attn: east coast!
I have three dates coming up this weekend. At the risk of overshadowing the tour page, they are:
Friday June 26 - Club Passim, Cambridge MA, 8PM
Saturday June 27 - Iron Horse, Northampton MA, 7:30P
Monday June 29 - Mercury Lounge, NYC, 7P
The Northampton show changed at some point from a headlining set to a fundraiser for Steve Ferguson, the original NRBQ guitarist, with me doing an opening set. Bad news for the four area people who wanted to come see me play for a cheap cover, but good news for the thousands of comfortably-off New Englanders who appreciate the amazing legacy of that band and would like to help an ailing guitar god meet his medical bills.
On all these dates I'll be toting 160 extra pounds of baggage known as Robbie Gjersoe. Robbie and I have what I immodestly think is one of the best duo shows in country music. We sing and flatpick so naturally with each other after all these years, it's almost like we're married. I would marry him, too, if he had just a little more pizzazz in the sack!
Please come out and see us play...buy me a beer...say something inadvertently insulting.

Yeah... I'm one of those four people, and It's too bad you're only opening, but I hope you get a chance to play along with those guys. It should be an awesome show. Thanks for making the trip.
Did you see the news today? Yeah, Farrah's gone, that's big... but the other one? King of Pop? He's gone... will you now release the "you-know-what" album?

I'll be at Club Passim tonight! I'll buy a beer but they only have two kinds on the menu.
Agreed! (With Jamey) I've been wanting to hear that album for forever. Even moreso after checking this out:

Very much looking forward to Monday night at the Mercury Lounge. The burning issue for me is what Michael Jackson song you'll decide to play. My vote? Dancing Machine. I'll sing Tito's part....
she's movin, she 's grooovin dancin to the muuuusic.
My second choice? "Ben".
God bless, bro.
Robbie,
I say green light, full speed ahead on the Jackson tribute album.
I think Gjersoe is over 160
