Cyro Baptista will return to the road with Trey Anastasio starting Thursday night at The Fillmore in Detroit. Over the course of the tour he’ll be sharing a tour diary with photos. Here’s the first installment…

I’m so thrilled to be back together with Trey and the band. Everything came together to be perfect with the timing of it! I returned from a month long tour of Brazil with three of my projects (Banquet of the Spirits, Beat The Donkey and Vira Locos). A few days later I was rehearsing with TAB at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair. It was a whirlwind!!

We spent 3 long days rehearsing and going over everything. I’m itching to get this music out on the road!! The new songs are amazing – very complex and intricate. And it’s so much fun to get back to playing those old ones again!

I can’t wait to share pictures and thoughts with you all along the way! This is going to be a very special tour!

Love,

Cyro

These 2 pictures here show where I’ve been for the past week or so – in my studio), practicing music for the tour! I fly out to meet the band this morning!! Here we go… Photos by Justin Bias

When I’m learning the songs – I make myself maps of each tune. Only I can possibly understand the meaning of them!!

After a long day of rehearsing the music… the charts start attacking! That’s when I know its time to stop for the day.

There is a reason my studio is called Out of My Mind Studios!!! Photos by Justin Bias
