave, he's been a workhorse year round for many years. I'm a little older than Dave so I had slowed down a little bit and I've been jokingly saying that I've been retired even though it wasn't true. I was still playing but I just wasn't playing every night."
There are three area shows this week with the SOPAC first, followed by November 3 at The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY and November 4 at The Sellersville Theater in Sellersville, PA. Gilmore says that there's a mix of intensity and beauty to be found at each.
"You can expect some really intense blues rock guitar from Dave; he's one of the best and he's high powered and intense. Then we veer off into beautiful ballads and poignant sort of music; there's a little touch of country in all of it, country and blues."
