Went to see David Byrne at City arts and lectures here in town. Yes… David Byrne!
I haven’t been to many Arts & Lectures events, but I will say this: in this case, the emphasis was decidedly on lecture. Less so on art. It was kind of like a term paper.
The Folk Rock Rampage continues as our Acoustic Quartet heads overseas. In select cities we’ll be playing with a string quartet (Utrecht, Liverpool). The Folk Rock Rampage Acoustic Quartet is: Stephie Finch: vocals/ piano, Mike Anderson: upright bass, Sean Nelson: drums. And CP.
The Foggcutter Film Series continues:
The Buddy Holly Story – October 14 at the 4-Star. ADDED BONUS: We’ll be playing some Buddy Holly classics live and in the flesh before the film.
w/ a Crickets inspired band for the occasion. (Upright bass, brushes, piano and guitars. . .)
I got into music so I wouldn’t have to set an alarm clock. Nobody told me about all this other nonsense. Nobody warned me. My parents didn’t warn me. My teachers didn’t warn me. Not even a heads up from the priest
Music supervisor of the year. And the award goes to Mandy Mamlet #Tony #MandyMamlet

.@ChuckProphet's “Wake The Dead” pairs the lively pulse of Cumbia with surreal lyrics about getting through uncertain times.
Hear it this week on our broadcast.
Love this sound and this band.
Van Morrison has this rap about being difficult. He’s been accused. His response: “My experience is that people who call other people difficult are the difficult ones.“ #Amen
There have always been those perfect generic bands. I don’t know what we called it back in the day. But it seems like AI‘s been around forever.

To thine own self be true. Shakespeare said that. "Be True to Your School" - Brian Wilson said that. Words to live by. Thanks for dreaming big, Brian.
