It's spring, which in the land of band means festivals. Outdoor ones, where people dance and sometimes drink beer. I am thrilled to go back to the WMNF Tropical Heatwave Festival in Tampa, FL on May 11, 2013. Also on the bill (among a cast of many): Paul Thorn, Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison and the Ryan Montbleau Band. I'm happy to say that I'll be using 1/2 of the the RMB as my band for the show, doesn't get better than that. If you want to see what fun I've had in the past at Heatwave (read rain+rock=fun) click here.
If you don't live in the Tampa area, or just have one of those pesky day jobs that won't let you pick up and leave to go to Florida for the weekend, there are plenty of other shows to tickle your fancy.
Here are just a few:
5/3/13 - Me solo opening for Melissa Ferrick, Natick Center for the Arts, Natick, MA. Come on!
5/18/13 - Me and my boys AND the Spampinato Brothers of NRBQ fame, the Lizard Lounge, Cambridge, MA. No way!
6/5/13 - Me, myself and I with the incomparable Dave Alvin and his Guilty Ones at NYC's City Winery. Seriously?!
6/6/13 - Same bill as the day before, but in my 'hood. Johnny D's Uptown, Somerville, MA. Jeepers!
AND, if those weren't enough.......
Two nights with Los Straitjackets!!!! Me and my band and those magnificent masked men on 6/8/13 at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA and 6/9/13 at Bridge Street Live in Collinsville, CT.
Holy cow.
