DRH Photo Love...
...courtesy of Erik Thureson (the kick ass photog who took THESE photos at the HC) and his cooler than cool wife Judy. They went Mayercraftin' and Judy was kind enough to send along these photos to share. Amazing. Enjoy!

Cayamo Review
I read this great review about the Cayamo and Mayercraft cruises. It's really long so I've only included the DRH mentions.
Cayamo Day Three: "...After that Brenna and I went to see David Ryan Harris play a set at the Adriatic Lounge. We took the table right at the stage and after a few songs two women sit down next to me---it was Brandi and her mom, who were having a good time watching David perform. I had seen him 3.5 years ago, when he opened for Jamie Cullum but hadn't been able to catch any other sets of his, so I was happy when he was announced as a performer for Mayercraft and Cayamo. His set was soooo good. What a talented and funny guy. He told this story that if he were to be a Superhero, he would be 'Mister Emotional'. He even cried during one of his songs and made people in the audience cry with his beautiful lyrics. After the show Brandi went up to David, said a quick 'Hey' and ran off....at this point it was 2am so she was probably tired and didn't want to deal with fans. We also went back to our rooms to go to bed..."
Cayamo Day Five: "...After Brandi's set we went upstairs to the Lounge, where David Ryan Harris was due to play a set. I was upset that I missed Ernie Halter's set, but if I have to chose between Ernie and Brandi, Brandi wins. David's set was really good, I will definitely try to see him again.
Then we went to get some food, because I hadn't eaten since lunchtime and who did I meet outside at the midnight buffet? Josh of course Then we went to the Casino and stayed up until 3.30am, most people tried their luck gambling but I have been good and have not wasted any money on that..."
The blog is really a very well-written account of the goings-on and totally worth the read. Check it here: http://marinaiscruising.blogspot.com

DRH and Francisco Vidal from the MCC
Photos by Lez
Sooooo...got an email from Debbie Ocoboc hooking us up with some more DRH download love! She said she walked in on the first song, but was able to start recording on the second. Also said: "so in the hall of the boat by the big bar people sometime set up this was david and vidal and gabe dixon on piano and matt mangano on bass and dave barnes on drums...quite a band".
Quite a band indeed! A big thanks to Lez for the awesome photos, and to Debbie for recording and sharing with all of us, and a big thanks to the band for being fierce! The recording is about 26 minutes, untracked, and the set list is as follows:
I Wish (by Stevie Wonder)
Raspberry Beret (by Prince)
Leaving Las Vegas (by Sheryl Crow)
What's Going On (by Marvin Gaye)
Get it HERE.

Alumni Just Get Better With Age
From the Sixthman Blog:
The Semi-Circle Jerks
The Alumni Crowd
For the past couple of years, Sixthman has always tried to do something special for repeat guests. Usually in the form on an onboard spending credit, but this year we wanted to give everyone something a little more special. After months of discussion, budgeting, and designing, we came up with a universal alumni plan that had longevity and that we thought could eventually span over all of our cruises. We decided to present it to The Rock Boat first to see if they were as excited about it as we were.
Turns out, they sure were.
In this new program, when you are a guest of a certain number of Sixthman events, you earn a prize. Could be a t-shirt, track jacket, or bathrobe in the case of TRB, but we also had something extra special for everyone who had attended more than 3 previous events (that included over 600 people!).
We put a call out to a bunch of our artists asking them to participate in an exclusive alumni show for this group of people. The response was great, and we ended up with a concert jam packed full of talent – Ken and Drew from Sister Hazel, Marc Broussard, Pat McGee, David Ryan Harris, Marc Broussard, Josh Kelley, Aslyn, Dave Yaden, and Oakhurst. (Incredible, right?) The whole group (nicknamed the Semi-Circle Jerks) got together for a couple of short rehearsals to work through some cover tune favorites.
All of the alumni filed in and most sat on the floor. We encouraged floor seats because the show was completely unplugged. And, at this point, no one knew who was playing. After the guests were in, Andy and I introduced the new band, and everyone went nuts. It was the perfect mix for this crowd.
The Semi-Circle Jerks played The Weight, Seven Bridges Road, The Joker medley, and Rock Boat favorite – Drift Away. The whole show gave me such chills. It was a powerful moment to hear the band play completely unplugged and the crowd singing along to every song. Really amazing.
The artists were completely hilarious, ribbing each other and having a lot of fun the entire time. And, if you could picture Marc Broussard with a tight blue shirt, navy blue spandex shorts, a sweatband on his head, skating around the stage on heelies after every song, maybe you could get a better idea of the fun we al had.
We had a couple people record it, and got a little bit of video footage, so when that’s loaded and ready to go, I’ll be sure to post it somewhere. It was too good not to share.
Alumni, thanks for coming back year after year. I hope you know how much we appreciate you. Newbies, now you have something great to look forward to from now on. You know, besides the actual cruise, right?

