[JakeShows] Providence Folk Festival and other upcoming shows

[Jacob Haller]

I kind of took the summer off, and I'm at a bit of a loss to say why.  But September's coming, and it's jam-packed with shows; I hope I get to see you at one of them!

One thing of particular note is that I've been asked to put together the lineup for one of the stages at the Providence Folk Festival, which is on Sunday September 7 from noon to 6 pm.  I listened to a ton of music in the course of picking out the eight performers who I ultimately asked to play, and Tracie Potochnik agreed to co-host the stage with me, and we'll play a few songs together.  See below for the full lineup!

I'll also mention that the first episode of my podcast, 'Tell Me About Your Song', was released last year on September 1, so it's been going right around a year.  It's been a lot of fun, and, if you haven't checked it out yet, the last couple of episodes are among my favorites.  Check 'em out at http://tellmeaboutyoursong.com/ !

OK, here's my ridiculous schedule for the next month:
