Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back.
It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the snow out […]

A couple of my faves are hitting the road with no Cleveland shows in sight….yet.
Fountains of Wayne are in the studio right now working on their next disc, and will break in early 2009 for some full band acoustic dates featuring tunes from the upcoming album, and old favorites. Let me get my request […]

I meant to blog about a few things at the end of yesterday, but last night ended up being a late night. I had a social engagement after work, and as I was making my exit, I looked at my phone, and I had two missed calls/voicemails to return, in addition to one followup […]

I wrote this up for Chris Akin after my Dayton trip to attend the Mix 107.7 Summerfest, but never got around to posting it here.
Thanks to Dayton photographer Chris A. who went to the show with me, I also have some photos to share from the experience.

As it often happens, this one came up on my Ipod this morning as I was getting ready for work.
For those that are unfamiliar, Canada’s Blue Rodeo are led by the core of singer/songwriters Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor.
Generally, I’m more of a Cuddy guy, but I definitely have a healthy […]

You’re all winners, you really are…
Congrats to Ann, Kim, Michael, Anne, and Daniel - they are the lucky recipients of the Jackson Browne/David Lindley DVD freebie that I offered up last week. I put the DVDs in the mail today, after getting back from Virgin Festival, so you all should be enjoying the DVD […]
