Leftover Salmon Reunites!
Monday, March 19th, 2007It is a miracle people! The great original in slam grass Leftover Salmon is back for some festivals this year. Playing at both High Sierra Music Festival and All Good 2007, these guys are looking to jam for us all. Here are the dates:
High Sierra Music Festival
July 7 – 8, 2007
Quincy, CAAll Good Music Festival
July 15, 2007
Masontown, WV
A little sentimental touch… I haven’t seen Leftover since I went to my very first music concert back in 1996, Charlotte, NC for Widespread Panic. Leftover opened and played during the set break for the Spread. Quite a gap I have had; not seeing them in over 10 years! Anyway, perhaps this will motivate me to hit the Sierras for once. Why not travel all the way across the county to see them once, only to travel back across the country to see them again?
Please remember Larry Keel is coming to Starr Hill this Thursday and you can see some more kickin’ slam grass.
Joe’s Music Picks for March 2007
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007Charlottesville is finally livening up for some jams. Satellite Ballroom has a little love coming, and Starr Hill awakens from a weaker winter season.-
3/10 – Guano Boys @ Satellite
3/20 – Tea Leaf Green (Opening:William Walter & Co.)
3/22 – Larry Keel & The Natural Bridge
3/28 – Galactic (rescheduled from 2/11)
3/31 – Hackensaw Boys
Starr Hill has lined up four excellent bands in the final two weeks of March. Hopefully the venue can deliver some solid bands for the Spring but so far we have only a twinkle of the energy delivered in 2006. Looking forward, April is already highlighted by Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra hailing from Brooklyn and Toubab Krewe from Asheville, NC.
On the Corner we always have the Wednesday Night Music Showcase at Orbits, which showcases bands from Charlottesville. You never know what guests might play, previously members of Parliament sat in during some Man Mountain Jr. Meanwhile, In April Satellite Ballroom will feature Acid Mothers Temple; a psychedelic rock band from Japan.
Live painting from 01/05/07: Frankfest @ The Canal Club, Richmond, VA
Saturday, January 6th, 2007oh yeah, Joe? you had a few predictions and resolutions, did you? well i had a few myself, and they are these:
to continue to try and to manage more and more responsibilities at work and at home. this includes the art thing. balance is key and something i’m trying to achieve without it overwhelming/frustrating me. what can i say? i can be lazy.
to be a better counselor at the group home that i work for.
to not worry so much and to enjoy things more.
and finally, to create more live paintings this year than i ever have prior. so, with that in mind, Friday night was a nice little kick off to the year at Frankfest. check out my blog for specifics if you’re interested…here’s the painting in the meantime, lovelies.
