Pre-sales start today for Bryan Ferry's USA leg of the "Avalon" tour - might be my last chance to see him again so I think we'll make the trip up to Denver for a show.
Wow, didn't even realize he was on tour. By the looks of the dates...he's really going for it. Lots and lots of shows. I see one in Chicago in early August.
Going to see Elton John this Saturday the 19th in San Jose. Not a good venue for sound but hopefully he has the gear to compensate.
Saw Styx two nights ago... excellent show! They played many songs from The Mission, and some of them were different from what I saw them play last year. The producer of The Mission played mandolin on “Red Storm” live! On January 20th Styx will play the entire Mission album live in Vegas.
I've got tickets to see Robyn in April. He never disappoints. His music could be amazing in surround!
I saw him a few times in the 80's with The Egyptians and though I kept up with buying most of the albums I always seemed to miss the live shows in my areas for one reason or another. Show we'll be at is March 31...looking forward to it!
Terrific show by the Jerry Douglas Band @ City Winery - December 29th, 2017, supporting the new 'What If' album that includes a cool cover of Hey Joe.

I'm much more patient and curious about music today than when I was younger and appreciating the classics more fully now than back in its day. This was a delightful Hot Tuna show @City Winery Nashville on January 11th, 2018. When they walked back out after an intermission I exclaimed "Swagger and Nuance!" Jack quickly adopted a 'who, me?' self-referential point-at-his-lapels posture, looking full Steve Buschemi! Didn't get that in my photos.

I'd seen Al Stewart solo at City Winery in NYC (when high school friend Cindy Lee Berryhill opened for him) a couple years ago, this was a chance to see him with full band (that also functioned as the opener). This show was at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA on Jan 18th, 2018 with my best friend. It's hard to get good photos there so we sat in the back, concentrating on our drinks and laughs. Al's sidekick with the wireless sax was on hand to walk through the crowd.

Five days after Al Stewart, John Hiatt played at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA on Jan 23rd, 2018. This time my friend Nick joined me and we were about in the middle of the standing crowd. Slide guitar ace Sonny Landreth was on hand for this tour that including most of Slow Turning, which is my overall favorite Hiatt album. They played the material beautifully and John told some of his trademark funny stories along the way. Again difficult to get good photos there.
Tim!!!!!!!!
I'm envious, especially about Hot **** (er, RCA made them change it to Tuna).
Jerry Douglas! I'm even more envious. I love his Union Station stuff and the Flatt & Scruggs cover band, Earls of Leicester. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=earls+of+leicester+

Yes my wife does attend shows with me if 1) the music is in her wheelhouse and 2) it's a Fri or Sat night as she gets up early. She joined me for this Snarky Puppy show @ Marathon Music Stage in Nashville on Feb 16th, 2018. As some of you might be aware, this band born of a Texas college music class, morphs with new players coming into the band and their sound changes often. I really fell for the opening act FORQ, which is actually a side project of Snarky Puppy bassist Michael League (also collaborating with David Crosby as of late). Since Michael was playing in Snarky Puppy this night, the bass duties were handled ably by Kevin Scott. After the show, I bought all of the current FORQ CDs from their website.
FORQ opening
Snarky Puppy - previous guitarist (on Culcha Vulcha album) was moody great; this new guitarist brought a more up-front edgy element
This young fellow really struggled on his first trumpet solo yet seriously nailed it the rest of the night!

I first saw Robin Trower @ Golden Hall in San Diego in May 1975. Local hero Bill Lordan had just taken over the drum chair and they were supporting For Earth Below. Since the release of the previous Bridge of Sighs smash hit album the year before the size of his audience had grown considerably. Now we fast forward to his current day shows; smaller venues once again, yet no less fiery guitar playing. Like the gig down in Chattanooga, TN last year, a great little rock duo named Strange Vine from Fresno, CA opened the show. It was amazing what two men could do; the drummer would also play a Fender Rhodes piano type keyboard with one hand at times while drumming with the rest of his body! The other fellow plays some volcanic slide guitar and they both sing on top of that. They had a CD EP that I bought at this Nashville gig at the Marathon Music venue on March 16th, 2018. Robin Trower's group came out and got the crowd going immediately. They did play some great newer material and of course played the monster hits that were FM radio staples for years. Robin seemed at ease and you could really see him getting into it during some epic soloing. The younger rhythm section ably supported his every move.

Eric Johnson is one of the greatest all-round guitarists operating just under the radar. Starting with The Electromagnets in his native Texas, he has been making great music for decades. His peak commercial album was 1990's Ah Via Musicom. Having seen Eric Johnson several times over the years, I knew it would be a great show then became aware they'd be playing that entire album sealed the deal. On March 21st, 2018 he graced the stage @ City Winery in Nashville with musical neighbor from Austin, Arielle opening and also joining in on the evening's finale.
I have his Ah Via album, I didn't realise he was still gigging! Has he ever gigged in the UK?

Elton John was quite a show last night, he stretched out many tunes. Soloed songs, beautiful stage, great crowd. He seemed a little hoarse, chubbier than before, getting older, couldn't hit some of the previous high notes but didn't try. Glad I was able to see the show.

Have you seen the Transatlantic Sessions in the US? All 6 series are available on DVD, Jerry Douglas is one of the musical directors. I watched them all again over the Xmas break, absolutely brilliant.