For All You Mayercruiser's...
...a bulletin from the DRH camp:
Jan 31, 2008 2:09 PM
Subject: Info for Mayercraft Sailers
Body: YO FOLKS!
DRH will be playing his set from 4:30-5:30 in the Adriatic Lounge on Sunday aboard the Mayercraft Carrier. Make sure to come back here after the cruise and let us know what you thought of your MCC experience, especially DRH's show!
Remember the cardinal rule, friends: If you hear "I could use a shot of Patron" from the stage, he means it.
Be safe and don't go overboard,

Too Late to Say Happy '08
Thursday, January 17, 2008
too late to say happy 08
Current mood: adventurous
Category: Life
Even though this is supposed to be the first newsletter of the new year, I am writing it as though it is the last newsletter of the old year. I'll level with you, I'm still cleaning up 2007 and the way I see it, you can't really say that 2007 is over until the trash people make the first pick up of 2008 anyway.
2008 is gonna start with a flurry of activity from the man with three names, so hold on tight because I'm like those storms in the midwest wrapped up in a Muhammad Ali press conference multiplied times Dennis Miller's monologue on cocaine (except you might actually understand more than one of my references unlike the Dennis Miller onslaught):
First, I'm off to the land down under to start work on a record with/for this uber talented guy, Guy Sebastian. I'll be producing and writing and engineering and programming and playing and making coffee. My new year's resolution is to better multi-task, so I'm going at it hard because I'm sure I'll fizzle out sometime in early March.
After Oz, its Rockboat Time.
January 19- 24.
A cruise ship. A bunch of bands. 5 days of music. Meet and Greet. Gambling Lite. Work on a buzz. Get Off Ship. Repeat. Actually, the "repeat" comes later. Don't read ahead, just remember I told you so.
Then, Starring in this month's "Guess Who's Coming To New York City?", it's none other than...................drum roll, please........DRH. Yup, i'll bring my one-man-solo-acoustic-all ages-extravaganza to the Highline Ballroom January 26th at 7:30pm. I'm sure NYC is gonna feel cold after sailing the Carribean, so bring your crew, I'll need body heat.
After that, its "D.R.H. vs S.O.B." on January 27th.
Not down with acronyms?
Not down with O.P.P.?
okay, i'll break it down......David Ryan Harris will bring said solo acoustic extravaganza to Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta, Georgia on January 27th, 2008 (only this time, it isn't all ages)
Tired yet?
Good, because next we have "David Ryan Harris Eats Ham".
That's right, I'm gonna burn up I-20 West so I can (quiet) storm Birmingham, AL. (and I love switching from 1st to 3rd person like a real crazy person). January 30th. All Ages. Workplay Theater. Birmingham, AL. Be there. Don't Mess This Up. There hasn't been a DRH show in Birmingham since the September when we were still hating on Katrina.
Now repeat step 2, only this time its The MayerCraft Carrier and it only lasts for 4 days. Feb 1-4. I'll play a set with my band (including JJ Johnson, Michael Chaves and Sean Hurley) Plus, for bonus points, I'll play with John Mayer in his band like three times or something. (bonus points=job security). Tickets/Cabins are still available. (http://www.mayercraftcarrier.com)
Now I'm getting a little tired.
Its a good thing that the next step in my flurry of activities is back to the time tested "sit your tired ass in a chair and play solo acoustic guitar again" format, because Feb 4-10 will find me (full of dramamine) aboard Cayamo, A five day floating singer-songwriter-y type cruise thing-y. I'll be there with artists like Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Brandi Carlile. I think I even get to keep my same cabin from the Mayercraft Carrier!
And guess what?
(what?)
Tickets/Cabins are available for this too! (http://www.cayamo.com)
After that......
I'll probably throw up.
alot.
What a way to start '08, huh?
see you soon.
