Hiram & Huddie is a tribute CD to Hank Williams Sr. and Leadbelly put out by Hillgrass Bluebilly in Austin, TX. With artwork by Jon Langford, liner notes by John Carter Cash, and some great musicians, it's a great package, and i'm really proud to be a part of it. Artists include Bob Log III, Scott Biram, William Eliot Whitmore, Wayne 'The Train' Hancock, and more. I got lucky somehow and got to have 2 songs on the record, Hank's "My Bucket's Got a Hole in it" and Leadbelly's "Bottle Up and Go", which i recorded in the bakery basement last winter.

Hey everybody,

After a quiet spring things are starting to heat up a bit for summer.

I'll be playing a couple of festival shows in central Italy (Rome and
Avezzano) June 23-24 with my friends Hillstomp,
following up a few weeks later with the Belgium Rhythm and Blues
festival in Peer (rhymes with beer), Belgium on July 14. Other performers at
Peer include John Hiatt, the Mississippi All-Stars, and Gov't Mule.

2007 Jun 23 Mojo Station Blues Festival Rome, Italy
2007 Jun 24 Avezzano In Blues Festival Avezzano, Italy
2007 Jul 14 Belgium Rhythm and Blues Festival Peer, Belgium
2007 Jul 21 Royal Oak Farmer's Market Royal Oak, MI
2007 Jul 22 The Steak Hut Detroit, MI
2007 Jul 28 Jacoby's Detroit, MI

Then I play a couple of noon-time local shows, first at the Royal Oak
Farmer's Market, which is actually a morning show (very rare) from 10am
to noon. the Sunday show is from 11am - 1pm at the Detroit Steak Hut. I
haven't been there yet, but they've been having a lot of fun with their
Sunday lunch series. Address is 1551 W. Lafayette, Detroit. phone
313.961.0659

Finally, I just found out that several tunes from 'Hauling' have been
licensed by the PBS show Roadtrip Nation for both the broadcast and
online editions of their show. I haven't been able to see the show (our PBS
station sadly doesn't carry it, too busy running info-mercials) but it
looks pretty cool, young folks on the road, getting philosophical
about, like, life and stuff.

Ciao

New JAWBONE CD Release Show

*** New JAWBONE full-length CD - Hauling
*** New JAWBONE 7" single - Chug-a-lug b/w Get Rhythm

There's really nothing like the Lager House in the summertime- the cheap cans of beer,
the friendly, road-weary faces with red, smoke-stung eyes, the ghetto-palm breezes blowing across the quiet of Michigan Avenue...

Hey everybody-

We'll be celebrating the release of both the new full-length CD and the 7-inch single with a special CD release show at the Lager House in Detroit on Saturday, June 17. Special guests for the evening include Hillstomp and local rockers Charlie Don't Surf. Hillstomp are a North-Mississippi style punk-blues duo out of Portland, Oregon who are currently on tour in the midwest supporting their latest release 'The Woman That Ended The World'. If you are a fan of Fat
Possum-style hill country blues stomp then you won't want to pass this one by.

The new cd and single will be available for purchase at the show.

For those of you in the Detroit area, this should be a heckuva show. Not sure of the order of appearance, I might be opening or going on before Unknown, but the show is expected to sell out and is scheduled to start fairly early (9pm?).

From Unknown Hinson's Presskit:
Looking somewhat like Dracula's nasty little brother who spent some hard years drinking and working as a carnival barker for a second-rate freak show, Unknown Hinson translates that vibe to his style of country and western-tinged psychobilly.

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, this red-necked crooner gained regional popularity with a self-produced television show in 1992 and soon was touring nationwide, wowing audiences with his outrageous and campy, white-trash persona and freewheeling, sleazy tone. Hinsons most recent CD release, The Future Is Unknown, melds weepy twang and searing guitar riffs and lyrics that speak of love-gone-bad and the dark side of the honky-tonk lifestyle. Raucous, theatrical and over-the-top, Unknown Hinson isnt just for the trailer park set anymore!

For the past several years now a group of Detroit-area rock and roll musicians have been getting together on Sunday afternoons a couple of times a year at a local coffeehouse to put on musical shows for the new crop of little 'uns popping up on the scene. The basic idea was simple enough, to share with the kids their passion for, and the fun of, getting together and making a lot of noise with all your friends.

A by-product of all the knock-knock jokes and kazoo blowing is a new CD called 'The Family Hootenanny'. It's 16 tracks of mostly original songs include performances by some of Detroit's better-known artists, including Blanche's Dan Miller Stuck in the Playpen Again, The Come-Ons The Duck Song, and Loretta Lucas Down By The Bay. There's also a Jawbone song that I did on banjo called Popsicle Soup.

If you have children, know any children, were a child once yourself, or are currently a child as you read this, you might want to find out more about it on The Family Hootenanny myspace page.
