| GROOVY NEW SHOWS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO OUR SCHEDULE! JIM KWESKIN, ERIC ANDERSEN, CHERYL WHEELER, CURT SMITH, MORE! SCROLL DOWN FOR THE DETAILS, OR CALL US AT 310-828-4497 |

Former Texas gubernatorial candidate, political commentator and self-proclaimed "author, columnist, musician and beautician" Kinky Friedman comes to the West Coast for the first time in nearly 20 years. Two members of Kinky's seminal band the Texas Jewboys, Little Jewford and Washington Ratso, will join him on the tour. Friedman rose to stardom in the '70s, with the aforementioned Texas Jewboys as his sidekicks. With his outrageous lyrics and crazed stage persona, he may have offended some, but also drew people like Robin Williams, Bob Dylan and John Belushi into his spiritual fan club. He toured with Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and appeared on the inaugural season of Saturday Night Live. His infamous appearance on Austin City Limits (the only performance ever filmed by ACL and never broadcast because of content) has finally been released on DVD, to the delight of fans everywhere. Not suprisingly, our early show is already sold out, but lucky late-show concertgoers will be treated to an opening set by local musician, journalist, filmmaker, and activist Michael Simmons, former leader of the band Slewfoot. No prisoners will be taken. Only the strong shall survive.
Four of the most familiar names on the Southern California bluegrass scene unite in a high lonesome supergroup. Pedersen is known for his work with former Byrd Chris Hillman, as well as The Desert Rose Band and The Laurel Canyon Ramblers. The Saubers, father and son, are both highly respected multi-instrumentalists who've played in a variety of groupings and settings, and Bryson has added bass and vocals to more bluegrass bands than we could possibly list here. Also on this great double-bill is young Shaun Cromwell, about whom Peter Mulvey says: "He has the unmistakable sound of someone who has put in the time and the heart, someone who has truly got inside the music." This is going to be a good time.
