Joey Cape (Lagwagon) has announced a new solo record called A Good Year To Forget, out on August 13 on Fat Wreck Chords. 

The record, written in 2020 which featured a lack of live music and pandemic-related shutdowns in only part of that story as Cape also lost his father and separated from this wife, while also contracting COVID himself.

To call it challenging is an understatement. Now turning the figurative page, Cape returns with a new album and new live dates scheduled for early fall.
