Hello. We have a quick weekend update to add some more shows and to let you know about a change for Monday.
Tonight at Banjo Jim's Eli Smith is putting on a big show featuring American String Conspiracy, Alex Battle's Whisky Rebellion, Vincent Cross and Good Company, Rolf Hamsen. And out in Hoboken the Second Fiddles are playing with David Bennet Cohen joining them on piano.
Also tonight, Abigail Washburn is bringing her Sparrow Quartet to BB King's. It's her with Bela Fleck, Casey Driessen and Ben Sollee on cello, and their show at Joe's Pub last night was absolutely incredible. (http://photos.kenficara.com/sparrow) It's an early show (7:30) so you can still make the local gigs after you, but it'll cost ya!
Also please note: The Jonah and Jordan show, follwed by Terri Ann Mclean and Hi Rise, are at the Parkside *NEXT* Monday, the 21st. This Monday, the 14th, Copper Kettle plays at 7:30 followed by The Shade.
Please send your emails (or MySpace bulletins) by Wednesday for inclusion to pickin@ponkiesburg.com, and if you have any trouble write me directly at pickin-owner at ponkiesburg.com.
