A little catch-up…
I just spent two consecutive weekends playing two “songwriter festivals” and I have to tell you friends — I loved them. Two of the three festivals put on by rockymountainsogwriterfestivals.org , The Yellowstone and Whitefish Songwriter Festivals, have made me absolutely love this format and these types of gatherings.
Around 25 songwriters from all over are hand-picked to come and participate in song-swaps (or workshops as they are known by at Canadian festivals). I made so many new songwriter friends, who I might never have heard of out on the road. This was such a blast. I encourage you to look them up, consider attending and even becoming a member or even a board member. They were both stellar. No doubt about it.
I will most likely be playing at minimum the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival next year, but if I can work it out and they’ll have me, I’d do them all every year!
Thanks to Mike Booth (executive producer), all the volunteers, and all who donated housing and rooms. These were really special to me - I won’t forget them and can’t wait for the next!
AmericanaFest
When you read this I’ll be dropping off my rental car and heading to Bozeman airport, on my way to Nashville for the Americana Music Association “AmeriancaFest".” Those of you who are familiar with South By Southwest will know the format and the massive influx of musicians and bands to music city to play in club after club, night after night.
My fantastic indie label (Blue Corn Music) as well as my manager, publicist, radio promoters, and band are all “in it to win it” with me. For fun, take a look at these groovy flyers…
I do love black…
The record comes out on 9/29!!! So close! Don’t forget to pre-save the album by downloading the single(s) here…https://orcd.co/alone-at-sea-single

Michael O'Connor and Jeff Plankenhorn will be on the road together again, in March of 2024 - still kickin'. Between the two of them, they have co-written, played, and sung on enough albums to program at least a solid week's worth of Grade-A Americana radio. On that station you'd hear many of the biggest names in Texas music of the last 25 years, from Ray Wylie Hubbard and Joe Ely to Terri Hendrix, Slaid Cleaves, Ruthie Foster, Adam Carroll, Patty Griffin, and Malford Milligan. But in addition to being two of the best guitar-slinging songwriting cats in the Americana music world, they're both lifetime performers with critically acclaimed solo careers of their own. O'Connor's heartstring-tugging tenor vocals bring a disarming warmth to his gritty Gulf Coast blues, with lyrics inspired by a lifetime of hard-won life experiences both on and off-stage giving him a keen insight into the world of the rough, the faithless, the romantic, and the unlucky — all of whom find refuge in his songs. And Plankenhorn (or "Plank," as he is affectionately known in music circles) has a soulful voice as resonant as his renowned slide guitar playing — both perfect instruments for his stirring blend of not just roots, rock, and folk, but gospel, bluegrass, and Motown. Plank has an Austin Music Award under his belt as well as being 2018 major grant recipient from Blackfret. Side by side, trading songs and stories back and forth with the natural easy and familiarity of blood brothers in arms, they put on a show not to be missed.
Their "limited edition” CD version of the new album, Nothing More To Prove - will only available at shows in Texas.
Their previous CD. Nothing To Prove - is only available physically at shows in Texas. It is available worldwide - digitally.
