ZENBARN & PASSIM NEXT WEEKEND // PRINE TRIBUTE
February: blink and you’ll miss it. Here’s a quick refresher on the remaining (and imminent!) tourdates this month -
ZENBARN // This Friday Feb 10 I’ll be up at Zen Barn in Waterbury, VT (a place I just played for the first time recently, posing as a member of Session Americana). This time around it’ll be the KD show, accompanied by certified Vermonter Jeff Berlin on drums, and the most excellent Isa Burke on guitar & vocals and maybe even a little fiddle if she’s in the mood. Before the release of my Long Day in the Milky Way album got sunk by Covid, we’d had a US tour planned with Isa’s band Lula Wiles opening as themselves and then backing me up, and it’s a great sadness to me that it never got to happen - so I’m very happy to finally get to play together. Come behold as we learn songs in real time on stage!
PASSIM // The following night we’ll head back to Massachusetts for two shows, Saturday Feb 11 at Club Passim in Cambridge MA. For these shows I’ll be joined by the aforementioned Isa Burke and my completely-transcendent friend Rose Polenzani. I can hardly wait to sing songs with these two; it’s a rare treat and I hope you’ll join us for either the Early Bird show at 5:00 or the “late show” at the reckless hour of 8:00(!).
WINTER WALK // Bright and early the next morning, I’ll take part in Boston’s Annual Winter Walk to raise funds and awareness to help address homelessness in the community. I have people in my own personal orbit who have ended up unhoused, and it’s made it wrenchingly clear how little can stand between any of us and that predicament. The Walk benefits a number of groups doing great work in the Boston area and I’m happy to be able to pitch in to this effort. If you’d like to contribute any amount large or small, my fundraising page is here.
PRINE TRIBUTE // Looking ahead, on March 3 I’ll be part of a John Prine Tribute show, which is just one event in Northampton’s Back Porch Festival running all weekend. For this show at the lovely Academy of Music, I’ll join Peter Mulvey, Winterpills, Tracy Grammer, and many more friends to play songs selected from the mighty Prine songbook. This should be a good enough time that I’m not sure it even qualifies as work.
Better quit talking or it’ll be March already - hope to see some of you New Englanders out & about this weekend. *kd
