Patrice Pike Band Newsletter 2/2009

Hello Lovers of Music, Poetry and all things happenin',



It's feeling like spring down here in Austin Texas and that means sun, rain, less clothes, swimming and of course, South by south West is on it's way. Good Times. Even Bill Clinton is coming to town this weekend. Nevertheless, I'm leaving town for a few days and heading up to Oklahoma City for a sweet show in the Duo formwith my trusty guitarist Matthew Johnson. We are also playing a semi-private reservations only show West of Dallas Fort Worth for Valentine's Night $20 Dinner and Music abounds...



The following week we are playing on Wednesday and Thursday we are in Arkansas two places I love to be. Fayetteville and Little Rock are stomping grounds that are always a good time and I love my good friends out there. Ya'll come on out for the shows. Next stop for Friday and Saturday, the 20th and 21st are in Memphis for Folk Alliance conference. Songwriters from all over the world come to Memphis to play in a big melting potfor each other and fans.



I can't forget to tell you that, backing up a bit, Thursday the 12th I'll be at the Saxon Pub with my fantastic sister Joy Davis and then again on the last Thursday of the month on the 26th. Then the 27th I am at Poor David's Pub with Ginger Leigh. Matthew will be with me there too, followed by two full band shows at the Mucky Duck in Houston Texa s. Don't miss the full band. There is an dearly show and a later show, so get your reservations now for your preference!!!



March 1st, please check the Momo's website for details on a fundraiser for none other than the lovely Kate Tomich.
Kate is one of the owners of Momo's and she had reconstructive surgery on her knee recently. This show is a huge bill of great artists coming together to support Kate's recovery. We will play a short set at 7:30


March 4th I will be playing a Duo show in Kerrville Texas. I am being featured for Women's History Month at  Shriner's. More details coming up! This is a fundraiser and our furst appearance other than the folk festival in Kerrville.


We start our Wednesday's at the Mucky Duck on the 11th and then full band show at Momo's on the 13th. Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me, actually. The 14th we have the full band at Poor David's Pub.
The next week is SXSW and our official showcase is Saturday night at midnight at Momo's along with Dan Dyer and Suzanna Choffel among other great Austin artists.


We will wrap up the month with Saturday the 28th at Momo's we will debut some new songs at this show.


We are getting a lot of reqests to come out to the midwest  and west coast as well as the east coast, which is a long time coming for us. We are planning dates starting in summer for more touring outside of Texas. However, please support our Texas and nearby Texas shows as much as you can, as we are staying close by to develop the new material for the new record. If you know folks who live in places where we are playing, please spread the word and get them out to see us.
