My Morning Jacket just announced summer tour dates. I'm so pumped

2/19 DBT/Ryley Walker - Seattle, WA

I saw Lilly Hiatt with the Harmaleights at the Pour House in Raleigh, NC this past weekend. It was my first show since January 2020 when Lydia Loveless, Reese McHenry and others played as part of a benefit for the Australian wildfires at Cat's Cradle Back Room in Carrboro. I moved away from Raleigh and back to the coast in the summer of 2020 and haven't been back since so it was also good to see friends I hadn't seen since moving away. Next on the agenda is DBT's with Lydia at Cat's Cradle in May.

Neal Francis tonight, Tool on Saturday.

I just saw them in October & they were phenomenal. After much deliberation, I'm probably going to take a pass on going again this summer. Mostly for financial reasons but health, too. The venue they're playing is kind of a pain in the ass getting to during rush hour & they don't have too good an ADA seating area. & they have strict curfew rules. I may change my mind closer to the show depending on how things shake out.

Saw Robert Earl Keen play his last Road To Christmas show ever last night at Germantown Performing Arts Center in suburban Memphis. It had been rescheduled due to covid shit.
It was a blast.

Neal Francis. a bit of a retread of 70s soul/r&b/funk but if you like The Meters, Leon Russell or Allen Toussaint you'll dig it.

Excellent double bill at World Cafe Live in Philly last night... John Moreland with Will Johnson opening

I thought about coming and almost contacted you! My brother-in-law (whom I think you’ve met) moved and now lives spitting distance from GPAC.

I saw REK often in college and was kind of sad to read that he was hanging up his hat/mic/spurs!

I'm seeing GBV in 2 weeks. In the meantime I've got Sparks tonight & Nick Cave on Thursday. It's gonna hurt but I'm gonna go until I can't.

enjoy!

Sparks were great last night. Nice to see them get their due in the states after 50 years!

Dirty Knobs last night. Best show I've seen in a long time. Really good.

Nick Cave was amazing last night. He was in a great mood & it was a nice, long show. Very cool lighting. Hope the Bad Seeds tour the US next year!

Just scored Mike Campbell tickets. Crocodile Cafe in May. Excited for this one. He's been a fave since high school.

Nice! How's Liz Phair's latest album? I've heard some good but mixed things about it but haven't gotten around to listening to it.
