Also:

February 14 (the Sunday before Presidents’ Day): Bring your valentine out to the Midway Café in Jamaica Plain for an eye-poppingly rare performance by Boston’s kings of Western Swing and Honky Tonk, The Spurs! I will be spinning dance-friendly country and rockabilly throughout the night. (See the above cool flier, designed by the amazing Mrs. Sludge!)

This is an early-start show: I’ll start spinning at 8:45 and The Spurs will take the stage shortly thereafter.
