The February 5 Episode/Brass Union/Jittery Jack Tour





Hi, Folks!

The archive of last night's show is available for listening here if you want to check it out. (The archive will be up on iTunes and my web site shortly.) As always, thanks for listening. We wouldn't do it without you. 

This coming Wednesday, February 10, I'll be spinning records with my good buddy P.J. Eastman at Brass Union in Somerville. We do this gig once a month and it's always lots of fun. Brass Union has great food and drinks, a friendly atmosphere (not all places have that, as you probably know), and a fantastic sound system for blasting those rockin' 45s. Click here for more details. 




A reminder about the upcoming Jittery Jack U.S. Tour: Boston's Jittery Jack and Miss Amy will soon be traveling all over the country. Check out their Facebook page to see the itinerary and be sure to go see them when they come your way--this is a band you do not want to miss! And huge thanks to these guys for inviting me to DJ at their tour kick-off show February 26 at O'Brien's in Allston. Also on that bill are the Alrighters and Cactus Attack.
