I'm in, can't wait!

I'd recommend checking out the Jakob Bro Trio on June 25th if you get the chance. Joey Baron is an amazing drummer! He has collaborated a lot with John Zorn. Check out the live album Bay of Rainbows on Spotify to give them a go - I think many of youz would like it.

I'd be there if I could. If only it was the night before, would have been perfect!

New album 'Stella Bella Strada' is a lot of fun. It's up now on Spotify. I just checked his tourdates page and noticed a slew of new dates added. Of interest to Velvet, if no one else, there will be an album release show at Lula Lounge in Toronto the day after the Phish show in Toronto. https://www.kevinbreit.com/engagements No Montreal shows. 😞

I'll be there rain or shine, cancellation or no cancellation. The show must go on!!

Saw Doug Paisley last night at Quai Des Brumes in Montreal. Wonderful mellow show by an outstanding musician. It was him and his long time collaborator Chuck Erlichman, vocals and two acoustic guitars. Jenny Whiteley and Joey Wright opened -- not sure if that's the case in Ottawa or not. Either way, highly recommended. https://www.dougpaisley.com/ https://www1.ticketmaster.ca/doug-paisley-ottawa-ontario-03-30-2019/event/3100554FB6B53107?dma_id=522&artistid=1496495&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=2

Another lineup to make you feel old!

True, better lineup than Blues Fest, but I will have no problem giving this one a pass.

Ocelot vs Bear Cat!

The guys is a prolific songwriter, not all of it is gold, but I like how his music has progressed in recent years. I thought Prisoner was a great album. Both Prisoner and the b-sides album have a handful of beautifully crafted songs that I love. I'm not crazy about the new song with John Mayer on it, but the Mayer solo is nice. Curious to see what comes of the Bobby stuff!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Netflix doc. Some good news: the Bahamian caterer lady who is featured in the doc has crowd funded over $240K. https://globalnews.ca/news/4883632/fyre-fest-maryann-rolle-gofundme/
