Friends, I’m having trouble processing the week ahead and these gigs for my own self, much less promoting them with verve. These are crazy times in the ATX, so I’ll just summarize and let you absorb the information at your own pace.
Tonight, join me and 19 thinkers/writers/artists at 20×2, the revolutionary event for short-attention-span smarties. I have performed at this annual shindig twice before, and it is always fun. It’s free if you have a SXSW Interactive badge; there’s a small cover if you don’t.
Wednesday, I have my traditional show with Matt the Electrician at Flipnotics, but we’ll only play an hour this week, starting at 8. The song title is “Hitchhiking in Romania.” Before that, I’ll visit Hyde Park Bar & Grill South to open The Whiskey Rebellion, a unique blend of music and literature for the dinner crowd.
Saturday is the big day this year. I’ll play a song or two as part of the Million Musician March on the Capitol Steps. Then we’ll move through downtown to conclude at City Hall. I like peace! I’m not afraid to admit it. In the evening, I’ll play an hour at your friendly neighborhood Cafe Caffeine, and at 11:30, I’ll play a half-hour at the legendary Cactus Cafe (possibly for the last time).
So pick your poison! Check out the full list below, and feel free to click around for more details and schedules. Tons of great artists are playing for free at these places, but you already know that.
Have fun! Be safe!
