Going to take a very short Thanksgiving break from writing, so I left you these tasty bites to savor until I return.
DON'T FORGET: SATURDAY NIGHT IT'S GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS!!!
Anyway, these are shows that haven't been put up on the official schedule yet, though they may be by the time you read this.
April 14
Pierre Bensusan
Pierre has built quite an international reputation as a fingerstyle virtuoso, starting in the streets of Paris and later sharing stages with the likes of George Winston, David Bromberg, Leo Kottke and Taj Mahal. For you guitar player out there, you may be interested to know that he tunes DADGAD--so don't even try to figure out his chords looking at his hands. Pierre, these days, regularly tours the states and teaches guitar. He's been at the Narrows several times, and always draws a good crowd. Meet him at http://www.pierrebensusan.com/, where you have the option of reading about him in English or Francais.

Little Charlie and the Nightcats
Blues and a whole lot more. "Rollicking, super-cool, jazzy and hip...satirical, sharp lyrics and killer guitar and harp solos..." reports "Blues Revue." These Left-Coasters have been getting it done for decades, but this is their first visit to the Narrrows. Meet them at http://www.littlecharlie.com/.

May 13
The Mammals
We hosted the Mammals a couple years back before they became one of the hottest acts on the roots scene--in fact this young group just wrapped up a tour with Arlo Guthrie (not surprising since one of the members is Pete Seeger's grandson)."The Mammals play old-time string band music the way Jack Kerouac wrote novels--with an abandon born of a deep understanding of structure and form. Their sound is wild, mirthful, and masterful," says the Boston Globe. Here's their website: http://www.themammals.net/.

Grace Potter was really good, not what I expected (no b-3 organ), but she was really good anyway, very strong vocally and excellent showmanship. I'm listening to this Alvin Youngblood Hart guy on Rhapsody right now, I think we might go check him out. Some of his stuff reminds me of North Mississippi Allstars - not surprising since Jim Dickinson produced at least one of his albums. Maybe if you work that into next week's promotion, some of those Grace potter fans will turn up thursday. Have you heard his song, Cowboy Boots?
