Thanks for giving a damn,
-Otis
I was given this bouquet of wildflowers after my sold out gig in Veenhuizen, Netherlands.
I visited a Cat Museum on an off day in Amsterdam.
Woke up in this beautiful old house surrounded by mother nature in Kerk Avezaath, Netherlands
I got to the gig early enough to visit a nearby castle in Kilkenny, Ireland
I woke up in this beautiful old mansion on the south coast of England and was the only person staying there. Not a bad way to spend an off day. Thank you very much to the Sidmouth Folk Festival for making it happen.
