noteworthy, then, that representatives of the Sixthman clan are taking to

the road in a bus tour that will hit various intimate venues

nationwide for the Summer Road Trip while spotlighting some of the artists that play Cayamo and

the company's other cruises. While the talent doesn't exactly qualify

for headliner status -- Chuck Cannon, Tim Brantley, Bronze Radio Return,

and Trailer Park Ninjas are among those being touted -- the tour does

offer an introduction to many of the performers that have become

regulars on the various Sixthman circuit, Cayamo included. 

tour kicks off with a stop at Miami's Transit Lounge this evening. Naturally, you can expect the company reps to be on hand,

chatting up the audience and encouraging those in attendance to sign up

for one of their many outings. Sadly, next year's Cayamo, set to embark

in February, is already sold out, but there is a waiting list for those

who want to hold out for a possible opening. However, with the recent

announcement that Lucinda Williams has been added to the 2012 lineup, I

wouldn't be holding my breath.
