This summer has been a tumultuous one! I’ve moved three times, I went to New York and played Off-Broadway, and I went on an extensive tour of the northwest. Only just last month did I finally land in the city I’ll be living in for the next little while. As much fun as it’s been living out of a suitcase, I’m ready to settle down for a little while. The biggest letdown of moving has been that all of my music connections are now gone. All the people I knew and the network I had exists only in Idaho and Utah, and now that I live in San Diego, I feel like I’ll have to start all the way over. It’s a bit daunting, but I’ve been hunting down opportunities in studios, guitar stores, and on Craigslist. Surprisingly, I’ve had a decent amount of success online, and I’ve joined a band called Selfish Giant with other auditions and opportunities in the works. It’s going to be a struggle building a fresh network in a new city, but I feel confident that the right doors will open to me as I seek them out.
