seeing Willie Nile tonight at Joe's Pub.  Always a great show.

[Penny Lane]

Nice! Enjoy Willie! I know you always do.

Tomorrow night seeing Robert Earl Keen for the first time at Irving Plaza.

seeing Willie Nile tonight at Joe's Pub.  Always a great show.

Y'know, my only exposure to Willie Nile was from the mix CD you sent me, Jeff.  Funny that I've yet to read anywhere of his striking vocal similarity to a certain folkie from Minnesota.  I fully enjoy Nile's music as I explore further, but at times it almost seems like parody of Mr. Zimmerman.  I'm sure that's unfair but inescapable for me.  Have a good time.

Cabin Fever Festival this Saturday

line-up
6:00pm: JD Hutchison (in lobby)
7:00pm: Sportfishing USA
8:00pm: Lydia Loveless
9:00pm: The Sundresses
10:00pm: Nick Tolford & Company
11:00pm: Buffalo Killers

Only really know the Buffalo Killers, but I like them quite a bit.  It's an all-Ohio line-up, which is kinda cool.  Wish they could've got the Black Keys tho to round it out!

Check out Lydia Loveless, she's getting a lot of good buzz.

john- watch this video of willie playing with Springsteen from this past Saturday's show in NJ.  I'm a big Dylan fan and no one writes better lyrics.  Few have more passion, energy or love of music than Willie Nile.  Plus, he's gotta be just about the nicest guy in the music world.

I think I see what you mean.  Still exploring...  Was he one of the guys you've had for your backyard concert series?

Yes, we had him 2 years ago.  He was on fire last night at joe's pub.  Very much the life-affirming show.  James Maddock (beautiful now from last album "wake up and dream") was in the audience and Willie brought him up for a cool ramones medley to end the main set).    Willie live is always special.

I rarely have enough to post here, but in the absence of MMJ, some upcoming live music and comedy for yours truly...

Tonight     Suncook Valley Chorale, Concord NH (my Mom's group; she'll love that I 
                include it here)
1/28         Juston McKinney, Hillsboro NH (comedy)
2/04         Frampton Comes Alive!, Worcester MA
2/18         Jim Gaffigan, Boston MA (comedy)
3/16         New Multitudes, Boston MA (Yim, Will, etc.)
5/05         M. Ward, Portland ME
5/31-6/2   Mountain Jam, Hunter NY (greater than 50% chance)
6/29         Roger Waters The Wall, Hartford CT 

I know this is small potatoes for most of you, but Mrs. Dr. Yac is asking that I cool it after this, knowing some likely MMJ-related thing, yet unforseen, will come up later in the year.  She's probably/hopefully correct.

Soundgarden- 25th and 26th Jan.
I'm trying not to think about how depressed I'm gonna feel when it's all over.

[Hawkeye]

Y'all were right about Lydia Loveless!  Liked her a lot.  Each band got around an hour set at this festival, and after the first song by Ms. Loveless, we went home real quick and got my 7 year old niece, who is just learning the guitar, knowing that she would love her.  We got an autographed CD and a photo-op after the show...my niece loved it!



Other bands were all good too.  Unfortunately the crowd really thinned out for the Buffalo Killers...it was late, small town, older crowd.

Aw, super cute pic!   :)
