Announcing the 2010 Two Wheel Tour

Greetings, friend!

I am pleased to announce to you my Spring tour, which will encompass all of the major cities from Chapel Hill to Boston.

One reason that I am extra-excited about this trip is that I’m going to be doing things a little differently. Instead of driving a car from city to city, making my way up the coast powered by fossil fuels and reliance on our vast (and vastly expensive) interstate system, engulfed in our hurried, irreverent culture, I am going to attempt to inhabit a new mindset: slow movement. Meditative travel.

I am going to ride my bike to Boston.

This is a totally new kind of adventure for me. I have never been on an extended bicycle trip and have no way of fully grasping what’s in store.

But I’ve known for a long time that the centeredness required to be faithful to the music I’ve written is contradicted by the superficiality and hurriedness in the typical career of a professional musician.

If I am going to come to your city and be fully present with you in the moment, I need to be in my body, breathing, and having been present with the land as it passed below and around me.

Thus, I present to you: The Two Wheel Tour.

Jon Watts and his Radish
