Hello everyone. It's the last Thursday of the month, so that means there's a CashHank tonight at Buttermilk in Park Slope. Bring all three chords and your instruments over there for a great time.
Tomorrow night is Kate Giampetruzzi's Leap Year Show, with an all- star cast of musicians plus great food. She'll be playing her gorgeous originals and some old classics, joined by Tone Johansen, Grits and Harmony and Trip Henderson and Emily Eagen, along with Brad Einhorn, Rick Shields, Charlie Shaw, David Gandin, and guest guitarist Danny Weiss. This will be a truly great show.
Jonah Bruno is hosting a show at Jalopy on Saturday night featuring none other than King Wilkie along with a ton of special guests. And of course there are the usual jams.
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.
