On January 1st, 2010, Charlie Faye pulled out of her hometown of Austin, Texas, to embark on a modern bohemian adventure. In 10 months, Charlie made her home in 10 different towns; Tucson, AZ, Los Angeles, CA, Portland, OR, Boulder, CO, Shreveport, LA, Burlington, VT, Milwaukee, WI, Nashville, TN, Asheville, NC, and New York, NY.

When asked why she would chose to tour in this unusual way, Charlie answers: "Ask any musician, on returning from a tour, 'How was Seattle? What was Chicago like? - and they'll tell you: "I don't know, man, we just loaded out of the van and played... and then got back in the van and kept driving."

But Charlie didn't want to just skim the surface. Instead of landing in a city, playing a show, and taking off the next day, Charlie spent a month actually getting to know the people and personality of each place she made her home.

Traveling alone, Charlie put together a new band in each town. Playing and hanging out with musicians in each town gave Charlie a really unique perspective on our national music culture. Looking back at the year, Charlie says, "If this isn't Americana music, I don't know what is."
