about an hour ago on Twitter . . . super excited for this one - his Mission Bell album is wonderful
a friend saw him at last night opening for Lucinda Williams and loved his live show


one of my favorites with full band last week on Craig Ferguson

TFN, thanks for helping promote our nearest venue - I keep checking to see if/when GPN will be scheduled back. 12.11.10 was a great sold-out show. So hot, ST personnel were opening the fire escape doors in the balcony between songs... in December... in Maine!

Probably not to the taste of many here, but that Primus show 10/2 should be great. Primus releases its 1st new album in 11 yrs ("Green Naugahyde") on 9/20 - am expecting a healthy dose of new songs mixed in with old standards (Primus....standards???).
