Hey folks! My Mom (Glenna) is coming to Bellingham this week to celebrate my 28th birthday and my 3 year anniversary of surviving cancer. I set up a string of shows so that she could see all my projects in the short time she's here. Here's your opportunity to Luke O.D. over the span of five days, meet my mom and stepdad and to see some of my music before my degenerating right arm forces me to become a stand up comedian in replacement of my music career. Also, a filmaker friend from San Francisco who teaches film at SFU is coming up to do a bunch of filming of the shows. So come on out and mug for the camera! Glennafest begins on Friday the 27 of January. *Friday January 27-THE TANGLERS (accordion banjo sweet minor songs from the nether regions) at the Green Frog on State Street. Free! *Saturday January 28-HICKS MACHINE, SWEATY SWEATER, and JILL BRAZILl at Chirribins on Magnolia. Only $5. *Sunday January 29-My monthly SQUARE DANCE at the Fairhaven Firehouse. 6-8pm. No experience necessary, all dances will be taught. Live old time band. All for only $3. *Monday January 30-THE GALLUS BROTHERS get you dancing and then we'll get up and do some of our crazy vaudeville style tricks and comedic dance routines. Free! *Wednessday February 1-THE BRENT COALMINERS play our own brand of doesn't-suck bluegrass at Boundary Bay. Free! Come out and wish me a happy birthday. *Thursday-momfest ends. I sleep for a week while painfully clutching my tumor, sore from overuse of my right arm. Thanks everybody, come on out to a show if you like and spread the word if you can please. I look forward to seeing you. Lucas
