[JakeShows] In Jamestown Saturday, at Nick-a-Nees a week from Thursday, plus shows in other states and open mike news!

[Jacob Haller]

Hey everyone,

Providence has decided it's spring, although it's been switching back  
and forth between warm, nice out spring and cold rainy spring.  (And  
apparently it's supposed to snow on Friday, but if I wanted to believe  
weather forecasts I wouldn't live in New England.)  This state of  
affairs will probably last through the first half of summer.

After a March with hardly any shows I'm entering another period where  
I'll be quite busy indeed.  Before I talk about the shows of the next  
couple of weeks, though, I wanted to announce a couple of pieces of  
news.

First of all, starting this coming Monday March 29 I'm going to be  
hosting the Monday night open mike at Everyman Bistro (311 Iron Horse  
Way in Providence, just off Valley Street).  There's also a Wednesday  
night open mike which is run by Joe Auger.

Signup for the open mike starts at 8:30, and the open mike itself  
generally gets rolling around 9:15 pm.  If you're a musician looking  
for places to play, I hope you come check us out!  I've also booked  
some great featured acts; in March and April alone I've got Stevie  
Lightnin' on March 29, Worcester bluesman Kevin James on April 5,  
Chris Monti is guest-hosting on April 12, Millee Tibbs on April 19,  
and Mark Cutler on April 26.  I'm really looking forward to these  
shows and I hope you can make it to some of them!  You can see the  
full open mike schedule at <http://music.jwgh.org/openmike.html>.

I've also booked a couple of shows outside of New England.  These are  
a ways in the future, but I wanted to get the word out early ... first  
up I'm returning to the Alphabet Lounge in Manhattan, NY on Saturday  
May 22, where as before I'll be playing 7-7:45 pm and the cover will  
be $10.  Then, on Saturday June 19 I'll have a show down near DC, at  
Mad City Columbia, 10801 Hickory Ridge RD in Columbia, Maryland.  That  
one will be 6:30-9:30 pm and will have no cover charge.  As always,  
you can see my full schedule at <http://music.jwgh.org/gigs.html>.

So there's lots to look forward to.  Specifically, in the next couple  
of weeks here are the shows I've got going:

Saturday March 27 -- SOLO SHOW
-----------------
WHERE: The CBC Coffee House at the Central Baptist Church, 99  
Narragansett Avenue, Jamestown, RI 02835
WHEN: 7-10 pm
COVER: $5

I'll be doing a set at this annual fundraiser for Jamestown's Central  
Baptist Church.  Allysen Callery, Kim Lamothe, and possibly others  
will also perform.

Thursday April 1 -- ELECTRIC KILLDEVILS SHOW
----------------
WHERE: Nick-a-Nees, 75 South Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 9 pm to midnight

Another free electric show at Nick-a-Nees (75 South Street in  
Providence) with me, Chris Monti, drummer Matt McLaren, and bassist  
Marty Ballou.  Bring your dog and enjoy the show!

Sunday April 4 -- ACOUSTIC KILLDEVILS SHOW (brunch show)
--------------
WHERE: The Liberty Elm, 777 Elmwood Avenue, Providence, RI 02907
WHEN: 11 am - 1 pm

Did you know that the Liberty Elm was recently featured on the  
'Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives' show on the Food Network?  The video's  
here: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omqqpvTSkL4>  Every time I see  
the video I become hungry for a turkey sandwich.

Anyway, this will be an all-acoustic brunch show.  Chris and I will  
play acoustic.

Friday April 9 -- SOLO SHOW (Songwriters in the Round anniversary show)
--------------
WHERE: AS220, 115 Empire Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 8 pm
COVER: $10

This all-star celebration of the Songwriters in the Round series put  
on by RISA every month will feature music by Ryan Fitzsimmons, Joanne  
Lurgio, Jim Tata, me, John Fuzek, Malyssa Bellarosa, Kayla Ringelheim,  
Jan Luby, Mark Cutler, Allysen Callery, Heather Rose, John Windle,  
Garry Foisy, Paul Pasch, and Steve Allain.

And that's it for the next couple of weeks.  As always, you can see  
all of my currently scheduled shows at <http://music.jwgh.org/ 
gigs.html> (and I've recently added facebook links to the page, so if  
shows have facebook events linked to them you can get to them just by  
clicking on the facebook icon).

Have a great week!

So long,
Jacob Haller
