Hey folks!

I’m halfway through the “American Me” Tour! New York was incredible and now I’m preparing for my big Hong Kong show. Meanwhile, I’ve been invited by MTV IGGY to guest blog about my experiences on the tour as part of their Bands on Tour series. Keep up with my travels, the ups and downs to being on the road, and all the quirks in between. Read the blog here.

It’s almost 4am. Can’t sleep due to excitement about the tour! Flying off to Big Apple tomorrow morning today but will blog about the tour right here on my site, as well as on MTV IGGY! Pics and updates to follow! Pray I don’t get sick. LA weather has spoiled me. For now I leave you with a little tune I conjured up about my trip. The lyrics are below:

(with lyrical help from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys)

I’m startin’ off in downtown
Playing there in Chinatown
Going to the Five Points -
Silk Road Café

Then I’m going upstate
Train to Poughkeesie
Vassar College – can’t wait
Who’s comin’ with me?

Coming back Sunday
Playing at the Bitter End
Hope you all can make it
Don’t forget to tell your friends

After that, it’s Googie’s
Right above the Living Room
4 Shows 4 Days
Then it’s time to go home from

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do

Going to New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
These lights will inspire you

See you in New York, New York, New York

I’m going to New York…
