shows

Just back from seeing Kris Delmhorst and Erin McKeown at the Independent. I may have more to say about that later, but for now, I'll just note that all night, between songs, my mind kept straying to this lovely acoustic guitar fragment that I couldn't quite place. It was about an hour into the show before I began to suspect that it was the intro to "Can't Take Our Love Away". Well done, Josh!

Some things that are coming up: Sunday afternoon we have a set by Bev Barnett and Greg Newlon and one by Russell Barber. Sadly, Chelsey Fasano had to cancel. I may play a short set to fill time, if the need arises.

Next Saturday, Sam Shaber is playing a Sunnyvale House Concert. I've been to a couple of these, they're very comfortable and the host has good taste in booking, and cake. Paul doesn't have a PA of his own, so I'll be bringing mine for this one.

And next Sunday at Barefoot we have Valarie Mulberry and David Gunn, the Invisible Cities, and Sheltering Sky. With singer-songwriters, indie pop, and Celtic folk, this is a pretty eclectic mix; I'm looking forward to it a lot.

Speaking of singer-songwriters, have you heard David Mead? He played here last night but his set was ridiculously early and I could make it across town in time.

Yeah, first heard of him thanks to our friend marm0t (who liked his less singer-songwritery album with Adam Schlesinger). I actually saw him, opening for Hem. I liked his set, but the album (the David Henry one) hasn't pulled me in.

Clearly I should go to Tangier when I'm in LA. Hey, Richard Swift is doing a residency there. You should see him. Hey, this week's show is with Tim Easton. You should doubleplusgo to that. (Or wait, do you have some inexplicable lack of affection for Tim Easton?) Anyway, Richard Swift. OMG, next week with Gemma Hayes. Maybe I can quit my job early.
