Addie's Tour

So, If my North American tour blog isn't enough for you - unbeknownst to me - thanks to my old friend, Tommy (and the wonders of modern technology) my dream of touring with Dolly Parton has come true! You can go to www.addiedollytour.blogspot.com to view our adventures (:

Well - I can't believe it, but I'm headed back to NYC. This particular journey has come to a close. I'll be doing shows (and posting pictures here) in NYC and the surrounding area until my next tour. Thank you all so much for the love, the laughs, the munchies, for coming to the shows and for all the encouragement. I plan on seeing you on the road again soon! In the mean time, remember...life is a highway, and I want to ride it all...night...long...hey yeah...hey yeah yeah yeah. *SMOOCH* - Addie



Proof that Andi is in fact only a foot and a half tall. I add water to her before the shows...



Andi and John and our gracious hostess for the weekend, Claudia (she's also Andi's mama)



Andi @ Elliot's



Me and...uh...this guy's venti soy chai @ Elliot's...



Joel and Al, co-billing w/ Andi and me @ Elliot's Fairgrounds in Norfolk. Guys - THANK you for covering "Oops I did it again" - brilliant - and it's obvious to everyone isn't it? That you're not that innocent?

From Richmond to Norfolk w/Andi...must we stop for ice cream AGAIN...




@ Ethos Cafe in Richmond...



Wow - my last weekend on tour. I couldn't think of any better way to spend it than to do a couple shows with my songwriting circle from NYC. Singin' away - my good and oh so talented friends, Alex Sweeton and Andi Rae Healy @ Ethos Cafe in Richmond...thanks gals for joining me!!!!

Who's more excited about the show tonight...mom or me?! I dunno...I dunno...

My high school geometry teacher, Mrs. Collier, taking a breather after doing a few stage dives with Mrs. Combs and Mr. DePriest




Some of the raucous crowd @ Down Home - you can tell by lookin' at 'em that I got heckled all night...


Cecil! Thanks for taking pictures at Down Home - my home town show - my camera was broken - so I owe you one!

A quick hug from Retta for the road...

Any time I'm in Tennessee, I like to glean a few tidbits of wisdom from the big cheese...



Brad and Retta were a little hazy about which date Halloween fell on this year...but that's cool.



I lived with this hair for 2 years in college. Sarah and Alan - thanks for the strawberry/cream cheese/pretzel thing you fed me. I miss ya! Supernanny may make a surprise visit in the future...



What a natural...Jes - Thanks for the sushi and great conversation...you're always a Tweed to me...





Some Nashville friends got bored during my set and took over. They did O-KAY I guess...



Writing and driving...maybe not the best combo, since I haven't mastered talking and tuning...



I was so excited for everyone to meet Weiner (left), but not as excited as SHE was for everyone to learn her college nickname...




It was so great to see old friends again, and meet new ones! - Lori and I went to high school together and her friend, Lolly has the coolest name ever...



After the show with those rowdy Palmer ladies, Shirley, Trena, Carolyn and Jill...next time would somebody please cut them off before Shirley starts dancing at the foot of the stage again?

Hey...Where's that guy going?



Me and Cath and the hat given to her by a 70 year old dude who had a crush on her...MAN, some gals have all the luck...

Wow - what a great shot of Caryl and Catherine - maybe one of my favorites....



I'll hug her and squeeze her and call her Caryl...




Just having a protein bar and some whole grains before the show with Griffins, Cath and Jaja

I'm not sure who this guy is, but apparently they let him out so he could drive some friends to my show in Knoxville @ Preservation Pub...
