Due to the abrupt departure of bassist Jason Narducy from the Bob Mould/Spiral Stairs tour I'm currently on (Jason's wife was about to give birth), I took a shot and offered up my four-string services and I'm pleased to say...they were accepted! So, long story short, I'll now be playing bass with Bob and drummer extraordinaire Jon Wurster for the last two shows of the "Life and Times" tour. I've done my best to learn 18 songs in the last 40 hours (songs from every era of Mould's career btw) and I am thrilled to be confirmed for these dates:


10/19   Los Angeles, CA                         The Troubadour
10/20   San Diego (Solana Beach), CA       The Belly Up


I'll still be playing with Spiral Stairs both nights as well. I hope you get a chance to check it out!


Best,


JA


(P.S. Jason Narducy made it home one hour before the birth of his daughter...Congratulations!)

Jon has three upcoming appearances in the NYC area, one in Brooklyn, two in Manhattan, all this coming week!

9/15    Brooklyn, NY   - The Bell House (opening for Fountains of Wayne)

9/16    New York, NY  -  Le Poisson Rouge (part of J.W. Harding's Cabinet of Wonders)

9/17    New York, NY  -  The Living Room (longer solo set)


Jon's performed in the area recently with The Posies, but this will be the best chance yet to see him solo in New York, especially his set at The Living Room (who currently have Mr. Auer as a featured artist on their homepage).
