Back by Popular Demand-The mid October Update

Hey Now Folks

Just in time for a slew of great shows, the Update is happening again. I am going off the grid for a few days. Doing a Vision Quest in Sedona, AZ with my teacher Jorge Arenevar. But that does not mean there isn't great things happening here in the Big D and surrounding areas.

Matisyahu Flobots. The Fillmore What can I said about this Orthodox Jew who is a rapper and reggae frontman with a super tight band that has not been said before. Well, for me, he is a little personal. I have had the opportunity at two Langerado Festivals to hang out with him. One, I got to "learn" with him. The put up a Shabbat tent and allow the hippy Jews to come together and experience their faith. This past March, I got to say Kaddish for my dad at a festival. Unreal. What is unique for me about Matis is the deeper space he gets into when he is doing his music. Some say (Update included), you find your higherness in music. Matis does. GO SEE THIS SHOW

Brando and Friends. Dick O'Dows Brando, the former front man for the Electric Magi, has been deeply influenced by Jerry Garcia, Steve Kimock and Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers. In the current version of the Friends, he is doing a musical tribute to the Jerry Garcia Band. For those of us in the Big D, Jerry was fond of the Motown sound and had put a lot of it into his repertoire. But see Brando is just not satisfied with the Jerry sound. So, you might find some BB King, Carlos Santana, and others icons that created the Jamband sound. And now, Brando is playing his originals. Time to dust the dancing shows off and go boogie.

David Bryne Michigan Theatre Yes the former front man of the Talking Heads makes his appearance here. His post Heads material is off the hook as well

The Next Few Days

Hey Now

I am slowly working my way back into Update mode. I have had three trials since late August, one going three weeks. But, I would be remiss to not try to get the word out, BTW, the Update turns 45 on Friday. So, I am not sure what show I will attend, but I have many ones to partake in.

I will not be on Email from Tonight through Sundown tomorrow. It is Yom Kippur and I will definitely be going into some prayer. I take this time to pray for myself and also my community

Anyhow, here we go . . .

TONIGHT

MSTRKRFT ROYAL OAK MUSIC THEATRE

Sonya Kitchell The Ark

TOMORROW

EOTO w/ Aleph-1 The Blind Pig This is the drum and percussion section of String Cheese Incident. Michael Travis and Jason Hann. This project is a radical departure of what they did with their former band. This is all electronica and ambiance. If you want to dance your ass off, go to this show. These guys were a late night favs during the past two festival seasons. http://www.myspace.com/eotomusic

Ben Folds The Fillmore

Stereolab The Crofoot

Joe Satriani and Mountain Royal Oak Music Theatre

October 10-Miko Day ;>)

Mason Jennings-A Live Nation Feature Show St Andrews My source, Monica Baker at LN, sent me a special email on this one. Apparently, this singer song writer has been doing quite a bit for himself. From being hand selected to play some Dylan tunes in a movie to being back by Jack Johnson, I am seeing this man has been quite busy. Here is a nice article on him. www.jambase.com/Artists/11423/Mason-Jennings/Bio

Macpodz The Blind Pig You all know I love these boyz So does Moe who had them on their last tour. This past year, the Podz have started to blast off on the national scene. Huge festivals and major inroads in the west and the northeast. I am fearing the day will come soon, when we will not be able to see them at the Pig.

Covert Operations The Small Planet East Lansing. I usually do not post a show out of SE Michigan. But shoot, I love Dal and the boyz and really to see the name SMALL PLANET on any website just tickles me. Truth be told, the Update graced the stage of a few incarnations of the Small Planet as one of the percussionist with Assembly Required on sitting in with Bop Harvey, Pickle Brown Betty or the Jah Kings Gone are the dayz . . .

October 11

Brando and Friends Dino's Ferndale Brando is still playing all things Jerry Garcia. He recently has been working in some of his originals from the Electric Magi days. Also some new originals. BTW, the Update has been known to sit in with this band, particularly when they are playing at Dinos.

Bruce Springsteen Free Show 10/6-EMU Stadium

Hot off the Press folks (announced at 6:02 am today)

The Boss will play a free acoustic show at Oestrike Stadium at Eastern Michigan University this Monday. Gates are at 3 pm and the show is expected to occur at 4:30 pm This is being billed as a rally for Barack Obama, our next president (my words)

I had the opportunity to see the Rock the Vote show when it came here in 2004. They hit 11 states in 11 days. Gov Grandholm and Sen Carl Levin were in my row. Yes, the Update does have his privileges LOL. If you recall this event, there were shows going on simultaneously in our state. Some got Neil Young. We got Springsteen and REM

Anyhow, Bruce Springsteen at a political rally is not going to be your boppy dancefest. But, for those of us that want to feel the true grit of this country, an acoustic Bruce Springsteen is a must. I would expect him to play a lot of the Nebraska album along with something he may have penned just for this run. He actually worked some of the material he wrote on the Rock the Vote run into his show repetoire.

So, come out and support Barack Obama and get some great music at the same time.
