Antsy McClain, lead singer of The Trailer Park Troubadours, the semi-official band of Airstream, will be winging his way to Europe for a series of performances this March.
When asked about the upcoming shows by Airstream Europe, Antsy said, "Basically, this is an experiment for me, to see how my music goes over to a European audience. I've always suspected that my message of 'Enjoy the Ride' is universal. My friends Edgar Cruz and Tommy Emmanuel have been very gracious with me, allowing me to ride along on their shoulders, horning in on their tour dates, and I'm very grateful.
I've wanted to come to Europe for years, and the opportunity came up and I jumped at it. I'm blown away by the international community Airstream has generated. I've got to meet Airstreamers from all over America. How cool would it be to meet Airstreamers across the great pond! This is awesome. If folks have any questions, they can contact me via e-mail at thetroubs@unhitched.com. I'll try and check my e-mail daily while I'm there."
