Ok, so it's that time of year & we just couldn't resist using the word Roo in talking about The Bittersweets in-store this Thursday at Grimey's. It's catchy, right?: I-Roo love-Roo The Bittersweets-Roo.

The new Matt Flinner Trio album, Music du Jour, is now available in stores and at www.compassrecords.com/matt-flinner.

In August of 2006, with the backdrop of the Rockies to inspire them, the Matt Flinner Trio (Matt Flinner (mandolin), Ross Martin (guitar), and Eric Thorin (bass)) threw down a challenge to one another: write a new tune each day while on tour and perform it that evening. The first gig was at a small art gallery in Salt Lake City and barring a frantic evening of photocopying and rehearsing, the show was a success. The players continued with their daily musical challenge, giving birth to the concept of the “Music du Jour” tours and later the Music du Jour album.

Matt Flinner is performing this week at Merlefest as a special guest with Missy Raines & The New Hip.
