Have tickets for 3 concerts that are all here in Madison, which is very rare. Usually Kay & I are off to Milwaukee or Chicago if there's something to lure us, but getting too old to go to everything I'd go to if I were 50, but I'm 20 years older than that

.

In July it's Yes, in August Steely Dan, and in September Crim. My local musician friends are even trying to reschedule/cancel booked gigs so they can spectate

.

We were (happily) shocked at the Crimson date. It is really great to catch them and Yes in town instead of Milwaukee or Chicago.

We are going to see Ian Anderson in Milwaukee, as well.

Rabbit Rabbit are playing a free concert in Cambridge on Aug 2nd

Just landed tickets to see Stevie Wonder Nov 16 At Wells Fargo in Philly. Hate big building shows but now way I can pass this up. Last time I saw him was 86. Also, he is known to secretly practice in the town I live in so we are going to keep an eye out near the facility and hope to catch him.

I will be curious what you think of Howlin Rain. They are a band I discovered through Classic Rock magazine. Picked up their live album from last year and absolutely love it. “The Russian Wilds” is also a great studio album. They have never played my area that I am aware of.

I've seen Howlin Rain 3 times. They are fantastic live. I've been a fan since their first album.

I just got their new one "Mansion Songs" today. Quite a bit different than Russian Wilds. Much more in a The Band or Neil Young vein. A bit more twang to it. Very acoustic based as well.

Did not know they had a new one. I will have to check it out.

Nothing coming up too soon. Too broke these days to see anyone noteworthy. Hoping to catch the Musical Box in San Francisco next month, but no guarantees.
