Teaser CDs from Jack and Climactic Shows Coming Soon!
This coming Friday, August 26, we will be playing at the Starlite
Lounge in Blawnox. This is a great bar with a good menu and a
smoke-free listening room!

We'll have a small stack of "teaser" CDs, which we'll be giving out
for free! I think we made 20 or so. I know this isn't enough for our
anticipated crowd of 2000, but it's a start... :)

Finally, Dave is trying to expand his repertoire of cover tunes.
Please make suggestions about what songs he should learn by sending
the name of the song to dlr@cs.cmu.edu.

Here's the show info:

- August 26 (Friday) at The Starlite Lounge, 362 Freeport Road in
Blawnox. This is part of the Three Penny Opry Series, organized
by Robert Wagner. No cover, although they're usually pretty
aggressive about passing the tip jar. Non-smoking show starts at
9:30pm.

Also, check out these upcoming cool non-jack shows:

- Johnny A is coming back to Moondogs on Saturday, August 27, at
7:30pm. Excellent instrumental electric guitar music. Like a
non-80's version of Joe Satriani who listened to Jazz instead of
pop-rock. Actually, not like Joe Satriani at all.

- Jack Erdie is having a release party for his new CD, Pumpkin, at
the Rex Theatre, Friday, September 9, at 9pm. This should be a
great show, debuting his new band! Band members include Doug
Wilkin playing amazing guitar, and our own Stacy Mates on vocal
harmony and possibly percussion.

- Robert Earl Keen will be playing the Mystic Bay Nite Club at the
Beaver Valley Mall on September 13th, 9pm. I've never seen him on
tour, but his CDs are great. Engaging lyrics with just a little
bit of Texas Twang!
