On February 26th, I was lucky enough to get some of Derek’s time and interview him for [derekwebb.net]. I am unbelievably indebted to Steve Talley and David Beuerman for their hard work in transcribing this extremely long interview.

If you want to grab an MP3 of this interview, please feel free to do so. You may also share this with whomever you like; we just ask that you don’t upload it to a file-sharing service or to Ragamuffin. Let us bear the brunt of the bandwidth blow.

Now, onto the interview…

Know a venue in Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, or Kentucky that would be great for a Derek Webb show? According to Dave McCollum, Derek’s manager, there’s a need for an April 14, 2005 date to fill a gap in the tour, and those four states would be a perfect fit.

Contact Dryve Artist Management if you have a serious possibility for Dave to consider.

Susan Bill of Ground Force Network wrote in to let us know that they’re going to handle the new Derek Webb street team focused around Derek’s impending tour. Need email? Contact GFN to get on the street team. We think that you should get involved.

Derek is selling a Burns Double Six Electric 12 String Guitar on eBay. It’s hardly been used, but Derek’s owned it; if you’re in the line for an electric 12-string and want to own a guitar that Derek’s owned, this is the auction for you.
