A Bio by Jason Anderson: I started touring in 1999. By 2002 I had quit my day jobs and committed to life on the road, playing shows for at least seven months a year from that point forward. With the exception of a few tours opening up for friends Kimya Dawson, Tilly and the Wall, David Dondero, Mount Eerie, I have booked every show myself. There have been weirdly long tours, like the time I was out for five months straight. There have been awesomely non-traditional tours, too, like the one I did on bicycle around New England. And there have been wonderfully specific ones, like my State Series: I've done tours exclusive to Florida and New Jersey at this point, and North Dakota is in the works. This is not a joke. This has been a real life-changing adventure, and whether there are five people or fifty people at the show itself, I give it everything I've got, night after night. I feel so lucky to be doing what I love.
