and for that Jay Farrar show

Jay will be accompanied by Mark Spencer (Blood Oranges), Anders Parker (Varnaline) & Judd Ehrbar (Varnaline) | Anders Parker opens

Actually it's Anders Osborne opening for Jay, not Anders Parker.

That sounds correct, I just forgot his last name, he opened for him when he played at the Birchmere, wasnt bad.

I actually just copied and pasted this from www.jayfarrar.net.

Actually twangirl, I am almost sure it is Anders Parker, since he played with him last time and is also the leas singer of Varnaline. Anders Osborne is different

fight fight fight

yikes did you get a load of the ticket prices for those show?

$40 - Dave Gahan
$20 - The Smithereens
$17.50 - The Circle Jerks and G.B.H.

Gahan will sellout, The Smithereens are a band I love dearly but their recent stuff is lacking and twenty smackers is a bit dear. I know lots of old school punkers may still dig The Circle Jerks but how about the kids. And what exactly did G.B.H. contribute besides "City Baby attacked by rats". I'm also guessing both these bands are on the umpteeth replacement member.

Will the Farrar show sellout? Would love to hold off on buying tickets till I'm at the club, which won't be for a couple of weeks.

Can't remember if he sold out the birchmere last year or not, if not, it was close.

I am aware of both Anderses, and am a long-time Varnaline fan. But, Jay Farrar's agent has advised us that Anders Osborne is the support act. It's possible he may be mistaken, but not likely.

Well something is strange then because :

Hmmm.I will check this out.
Too bad Eric Heywood isn't on the east coast dates!

Yep, we were given incorrect info. Agent had a brain fart. It is Anders Parker opening for Jay Farrar. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Jadetree!

No problem, thanks for looking into it, any way you can convince him that they need to have Tim Easton open on the east coast as well, and might as well get them to bring Heywood. ;)

cut and paste from the blackcat site…..

SAT AUG 2- RHETT MILLER (early show) $12 mainstage 7:00

FRI AUG 8 - THE WALKMEN, FRENCH KICKS $10 Mainstage 9:30

Boy, Rhett sure gets around doesn't he? Shouldn't he be home caring for his pregnant wife?

He's also playing for free at the Kennedy Center June 29, and we'll also catch him at Bumbershoot in Seattle on August 31.

June 29th, is a Sunday…. what time is the show again, I forget….

Will you drive there?

No doubt we will walk there rather than drive…or take the Metro to Foggy Bottom and walk from there. No doubt we will get there plenty early.

All Millenium Stage shows start at 6 PM sharp, and apparently Rhett is opening (which is actually a good thing, because then we can get up and leave during Nickel Creek if they suck)


Nickel Creek, a bluegrass revival trio, has been touring for more than a decade, bringing contemporary flair to traditional rhythms. Rhett Miller, lead singer of the Old 97â??s, opens with a solo performance that folds upbeat pop rock into â??alternativeâ? country tunes.
