October 2010 Concert Schedule

Here are some concerts coming up in October that you should be aware of. Check back, as I will add shows to this list as they're announced.

October 1, 2010
Entrain - Tupelo Music Hall, Londonderry, NH
Fountains Of Wayne - Troubadour, 9081 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA (with Jill Sobule)
Fountains Of Wayne has some really good songs, but having Jill Sobule on the bill makes the show that much more tempting. I saw her perform at a Leonard Cohen tribute show several years ago, and she was excellent.
The Loomers - The Front Room, Worcester, MA - If you're in Massachusetts, do not miss this show. Jon Svetkey is going to do a short acoustic set in the middle of the show. When was the last time this happened? And when was the last time Jon or The Loomers did a full-length show in Worcester? It's been ten years.
