Building a “news” section has been prompted by Eisenbraun’s first mini-tour in support of the new self-titled disc. Written from April to July of 2003, this is his first commercially packaged & stamped venture, & will feature artwork by William Suk & Ryan Seth Thompson. For the recording sessions, guest musicians Juan Guarcia (lap steel, banjo; of Saturday Looks Good To Me), Josh Ippel (keyboards, knobs; of Lapel), Perry Trolard (drums; of the Dream Machine) & Elizabeth Dieleman (vocals) were invited to add their talents to Eisenbraun’s thesis-driven pop songwriting & finger style acoustic guitar work. The tour, starting off at the dear alma mater in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will take a sidestep to see old friends & for house concerts on the east coast before returning to Michigan for shows in Detroit, Traverse City, Grand Rapids & Grand Haven. The tour will end back in St Louis on December 4 at Off-Broadway for the home-town CD release party.
