RIP, John Mayall - the Godfather of the British blues scene.

Hahaha. One of my favorite live acts. Just got tickets to see Adam and the band again in Chicago in November.

The Jayhawks, Waco Brothers and more at Fitzgerald's American Music Festival (Night #2).

A little bar opened in my little suburb about six months ago. They host local artists every Friday night. Tonight, I'm going to see Steve Dawson of Dolly Varden. Capacity is probably 30 so it should be fun.

Loved this.

Dang! I wish I would have known!! Show was great - a little short - but still great.

It was a great night. "Shot in the Arm" was a highlight for me (it always is) and I was surprised we didn't get any of the "Being There" classics (maybe tonight?), but - as bbop noted - the band sounded fantastic on several extended noisy, work-outs.

"From the ashes of Uncle Tupelo . . ." Wilco!
