And here I am again.  :-)  Here's what I've got going on this month.   
I'm also running the open mike at Everyman Bistro most Mondays; you  
can see what I've got planned there at any time via <http://music.jwgh.org/openmike.html 
 >.

I should admit that I'm not 100% sure that we're going to end up  
playing this show.  However, if all goes according to plan, the afro- 
pop band I'm in (the Double Decker Dance Band) will be opening for the  
fantastic Sierra Leone All-Stars.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

I'll be opening the show, followed by out-of-town improvisational  
multi-media classicist Jack Curtis Dubowsky, and the great Steve Jobe  
and Rachel Miller will close out the show.  You can hear some of  
Jack's music at <http://www.youtube.com/user/DeStijlMusic>.  Should be  
an interesting night!

Providence, RI 02903
WHEN: 8 pm

I'll be opening for the Hannah Devine Band (Matt McLaren on drums,  
Alec K. Redfearn on bass) at this nifty listening room.

I like Hannah's music a lot, which is the reason I asked her to play  
at my Providence CD release party last year and asked if I could play  
this show with her this month.  It might not be politic to say it, but  
of all the solo shows I've had going on the last few months, this is  
the one I've been looking forward to the most.

Hannah won Rhode Island Idol in 2008 and is one of my competitors for  
Best Acoustic Singer/Songwriter in the Phoenix awards, so if you  
haven't heard her before this is a good opportunity to check us both  
out and decide which of us should win.  ;-)


That's about it for April.  I hope you all are enjoying the weather!

So long,
Jacob Haller
