[JakeShows] Saturday afro-pop show, plus CD release parties scheduled for November in Providence and Sturbridge, plus other shows in October and November

[Jacob Haller]

Howdy all,

Welcome to my first post to the new mailing list.  Thanks for  
subscribing to it!

Lots of stuff going on last week and this week!  I will separate it  
into a couple of categories.

New CD Has Been Released!
-------------------------
My new CD, 'Mistaken Identity', arrived at my apartment a week ago and  
since then has been released upon the world.  If you want your very  
own copy, you have a few options:

- If you don't need an actual CD but would be happy with a  
downloadable version of the recordings, you can get them from my  
DigStation account at <http://www.digstation.com/AlbumDetails.aspx?albumID=ALB000036672 
 >.  You can also listen to sound samples there.

- If you live in Rhode Island, you can track me down at a show or  
something and buy one from me directly.  Alternatively, there are  
copies for sale at Frog & Toad on Hope Street and What Cheer Antiques  
on South Angell.  And of course you can come to the CD release party  
on November 17.  In all cases, the CDs cost $10.  For more  
information, see <http://music.jwgh.org/gigs.html>.

- If you don't live in Rhode Island, you can mail order a copy for $11  
using Paypal.  See <http://music.jwgh.org/gigs.html> and click on the  
'Buy Now' button to take advantage of this option.

- If you live in central Massachusetts, in addition to the options  
listed above you can also come to my CD release party in Sturbridge on  
November 21 next month and buy one there.  See below for more  
information about the show.

Eventually the CD should also be available in other places (such as in  
the iTunes Music Store) but that may take a while.

I've scheduled two CD release parties, one in Providence and one in  
Sturbridge, each with a different lineup of really excellent musicians  
who have agreed to help make these shows ones to remember.  I hope you  
all can make it to at least one of them!  The full information for  
both shows is below.

Upcoming Shows for October and November
---------------------------------------
Don't worry, I'll send out reminders for the shows after the one  
that's this coming weekend, but since I'm listing the release parties  
next month I thought I might as well include the other shows I've got  
planned for this month and the next.  As always, you can see  
everything I currently have scheduled at <http://music.jwgh.org/gigs.html 
 >.


Saturday October 17 -- AFRO-POP SHOW / OLNEYVILLE FALL FESTIVAL
-------------------
WHERE: The Olneyville Fall Festival, Riverside Park, Providence, RI
WHEN: Noon

The Double Decker Dance Band featuring Joseph Paye will be opening the  
Olneyville Fall Festival with 45 minutes of afro-pop dance music.


Saturday October 31 -- ELECTRIC KILLDEVILS HALLOWEEN SHOW
-------------------
WHERE: Nick-a-Nees, 75 South Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 9:30 pm to 12:30 am

The Killdevils have been hard at work learning some seasonally  
appropriate songs, plus a few seasonally inappropriate ones.  And of  
course we'll also be playing your old favorites.  Come on down, bring  
your werewolf, and enjoy a meatball sandwich!


Sunday November 1 -- THE EMPIRE REVUE
-----------------
WHERE: AS220, 115 Empire Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 8 pm to 10 pm
COVER: $8

The Empire Revue is a cabaret/variety show which is held on the first  
Sunday of every month.  It's always a good time, and I hope you can  
make it!  I will be singing a song which implies that the audience  
doesn't really exist.


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

The Killdevils's favorite bar in Providence is, of course, Nick-a- 
Nees.  With this show, could it be that Two Jerks could become the  
Nick-a-Nees of East Providence?   Come and find out!


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

This RIC hangout is now the site of a monthly singer-songwriter night  
hosted by Allysen Callery, who has kindly asked me to play there in  
November.  There will also be other acts TBA.


Tuesday November 17 -- **PROVIDENCE CD RELEASE PARTY WITH JON  
CAMPBELL, HANNAH DEVINE, AND THE KILLDEVILS!**
-------------------
WHERE: Everyman Bistro, 555 Valley Street, Providence, RI 02908
WHEN: 8 pm-11 pm

Come celebrate the release of my first professionally-done CD,  
'Mistaken Identity'!  There will be half-priced appetizers and a beer  
special and perhaps some other surprises.  Helping me to celebrate,  
excellent local acts Jon Campbell, Hannah Devine, and the electric  
Killdevils have agreed to join me (I will also play solo).  I'm  
planning to have a blast; come on out and have one too!


Thursday November 19 -- ELECTRIC KILLDEVILS SHOW W/SPECIAL GUESTS JACK  
HANLON AND CHRIS TURNER
--------------------
WHERE: Nick-a-Nees, 75 South Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 9 pm to midnight

With our usual bass player Jeff Keithline unfortunately unavailable,  
we took the opportunity to ask Jack Hanlon of the Amazing Crowns to  
sit in on bass, and harmonica wizard Chris Turner will also be joining  
us for much of the night.  Expect a night of rockabilly and blues!


Saturday November 21 -- **MASSACHUSETTS CD RELEASE PARTY WITH KATE  
KATZBERG, ANNE'S CORDIAL, AND THE SUPERCHIEF TRIO!**
--------------------
WHERE: Pioneer Brewing Company at Hyland Orchard, 199 Arnold Road,  
Sturbridge, MA 01518
WHEN: 6-10 pm

An early evening show with excellent (so I'm told) locally-produced  
beer.  There'll be a potluck, so if you haven't had dinner bring  
something to share and there should be some tasty food to eat ... (I  
plan to bring some bread, a pizza or two, and perhaps a homemade pie  
if there's time.)

I asked some talented friends to help me celebrate and they agreed to  
help out, so Kate Katzberg, Anne's Cordial, and the Superchief Trio  
will also be performing.  There'll be lots of great music, so I hope  
you can make it!


And that's about it for October and November, at least for now.  Hope  
to see you around!

So long,
Jacob Haller
