Al.Ducts Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 After linking to the myspace page I found this: http://blogs.suntimes.com/derogatis/2009/08/some_more_dates_ive_been_meani.html 3. Also at Martyr's: Jay Bennett Tribute: To honor the recently deceased singer, songwriter, producer and one-time Wilco multi-instrumentalist, the local artists Fair Herald, City at Large and Evan Holmes & Exit Ghost will perform in tribute to Bennett at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the club at 3855 N. Lincoln. Tickets are $8. "Jay Bennett, especially his work with Wilco, has always been a pretty big inspiration to us," said Fair Herald vocalist Mike Bellis. "Everything from his raunchier-than-hell guitars on 'Being There' to the more complex melodies and keyboard arrangements on 'Summerteeth' and 'Yankee [Hotel Foxtrot]' has been a touchstone for us when we're piecing together new songs." The musicians will cover Wilco and Bennett's solo material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JHamm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 From the little bit I know, there's going to be a memorial show in Champaign that won't be open to the public. Just a gathering of Jay's friends and family and some of them will be performing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
