[JakeShows] Killdevils in East Providence on Saturday; also, the first reviews come in

[Jacob Haller]

Hi all,

Old hands at the music biz might be blase about it, but I'm pretty  
excited to see my CD get mentioned in a couple of publications.  The  
first review was by Jonathan Cook and appeared in the Tantasqua Town  
Common.  Unfortunately the article no longer appears to be online, but  
it said in part "Haller ranges with hints of Leon Redbone, Greg Brown  
and Paul Geremia, smoothly pulling out lines that are as catchy as a  
smile. The tunes themselves never try too hard. They are just fresh  
and somewhat jolly sounding."

The second review appears in the current issue of Rhode Island's Motif  
Magazine (I picked up my copy today!)  It should be online in a couple  
of days or so at <http://www.motifmagazine.net/>; in it John Fuzek  
describes the CD as so:  "With musical help from friends [...] Haller  
created a comfortable recording of his quirky, offbeat, and from the  
heart compositions."

It might also be worth mentioning that those of you who haven't heard  
the CD yet can now hear the first four tracks from it on my Myspace  
and Facebook pages (<http://www.myspace.com/jwgh> and <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jacob-Haller/43616244152 
 >.)

But enough about the CD.  In other exciting news, the Killdevils have  
a show at a new venue this weekend!  The owners of the club heard us  
play at Nick-a-Nees a few months ago and when I called them we booked  
a show on:


Saturday November 7 -- ELECTRIC KILLDEVILS SHOW
-------------------
WHERE: Two Jerks Pub and Grill, 446 Waterman Avenue, East Providence, RI
WHEN: 9 pm to midnight

We're excited to play at this East Providence bar with the unusual  
name.  They've got a website at <http://www.twojerks.com/> and I'm  
looking forward to checking out the food before the show.  We might  
pull out our rockingest material for this show ...

If you're on Facebook you can indicate your plans to attend here: <http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=155864609685

Then the next weekend there's:


Saturday November 12 -- SOLO SHOW
--------------------
WHERE: Ruffstone Tavern, 17 Metcalf Ave, North Providence, RI 02911
WHEN: 9 pm to midnight

Excellent East Bay singer-songwriter Allysen Callery was asked to  
start up a songwriter's night at this North Providence bar (which  
draws both locals and students from nearby RIC), and this will be the  
second such night.  Also playing will be Kim Lamothe and Chris Moon,  
who are also excellent musicians and performers.


That'll be it until the CD release parties ... but those will be the  
subject of a future email.  In the meantime, be well!

So long,
Jacob Haller
