My 9 games. Kind of all over the map, but you can see I got bit by the RPG bug at some point.

There's a lot of stages, cities, & sights I'll never see, but there's plenty of folks who'll never know the feeling of seeing the afternoon sun shine over the hill at the August Hill Winery production facility after a day of sweating, playing music, and drinking wine. Grateful.

Thanks to my buddy @vanwinkle.bsky.social for the @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social merch! I'll be wearing this one all over Chicagoland. Get yours!

Unfortunate news. I'll see ya next year, Sad By.

I've poked fun at Mike for the apple thing a time or two, but he's absolutely a braver man than I in this instance. I have a phobia of birds and would not go in a chicken coop, let alone let one climb on me, for $1000.

This is such a cool idea, Chuck! Here's mine. giantbomb.com/ogu

Felt a lil fancy tonight. Air fried chicken cutlets, arugula, and tomato garlic confit on biscuits. Hell yeah.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Had about half a song written, was feeling pretty good about it, then realized it was like 70% the same melody and cadence as another song of mine and even used the same rhyme in the chorus. Gonna have to put it back on the shelf til I forget how it sounded.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

It's wild how four years can seem like barely a moment but also my whole life at the same time. I can hardly remember what it felt like to not have you by my side, and I'll never have to know that feeling again. Happy fourth anniversary to my sweet and beautiful Rissa! @awkwrdunicorn.bsky.social

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

"Socialism has never worked." Motherfucker, capitalism has produced school lunch debt, bankruptcy from life-saving medical procedures, and for-profit prisons. Capitalism isn't working.

Welp, first time a venue has used AI to make a flyer for me this shit sucks who the fuck is that guy in the background

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

People gotta stop using "America-hating" like it's some kind of insult instead of, you know, a perfectly reasonable position to have.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

More often than not, I'm just playing to the chairs

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

I thought so too! After a few drinks, but still

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

2nd gig of the day! 10-56 Brewing in Knox, IN 5:30-8:30. But first I'm gonna put a dent in their buffalo chicken pizza.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Ok here me out, a Hank Williams tribute band that plays in a Texas Tornados style. Hank Señor Someone can have that one.

I know I'm a bad person with bad taste cause anytime I see these I think "Yeah that looks neat."

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

My thinking with festivals is always "I'll go when I'm booked." But I reckon I might just have to go to Laurel Cove one of these years and stop holding my breath

020

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Here's where to find me this month! Working on adding more dates.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Goldeneye isn't even the best game in that engine on that platform!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Pssst. Over the past couple months, I've been putting up live videos from the South of Mars release show on my Patreon! If you wanna see the full Big Breakfast playing your favorite tune from the album, as little as $5 gets you access! It was one of the best nights of my life. patreon.com/jamesgedda

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

I can only assume if you're not drinking Burn Em Brewing beers with me, you're drinking them against me. Playing noon-3 today!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

The rhythm of this job is weird. A busy month this month means a more stable month next month. But being busy with gigs impacts my energy levels to do the booking etc which usually leads to less gigs next couple months. Throw a cancellation in and the whole balance is fucked.

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Been following the site since 2011. This past year is my favorite in the history of the site. Cheers, gents!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Hey, friends. Unfortunately, I won't be able to perform at On The Rocks in Waukegan today as cold winds have made it miserable out there and my performance has been cancelled. I'll keep you posted on a make up date!

000

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Hell yeah. Hope your day is a good one too, bud!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

"The days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days." Today feels like a good day. TODAY: August Hill Winery in Utica, IL 3:30-6:30 TOMORROW: On The Rocks in Waukegan, IL 3-6 I'll see y'all out there!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

It's easy to make cracks about Charley Crockett's release pace, but I'm sitting on 3 different album ideas and no money to make em happen. Still haven't fulfilled all the fundraiser promises from SoM. If I had his checkbook and fanbase, I'd be putting out two records a year too.

020

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

FRIDAY! Bringing The Big Breakfast back to Broken Hearts for a night of honky tonkin! This is a great bar and we always have a hell of a time, so make plans to come join us in Chicago!

James Gedda @jamesgedda.bsky.social · 26/04/2026
