Sweet baby Jesus. Past 30 days or so have been like a dream. Honestly, i didn't really think I'd be doing this stuff again like this, and then with the Good Luck Campout right in the middle of all this Grandaddy stuff... My heart is just packed full right now. Saw lots of old friends, met some new ones, got to wander in cities I've missed wandering around in and hopefully we brought some joy and some new memories to these places too. I'm so grateful and happy to have been a part of all these things. Thank you Grandaddy bandmates and Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit family for making it all happen. Last show tonight in Philly! LOVE YOU ALL!!! #grandaddymusic #tgltso #pearldrums #nikfreitas #jimputnam #joeljeromemusic #mcphearsongoods @normalsim @littleechos

Alright. Tbh, I haven't really posted on social media in years and i keep forgetting things that i mean to include in my communications . Like at this Good Luck Campout, I'm not only playing drums for the Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit every single day of the festival, but I'll also be playing a set with my other other band, Sylvan Improvement. Which I'm super stoked about. Get my indie rock on.

Campout Spotlight: @sylvanimprovement

Some of our members go as far back as elementary school with our good friend Neil @glad_neil . From living together, to recording records and practicing at the legendary Oakdale Tioga House, playing our first shows with our various bands together. Chris even played guitar in @built_like_alaska for several years before Good Luck started. We have all respected and loved his songwriting for as long as he has been doing it. Neil’s new project Sylvan Improvement includes half our band! We are super excited to have them perform on Friday at The Good Luck Campout

“Neil Jackson—founder and singer of the renowned California indie-rock band Built Like Alaska—has launched a new project to bring his prolific catalog of songs to life: Sylvan Improvement. Longtime friends and collaborators Taylor Webster and Chris Doud (both of The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit), Aaron Burtch (TGLTSO and Grandaddy), and Travis Vick have joined in to help shape the sound. In between the rumblings of trains and loads of laundry, surrounded by animal heads and windchimes, the band recorded and has recently released a five-song EP titled, Gateway Motel. Bringing a rural perspective to sturdy rock songs, Sylvan Improvement’s music evokes images “as warm and rich as the Central Valley sun.”

Don’t miss @sylvanimprovement Friday, 9/26 at The Good Luck Campout! Day passes and camping still available!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the @queenbean_coffeehouse last night for the @offtheairmusic show. @completionsmusic and Lopi @creditelectric were great! Time is valuable and we’re grateful that you chose to spend it with us. Also, I like this picture because it’s kind of like that Bigfoot photo, are we real, do we exist or not?
