Glad I finally remembered to post this...

Ball & Chain is Micheal Ball and his girlfriend (who's name escapes me) on fiddle/guitar/mandolin and vocals, singing wayyyy authentic old-timey music. They have a backing band for this show, bass/drums/pedal steel.

I know Micheal from teaching at the Ottawa Folklore Centre. He's a great guy and a great player, and when I saw him and his girlfriend play at Blue Skies, I found out he's got that perfect old-timey voice. I think this is gonna be a really really good show, if you like that kinda thing.

I don't know the name of the venue, but it's just south of the Folklore Centre (Bank/Sunnyside) on the same side of the street. OFC is 1111 Bank, so I would guess this place would be 1169 Bank Street or so. It used to be a St. Hubert or something, and it's across from the 7-11.

Say, just a thought: Do you suppose if Osama's boys had taken down the WTC on July 11th instead of September 11th that 7-11 stores would have changed their name?

Looks like a cool show Todd!

BTW, how was that Harry Manx show in Ottawa a while back? I'm crankin' Manx right now and loving it. [smile] I really want to check out the new album that he's put out with Kevin Breit.

I'm on the Ottawa Folk Fest mailing list, and just got one of their semi-regular mails, and it lists:

A) Ball and Chain - Fri. Feb. 21, Bayou Blues and Jazz Club


The Bayou web page also lists the gig, with The Wreckers opening.

Aloha,

They are local, but I don't think they play that often; at least they don't advertise shows very widely.

They are doing three sets, starting around 9pm, so I hope there's some other hard drinkers there for me to puke on.
