Good news, would really wish Carl would come out west this fall/winter. Tom said on the Alabama Take Podcast that Carl had a new solo album coming out Sept. 21st. Has anyone heard anything more on this? I sure hope its true.

I'm planning on going to my usual stops in Louisville, Nashville, and Indianapolis. This is wonderful news!

Along with Jim twice in November (Nashville and Louisville) and the 3 Carl shows, I'll have 5 Jim and Carl shows lined up between Oct. 4th and Nov. 21st - Killer!!!

Would have loved another Zanzabar show but it's good he's moving up to a bigger venue in Louisville. Will definitely be at the Headliners show!!
Great news today!

Looks like Omaha for me! Carl's Chicago show is the day after Jim's Chicago show at The Vic, to which I'm bringing the whole family. I don't think I could get them to do back-to-back solo shows, so I'll risk missing a surprise Jim appearance and go to Omaha the week before. Easy getting a ticket, too. I saw Chicago's presale sold out.

In for Chicago! Now, if only I can get my hands on JJ tickets the night prior without dropping $300, that'd be just great.

Also adding in my excitement for those going to Levon's. The MMJ show there still stands as one of the best nights of my life, even almost ten years later. That place is just magical. Go early and soak it all in!!

One of the biggest regrets in my music going career is that I didn't make it to that show.  Up there with never seeing Prince.

I knew Carl was elsewhere the night of Jim's show, but the reciprocal being true makes me feel better, in terms of FOMO. Omaha is just about as close as Chicago, a lot less stressful, and likely to be a lighter crowd. Anyone else heading to Carl in Omaha?

They're swapping cities on back to back nights.  On the 9th Jim's in Chicago and Carl's in Cleveland and then on the 10th, Jim's in Cleveland and Carl's in Chicago?! 


I'm debating on traveling up to Ann Arbor to see Carl at the Ark!  I love that venue!  My wife and I are talking about doing a Michigan brewery tour in our camper this fall  and this would be great to include a Carl show as a part of it!!!   :beer:

Last year at the Ark, while Carl was going nuts at the end of Snowflake, my buddy couldn't contain himself in this quiet atmosphere and yelled "fuck yeah Carl!!" Carl started cracking up (while still shredding, mind you) and encouraged everyone to turn it up. When my buddy talked to him again at the Cincinnati show,  Carl told him that the Ark was his favorite show of the tour. So glad that he's coming back!

They did do Carried Away, and I think 7 of 8 new tunes were played but it's hard to know for sure bc I obviously didn't know any of those previously haha

So does steelism open or just support him as a backing band? I want to go to the Boston show but it's a wednesday night and really don't want to/can't stay out until 1-2 AM. Flyer says show starts at 9:30, if thats when Steelism goes on then it's definitely a no go for me unfortunately.

Steelism does open, they played a 40-ish minute set from 8-8:40 and then Carl went on at 9 and played til 10:50. same set lengths would put you out til a tad after midnight that night.

Carl crushed it.

Atlanta was also very poorly attended, I was disappointed to see so few folks there. 600ish capacity but had 100 people there tops.

He certainly did.  Rocking jams were great, especially the last few minutes of Wished Out. Good mix of the mellow stuff, but the highlights to me were the loud solos like during 4th of July.  Some banter with the crowd, which was a little funny.  He commented about how quiet the venue was compared to the street outside.  Everyone was polite and quiet, and the place was unfortunately quite empty.  But it was a fun night and great show.  Added bonus was Carl sticking around to sign merch and chat it up afterwards.  He was super nice.

Carl and Steelism put on a great show in Pittsburgh last night. The highlight for me was 4th of July - Pink Moon - 4th of July. The new album stuff was very good, which I have not heard up until that point since I thought I bought the vinyl during presale, but must not have, oops.  Steelism were tight and were great backing Carl. This show was also sparsely attended like the reports from the other shows, maybe 50-60 people there, but they played like it was to a full house. There was a little girl with "Carl Side 4 Ever" on her shirt, which I totally agree with.

After periodically checking in on this wonderful Jacket resource over the past couple years I finally created a user name. Going to see Carl tonight in Ann Arbor. This is typically a well attended albeit smaller venue so I'm hoping they fill it all the way up. Bummer to hear that these first few shows have been lightly attended. Love his new album and can't wait for him to shred it tonight. Looking forward to chiming in more and more.

Love his new album and can't wait for him to shred it tonight. Looking forward to chiming in more and more.



turnout sucked compared to his show there in 16, but goddamn was that ever a great show.

Any idea why his attendance has been so down this tour?? The new album is great and its a full band tour unlike most of his 2016 tour so I would've thought his attendance would've increased some this tour.

Not sure for other shows, but for me, while I would love to catch Carl's show in LA coming up,but it's on a Tuesday night, and that pretty much would kill the rest of the week for me.  Living in Long Beach gets you close to LA, but LA traffic keeps you out of LA.  If it were on a weekend, I'd be on the rail for Carl.

Editing to add - I have a morning appointment with a lawyer on the 24th of this month to finalize our trust, which gives me an excuse to sleep in that morning, so tickets for Carl's show the night before have now been purchased!

2 of my upcoming 3 Carl shows are on Thursday night (other one is a Saturday). I hope the one this Thursday at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville will come close to selling out. Lots of the local music fans are notorious for making it to shows the last minute and don't get tickets until they get there. The other Thursday night show is a month from now in Indianapolis. Since it's Carl's hometown, there should be a pretty good crowd. The other one on Saturday is this Saturday down in Nashville where Carl has lived for a long, long time. I'm sure it will be a killer one.

I wish there was some explanation as to why the attendance is lower this time around. There were only 50 people at the show in Ann Arbor last night! Criminally under attended for the rock show we got yesterday. Steelism and Carl both sound great. All the songs from the new record sound excellent! I'm going to see him again in Cleveland next month and then Jim the following night which will be fun but as always hope the support for Carl picks up a bit!

I was a little concerned with attendance since his last two solo shows were at Zanzabar. Headliners is twice the size. Hope he gets a great turn out tonight.  I can't wait. I've been really liking the new album and was very impressed with Steelism at the last show here.

Incredible show in Louisville last night.

I think Steelism is excellent both on their own and as Carl's backing band. Carl is just amazing. I love his songs. I can't get enough of his guitar playing. Just great time last night and he seemed pleased with the crowd in Louisville.

Looks like Carl is on the bill for Marcus King's hometown festival tonight and tomorrow in North Carolina.

Carl and Steelism put on a great show in Pittsburgh last night. The highlight for me was 4th of July - Pink Moon - 4th of July. The new album stuff was very good, which I have not heard up until that point since I thought I bought the vinyl during presale, but must not have, oops.  Steelism were tight and were great backing Carl. This show was also sparsely attended like the reports from the other shows, maybe 50-60 people there, but they played like it was to a full house. There was a little girl with "Carl Side 4 Ever" on her shirt, which I totally agree with.

I was at the pittsburgh show too - maybe 50 people total in a venue with a capacity of 587. It was a Sunday night (with a Steelers/Ravens home game) but I was still hoping for a few more in the crowd, and it sounds like attendance in general hasn't been great. But what a show! Carl and Steelism made it feel more like a private show than an poorly-attended one, and new songs sound even better in a live setting. And yes - the 4th > Pink Moon > 4th was an incredible ending to a great night of music!

We talked with Carl for a bit afterward, and he couldn't have been more approachable and personable - he really seems to be enjoying himself on this tour. We're heading to Cleveland to see him at the Grog Shop, and I'd expect a better turnout there with it being a Friday and a pretty well-known local venue. Either way I know we'll get an epic show!
