[JakeShows] In NYC tomorrow, TV party Monday, Killdevils at Nick-a-Nees with Marty Ballou Thursday, acoustic Killdevils in North Kingstown Friday

[Jacob Haller]

Hi all,

I'm doing some last-minute errands and packing before heading down to  
Manhattan for the show tomorrow, but there are a few things I wanted  
to let you know about before I take off.

First, there's the Alphabet Lounge show tomorrow.  If you know anyone  
down NYC way who you think would enjoy the show, please consider  
letting them know about it -- I really appreciate it!  I plan to give  
someone a bottle of coffee syrup.

Second, this morning I learned that Marty Ballou has agreed to play  
with the Killdevils on Thursday at Nick-a-Nees.  Marty's a great  
musician and I've been a big admirer of his since I used to go  
downtown every Wednesday night to see him, Chris Turner, and Thom  
Enright perform as 'The Last Minute Blues Band', a group that I miss a  
lot.  Finding out that Marty is going to play with us was a great way  
to start the day!

Third (this is not in chronological order), one of my favorite local  
restaurants, the Liberty Elm, is being featured on the 'Diners, Drive- 
Ins and Dives' show on the Food Network on Monday at 10 pm.  The  
L.E.'s owner, Kip, has decided to organize a party and has asked  
CMonti and I to play a short set to kick off the night.  (Mark Cutler  
and Lucky 57 will also be playing.)  The party will be at Everyman  
Bistro -- see below for details -- and it should be a lot of fun.

Fourth, I wrote a song named 'The Scheduling Song' for last Sunday's  
'Songwriters in the Round' and put it up as the free mp3 of the week,  
so if you want you can download it or listen to it this weekend on  
this page: <http://music.jwgh.org/freemp3.html>

I think those are the high points, but you can see what else is going  
on through March 1st below (and you can always see all of the shows  
I've currently got planned at <http://music.jwgh.org/gigs.html>).  See  
you around!

Monday March 1 -- OPEN MIKE HOST
--------------
WHERE: Everyman, 555 Valley Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 9:30 pm

This free open mike is normally run by John Windle, but he's taking a  
couple of weeks off and has asked me to host this week.  I'll do a  
couple of songs to start off the night, then the open mike will start;  
the featured act, Chris Monti and Joseph Paye (they'll perform afro- 
pop and other music) will go on around 10:15 pm or so.

Signup starts around 8:30 pm and the open mike will start at 9:30 pm.

The food at the restaurant is quite tasty, so you may want to arrive a  
little early for dinner.  The menu's at <http://www.everymanri.com/complmenu.pdf 
 >, but also ask about their specials!

This will be a 'pass the hat' show.


So long,
Jacob Haller
