Friday, July 28, The State Room, Salt Lake City, Utah.
http://www.thestateroom.com/calendar/lucinda-williamsWorthwhile final show of the tour, last night (Sunday, Mar. 26) at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville. I was joined at the show by stoger and tntracy. I chose to watch from upstairs at an empty table with 4 bar stools–a bit quieter than downstairs. Kasey’s fellow Australian Harry Hookey opened the show, and Harry and Kasey guested in each other’s sets. Kasey’s main set was broadcast live on radio from 9-10, then Kasey returned with her encore, including Talkin’ Baby Blues, which is not suitable for radio broadcast (includes F-word).
I just encountered Kasey and her mates at Nashville airport–we’re flying different airlines, but I suspect they’re flying much further home than me.
Note that the First Avenue (Minneapolis) calendar entry for April 28 specifies a Lucinda performance of ‘Sweet Old World’. Since 2017 is the 25-year anniversary of the 1992 release of the ‘Sweet Old World’ album, might it be inferred that Lucinda will perform all the songs from the album, rather than only singing the signature song?

Last night (Thursday, March 9), Kasey opened her 2017 USA tour with a fine performance at the Freight & Salvage Coffee House in downtown Berkeley, California. For this tour, Kasey is supported by her two-piece band, Grizzlee Train. No fiddle, no bass–just lots of guitars, banjo, and percussion.
Her setlist included the usual favorites, plus songs from the new album Dragonfly.
A helpful fan provided this setlist to setlist.fm:
http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kasey-chambers/2017/freight-and-salvage-coffee-house-berkeley-ca-33f9c0c9.htmlThe unknown songs were mostly from Dragonfly, including one song where Kasey plays resonator guitar.
There was a local opening act, then Kasey played from 9:00-10:51 PM.
A brilliant show, with a well responsive audience. Also, excellent selections of wine, beer, and cookies, in addition to coffee.
Also:
Monday, May 8; Rams Head On Stage, Annapolis, Maryland (not Baltimore).
http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1433947-lucinda-williams-annapolis/Thank you, stoger, for the setlist. I enjoyed watching the show at home on Facebook. No earplugs needed, no cellphone cameras in my view, and my own snacks and drinks. Getting ready for night #2 on Facebook.
Note to stoger: I attended the Santa Ana show, and I can confirm that ALT has a band, a very loud band. Also, both Belly Up shows are being streamed live on Facebook. You can see Monday’s show in about 4 hours (9 PM PST) from this post.
tonyg, the main stage room was about half-full, half-empty. The show was not announced on Facebook until earlier this week, and the Hotel Cafe did not load their online January calendar until this week.
The billions.com link below specifies the itinerary for a Kasey Chambers tour of the USA in March 2017.
(McCabes is listed twice because of 2 shows on March 11.)Tickets for most of these shows went on-sale today, Dec. 9.

The 2017 Grammy nominations were announced Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016. I read the entire list of nominees in 84 categories, and I note the absence of Lucinda and The Ghosts of Highway 20. Considering the many positive reviews, I’m puzzled by this result. I believe the release date of Feb. 5, 2016 met the Product Eligibility Period.
The Santa Barbara show at the Lobero Theatre, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017, is also announced and on-sale now.
https://www.lobero.com/events/lucinda-williams-band/Do not confuse this show with Lu’s appearance (just completed) at the Lobero on Nov. 28, 2016, as a guest with Charles Lloyd & friends.
The 3rd Troubadour show, Tuesday, Jan. 31, is announced and on-sale now. No presale.
