Hey Alady, check this out!  Blue Giant opening and backing band!

Did you know they had a full length now?   Just found that out.  Looks like it has a bunch of the same songs from the ep though.  I'm not a big fan of bands doing that but whatever.

article.....



Bobby Bare Jr.'s Carpool America Tour was a top story. Here it is again: Bobby Bare Jr. announces the "Carpool America" tour with Blue Giant. The 22-city tour will kick start in Memphis, TN on August 24th and end in Minneapolis on October 9th.


Blue Giant will open the shows and serve as his back up band along with Bare's drummer Matt Martin.

Bare will release A Storm-A Tree-My Mother's Head on August 31, 2010. It will be Bare's sixth album and his first in nearly four years. A Storm-A Tree-My Mother's Head was co-produced by Bare and David Vandervelde (Jay Bennett). Bare also produced Twistable, Turnable Man: A Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein a tribute album in memory of his close friend and mentor, Shel Silverstein.

[ALady]

I could have sworn we discussed the fact that Blue Giant was opening those shows?

Maybe not.   ;D

[BH]

Well, it wouldn't have been the first time my brain has failed me.

[ALady]

Nor mine.   ;D

You da man BH.  Anyone able to get the acoustic demo download to work...?  I signed up and received 2 emails...one to confirm the address and another to confirm that I had confirmed and was signed up...but no download link?  If anyone gets this to work, I may ask a favor of you!   ;)
