Special note this week: There is no Ponkiesburg Pickin' Party this week. That's right, on Sunday, February 3, there will be no jam at Kili, since it would conflict with the Super Duper Bowl, the traditional gladitorial spectacle in which we select our Presidential nominees. So remember, NO JAM AT KILI ON SUNDAY. (And seriously, do get out to vote on Tuesday, which is primary day in New York.)
But we've no lack for music! This week is the ACTUAL last Thursday, which means there really is a CasHank at Buttermilk tomorrow night. John Pinamonti is at Sunny's on Friday, Blue Harvest is at Jalopy, and Rob Ryan is having a send-off at the Rodeo Bar.
Saturday there's a special show at Jalopy featuring one-half of the Otis Brothers (namely, Raoul), otherwise known as Bob Guida, along with Steve Uhrik, Peter Kohman and Mike Saccolitti.
Monday, Copper Kettle is at the Parkside, followed by Michael Daves' jam, and then Michael is playing again on Tuesday at Rockwood, while Fresh Baked will be at Abilene.
This newsletter attempts to go out every Wednesday, so send us your gig notices, myspace bulletins, facebook posts and carrier pigeons by Wednesday for inclusion.
