Thanks to Deb for taking over the list, now >that Kristina is moving on. I'd like to cheer Kristina for all the time she >put in to the list for several years, getting it going and growing it. >Thanks, K! > >I wanted to give you the heads up on a couple things: >First, I'm playing in Cambridge, MA at the Middle East Downstairs on >Thursday, April 20th '00. Generally we've played quiet, seated rooms in the >Boston area, like the Somerville Theater or Club Passim. This time, the band >and I felt that it would be fun to do a standing show, where you can get a >beer and dance or whatever. We plan on having quite a lot of fun. The only >problem is that it's 18+. Sorry about that. Local rockster Megan Toohey, >who you will love, will be opening. Show time, 9PM. For more info check out >www.mideastclub.com. For info on my tours in general, you can look me up at >www.Rykodisc.com (click on "tours") or www.Musi-Cal.com. >Another newsy thing is that there's this cool MTV affiliated web radio >program I've been included in that you might enjoy. Go to >www.radio.sonicnet.com, and check out the Femme Fatales program or Neon >(which is under the pop category). I've also been doing online listening >tuning in to the City Folk show on www.wfuv.org, which is one of my favorite >radio stations in the country (based in New York City). >Finally, Rykodisc is enlisting the help of fans who might be interested in >street marketing (hanging posters etc.) in exchange for tickets to a show. >If you're interested, go to the www.rykodisc.com web site and look under >"job opportunities," or just email them at info@rykodisc.com. > >Tour Diary Section: >The 00's (ooze) have brought some new songs and some lively gigs for me and >brother James (Jimmy Ryan) and our sometimes band too. We visited the >southern US in late february, reminding us that we LOVE Eddie at Eddie's >Attic. Also, we can't believe we never went to Greenville, SC before-- the >Handlebar is such a groovy venue, we absolutely loved playing there. We >stopped in NYC to play the Bottom Line with Buddy and Julie Miller, who I >adore. Lucy Kaplansky sang with me on Falling Silent and I always love when >that happens. > >Then, we took our Dutch pop star selves to Holland to discover that, although >"What's the Matter" was on the charts for several weeks, we, well, no really, >we are Dutch pop stars-- in our minds. Actually we played to smallish >crowds in vibey Dutch bars, all around the country. Amsterdam felt more like >home. We loved the Paradiso where we played. Of course there were many >other highlights of Amsterdam, too, which we won't get in to here. Our >London, Sheffield and Dublin gigs were outrageously fun, with full houses and >lots ex-pats there supporting us. All in all, our first headlining tour in >Europe was a success, largely due to our marvelous tour manager Michael >Farady and the exposure we got in the fall when we opened for Mary Chapin >Carpenter. We love her. > >More recently, we have been playing up and down the east coast, enjoying sold >out shows at the Barns at Wolf Trap, Tin Angel, Turning Point, Iron Horse, >Kirkland Arts Center and Colby College. Also on Friday we opened for Tracy >Chapman at my alma mater, Brown University. I never spent much time in the >hockey arena when I was in school there, but I have to say, it's not a bad >place to hang out! The energy in there was great (Tracy Chapman fans from >Brown-- now that's a cool group of people to get in one room) Plus, Tracy's >new material is really beautiful. > >Anyway, when I was in Sheffield, England, some people told me they came to my >show because they heard from Lucy Kaplansky, in a letter to her chat group, >that they should come. So let me say, if you ever get a chance to see Lucy, >I feel the same way about her show. Don't miss it! Also, it got me thinking >about great concerts I've seen this year, so I thought I'd make a little >list. I'm sure I've left really cool stuff out. > >Great concerts I've seen in the 00's: >-Andy Stochanksky, Lizard Lounge, Cambridge MA 4/11/00 >-Lori McKenna (w/ Megan Toohey), Jess Klein, and Kris Delmhorst, Sanders >Theater, Cambridge MA 3/25/00 >-Buddy and Julie Miller, Johnny D's, Somerville MA 3/1/00 >-Jen Kimball, Linda Sharar, Rani Arbo, in-the-round at Folk Alliance, >Cleveland OH 2/12/00 >-John Cowan, at Folk Alliance, Cleveland OH 2/12/00 >-Orchestra Morphine, Somerville Theater, Somerville MA 2/6/00 >-Faith Soloway, (her own set and rock opera), 1/28/00 >-Vinal Ave String Band, Tir Na Nog, Somerville MA, many monday nights… > >And back in '99 >-Mary Gauthier at State Street Church in Portland ME >-Ani Difranco at the Fleet Center in Boston MA >-Bruce Springsteen at the Fleet Center in Boston MA >-Jimmy Ryan and Mark Sandman (Pale Brothers) at the Lizard Lounge in >Cambridge MA >-Jimmy Ryan and Wooden Leg at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge MA > > >Thanks for being music lovers and making the world go around. >yeah, >catie curtis > ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 16:02:22 EDT From: Mail2masa@aol.com Subject: [dads-yard] New addition to Catie's Tour Schedule Tue 07/18/00 Roseburg, OR Stewart Park Wed 07/19/00 Seattle, WA Woodland Park Zoo Fri 07/21/00 Portland, OR Oregon Zoo Amphitheatre ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V2 #14 ******************************
