On-sale June 12.The Pollstar link below specifies the itinerary for an ambitious Kasey Chambers tour of the USA this summer 2015. An imposing schedule of 14 performances and trans-continental travel, considering Kasey just completed medical treatment for her vocal chords.
This tour promotes the USA release of Kasey’s Bittersweet album, released in Australia during summer 2014.
You may need to scroll the Pollstar screen to see all 14 dates–there may be advertising in the middle of the list.

Thank you, Lafayette, for the Pollstar link.
Here is a descriptive page from the 92Y site.https://www.92y.org/Event/Lucinda-Williams-in-Conversation.aspx
New show: Thursday, June 25, Brooklyn, NY.
http://bricartsmedia.org/events/performing-arts/lucinda-williams-jason-walkerAccording to the Magic City Blues Facebook page, Lucinda is headlining only on Sunday, August 2. The festival does function July 30-Aug. 2, with a variety of performers.
An intimate show for about 150 fortunate ticket-holders, seated in McCabe’s backroom.
The Kenneth Brian Band opened in their lite configuration: no bass, no drums, and no Lillie Mae. Kenneth and Travis played mellow electric guitars, while Frank played acoustic guitar, instead of bass.
On the small stage, Butch’s drums were wedged into an angled corner at the side front of the stage. With Stuart’s equipment blocking a safe access to the drums, Butch reached his drums by walking through the audience seats, and climbing to the front of the stage, using an improvised box as a step.
From this forum, I observed the Webmasta, seated with a few VIP’s, whom I did not know.
Peggy French was busy, snapping some unobtrusive photos. A photo of the stage, with Butch’s corner, appears this morning on Peggy’s Facebook page, PeggyFrenchPhotography.
Thanks, tonyg, for your lucid report.
Yes, I was left-stage-front with Cindy, watching Lucinda the folk singer; I retreated back to the side exit with stellablueee and grumpymama, when Lucinda the rocker appeared–then I climbed back to the Loft to end my evening.
Just a silly question…did someone actually announce that Pomona was cancelled? I didn’t read about the cancellation until this morning, just surfing at webpages.
Just to clarify for stoger and others: the Loft is a reception room upstairs at the south side of the Troubadour, overlooking the side of the stage. On some evenings, the room is private and reserved for VIP’s; however, on other evenings, such as Lucinda shows, the room is open to the general audience, with access by a sticker. When entering the Troubadour, and obtaining your wristband, a staff member may offer you a sticker, or you may request a sticker. The stickers are limited by the reasonable capacity of the room. The Loft has couches, chairs, a private bar, and a private restroom. You can hear the show in the Loft, but you can not see the stage unless you stand up at the glass partition, or move a bar stool to the glass partition. Most folks with stickers do not remain in the Loft, but simply visit occasionally to sit, talk, or drink between sets or songs. After Monday’s show, folks informally moved to the Loft to socialize, as the Troubadour staff worked to clean the main floor. Physically, the midpoint of the Loft is aligned with the marquee, which is why the staff uses the sliding windows of the Loft to change the marquee letters.
Interesting, after the show, sitting upstairs in the Loft at 12:30 AM, enjoying some wine with friends, watching a Troubadour employee diligently changing the marquee–opening two sliding windows, removing the individual letters L U C I N D A W i L L I A M S, carefully storing each letter in its alphabetical box, and newly placing letters for David Cook, the performer of tonight (2/24/15). Knowing the entire process will be reversed in 24-hours, with L U C I N D A W I L L I A M S being restored to the marquee. Maintaining the tradition of the Troubadour since 1957—no electronic marquees here.
Thanks, tonyg, for posting the setlist. Although I was seated in the comfortable Loft before the show, I moved downstairs by the stage near Cindy and tonyg for much of the music. Good meeting all the folks mentioned by tonyg.
Note that Wednesday’s show is also sold-out, and that Lucinda’s band will play the opening set. The KBB returns Thursday night in Pomona. Although Lucinda’s band uses the name Buick 6, the Troubadour website links Buick 6 to the European band with that name.
I also attended the Seattle show. Thanks again, Mike, for your report.
To interject my version of the setlist, I listed the first 4 songs as:
1. Blessed
2. Car Wheels
3. Drunken Angel
4. I Lost ItThe songs then follow Mike’s list, so that Honey Bee ended the main set as #18 (although appearing as the 17th entry in Mike’s list).
A good show, but with limited alcohol (except for Lucinda’s wine). As with many Seattle venues, the show was sold as all-ages. Accordingly, although there was a bar at the rear, the alcoholic beverages could not be removed beyond the roped area surrounding the bar. Consequently, the audience standing nearer the stage remained quite sober, without the spilling of drinks, or the constant traffic of refills.
Just a note that today, Friday, Feb. 6, is a big ticketing day for Lucinda’s Los Angeles area shows.
To summarize at 10:40 AM PST:
McCabes went on sale at 10 AM: Saturday sold out in 30 minutes, Sunday sold out in 40 minutes.

You will need to decide between General Admission and VIP Gold Circle ORCHESTRA–no explanation for what the VIP ticket provides.
NOTE: If you choose to navigate via the Belly-Up calendar, you will encounter an erroneous “Sold-Out” button. Just click on the “Sold Out” to reach the above link.
