Some Shows for this week

This one was done yesterday 9/29. I failed to put it up on the Blog. The Umphrey's McGee give away is over


Okay someone needs to tell work to chill, cuz its interferring with ma fun. Actually, I am glad to be working at all.

But hey there are some shows that must be on the radar for this week.

TONIGHT. Mike Gordon for that obscure Rock band Phish plays at the Blind Pig. Special Guest Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey as the opener. They are great in and of themselves.

Moby at St Andrews.

Tomorrow Buju Banton CANCELLED. Wow check out the press on this one . . .

looks like there will be a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Benefit Concert in its place.

Catfish Mafia at Pat O'Briens in Saint Clair Shores. These guys are a decent bluegrass ensemble. Well worth checking out.

Friday UMPHREY'S McGee with our dear friends the Macpodz opener UM surely has taken the jamband and festy scene and made it its own. They made my late night Rothbury (2 late night sets) spectacular. I could not believe where the band is going with its music.

And since I and my friend Dianna from Live Nation love you, the Update has two tickets to give away to the first 2 "callers." Trivia time peeps: What band did the Grateful Dead open up for on my 13th Birthday 10.10.76?

Also Friday Living Colour The Magic Bag

Uncle Kracker The Machine Shop in Flint.

Saturday. JJ Grey and Mofro. wsg Shooting Jennings and Earl Grey. St. Andrews. JJ Grey and Mofro has been a regular on the Jamband scene for years. I gotta tell you, he has changed his lineup a bit lately. A change for the better. JJ is deep in the soul of the music and he is playing a lot of guitar now. I can tell you that this is one to see.



I will try to squeeze out a few more this week. But back to the work zone.

I have a blog that accompanies this email.
