Ralph's World
in New York City this weekend!
Tickets still available! Two California shows in June:
Los Angeles and San Francisco New Illinois and Texas gigs announced!
This Saturday (May 2nd) the RW band is rockin' two shows at The Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space in New York City. The first show is at 11am and the afternoon concert is at 2pm. Members of the Just Kidding Club can still get tickets for as low as $10 and for non-members a Family Four-Pack is available via phone (212-864-5400) at considerable savings.
It'll be a month before Ralph's World is performing live again- and then it'll be on the opposite coast. On Saturday, June 6th it'll be a special show at the Echoplex in Los Angeles also featuring Lisa Loeb. The RW Band will be playing with both Ralph and Lisa.
On Sunday, Ralph and the guys head north to San Francisco for a show at the Swedish American Hall on Market Street. That's right upstairs from Cafe Du Nord. Tickets are now on sale via TicketWeb for this June 7th, 3pm concert.
New Ralph's World shows:
Many of you have been writing in and asking if Ralph was going to play the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, again. While this fabulous nature preserve may not have as much live entertainment as last year, they made sure Ralph would be able to perform. Ralph loves performing here because it's one of his favorite places to go when he's not playing music anyway! Traditionally, this show has sold out in advance so it'll be a good idea to plan your day way in advance. Members of the Arboretum get first chance for tickets starting May 11th- and it's not too late to join. This outdoor, general admission show is on Sunday, July 26th.
(Don't forget that about a month earlier Ralph's World will be doing a rare early evening outdoor show as a benefit for Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview on June 19th.)
We hear that Texans like to do things in a big way. So for the first Ralph's World show in Austin (Ralph has played SXSW before), the band is going to do two shows at the Austin Kiddie Limits stage as part of the Austin City Limits festival on October 3 & 4th. Other folks rockin' for the kids on that Saturday and Sunday will be Milkshake, Lunch Money, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, and Paul Green's School Of Rock. Other stages include such major acts as Pearl Jam, Andrew Bird, the Soul Stirrers, Robyn Hitchcock, Dave Matthews, Kings Of Leon, Beastie Boys, John Legend, B-52's, Sonic Youth, Lily Allen, Levon Helm, Poi Dog Pondering, The Decemberists, Ben Harper, Eek-A-Mouse, and many more....
