I saw a post on Eilen Jewel’s FB page [and punchdrunklove took notice] she is opening for Lu in Sydney! It looks like it is a one off for Eilen. I would love to see this pairing one day!
I made it to the In Store for a few songs at Shake It Records in Cincy, although I was somewhat late and only heard the last two songs. Erika said at one point she lived only 3 blocks from the record store and someone in the band said he lived across the street at the Northside Tavern, where Erika tended bar. Everyone laughed. Sound was great all things considered and Erika’s voice was magnifico. Lefty, I picked up a CD for you and had Erika sign it thinking you might not get to see them this go round. DM me your address and I’ll send it your way. It’s signed to “Lefty.” 😀
Agreeed, Drunken Angel! I listened to an online stream because….

What?! Huh? I haven’t received my package!
I just purchased a ticket to a festival in Knoxville where Amos is headlining, late April.
A day less 20 hours short. Last night, I received an email in my inbox around 8:00 p.m. for an exclusive invite (20 listeners) to an In Studio at WNKU for the HB. Apparently, I missed out as, per the instructions, I would receive a return email with directions to the studio if my request made it into queue. No confirmation email as I write. Looks like Shake It Records will be calling my name, for sure.
To review – an In Studio at WNKU, an in store at Shake It Records, and a show at the Madison Theater all on February 17. Erika and company will be working for the money on a Friday in Cincinnati.
I would bet the WNKU appearance will be broadcast – catch it at http://www.wnku.org at 11:00 a.m. EST
I really thought she was going to win, however, did read somewhere along the line a Levon Helm was projected. Congrats, Levon!

KellyI’m not making Nashville but shooting for Cincinnati next week on the 17th! They are also doing an in store here in Cincy which I definitely have plans on attending.

John Mellencamp, did someone say “John Mellencamp?” Woody is one of his heroes with JM receiving the “Woody Guthrie Award” in 2003. http://www.billboard.com/news/mellencamp-to-receive-guthrie-honor-1952994.story#/news/mellencamp-to-receive-guthrie-honor-1952994.story
Are you going, coffee? I’ve decided against it, would be great, but it’s a little far and the tickets are more than what I want to budget at the moment.
I have good mojo vibes on Lucinda taking the Grammy for “Blessed.” I really think this will be her year.
I had a feeling you would like the house. It’s a very serene setting. John’s junior high school art teacher works the center as a volunteer and loves visits by the Mellenheads. On the property is a barn that’s been converted into a pottery studio. In the loft area of the barn is where John’s #1 hit single, a cover of Van Morrison’s “Wild Night” with Meshell Ndegeocello, was filmed. The loft is appropriately named “The Wild Night” loft. There is a garden area dedicated to John’s grandmother and his mother passed away just this past Monday and there are plans to name a room after her as, she too, was an artist and very involved with the Art Center. JM’s parents’s house is nearby, the 8 room farmhouse John sang about in “Cherry Bomb.”
Here is a trivia blog I wrote about the “Wild Night” shoot with embedded video.

Oh, and I don’t own any of John’s paintings, it’s the one thing I pine to own. Sometimes one becomes available, through auctions and on ebay, etc but the $$$ needed to purchase were beyond my means. Some fans have been lucky to acquire some great deals, just hasn’t happened for me yet. I do have a few posters of his artwork and I do have an autographed lithograph I snagged on ebay which is a limited edition. I had it matted and framed.
