Strand of Oaks

Strand of Oaks will play The Earl on 9/11 this year, the night after Little Tybee and Adron and the night before Islands and Teen play the same stage.

After a most disappointing summer, this will be an epic run.

Tomo Nakayama and Grand Hallway at Bumbershoot, 2011 

Hard to believe at this moment in time, but this weekend I'll get to ride the Monorail myself and get to hear Tomo Nakayama perform.

Christopher Owens at The Earl, June 19, 2013

Christopher Owens, America's greatest living songwriter, has a new album, A New Testament, coming out next month.  Here's a single from the album, the Buck Owens-influenced, Bakersfield-sounding Nothing More Than Everything To Me.

Dude York

Another band to look forward to at Bumbershoot - I caught Dude York there a couple of years ago playing in an off-venue, little tent, but on Saturday they'll be on the Pavillion Stage, so that will be cool.

Happy Holi, y'all!
