Whoa? It’s December already? Time for an update before we’re already
ringing in a new year and I become a daaah…well, we’ll get to that later in the month.
My one and only show for December will be at The Tractor in Ballard on December 17th–and what a show it will be! I’ll be part of the 9th Annual Double-Album Christmas Benefit Show for MUSICARES. The album is ‘Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs’ by Derek and the Dominos, played in its entirety, in order, and featuring a different band or artist for every song.
SAT, December 17th @ 9pm
The Tractor ($10 adv or $12 doors/21+)
5213 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, WAfeat. BLUE SPARK, KIM VIRANT, MIKE McCREADY (Pearl Jam), THE JELLY ROLLERS, JEFF FIELDER, SEAN BATES (HalloQueen), ANDREW McKEAG (P.U.S.A.), JAMES APOLLO & HIS SWEET UNKNOWN, THE GLASS NOTES, NATHAN WADE,PERSEPHONE, SAM RUSSELL, STAR ANNA & THE LAUGHING DOGS, and more! All proceeds benefit MusiCares. These shows usually sell out, so consider advance tickets to make sure you get in!
My friend Sam Russel and I will be sitting in with James Apollo’s band for the night, and vice versa (btw, I’m playing “Tell The Truth”). There are a hell of lot of great guitarists playing that night, so I better get my sh*t together. (I’m imagining a scenario where I blow a Duane Allman-inspired slide solo while Mike McCready, Jeff Fielder, and Andrew McKeag all give me the stink-eye over their cans of PBR.)
Happy Holidays, folks! I’ll check in once last time this year with info on my next theatre production (Shakespeare’s ‘Coriolanus’) and a very important announcement.
