Hi, Attention anyone and everyone within reach of Bridgeport, Connecticut: Trina Hamlin and Rachael Sage are doing a co-bill at the Acoustic Cafe tomorrow (Thursday), April 11 at 8 pm. The tickets are only $8. I spoke with Rich Franzino, the Cafe's owner today and he said he has sold close to 0 tickets so far, which is distressing. A bit of ectofest redux is about to happen here, people ... get your butts over to Bridgeport tomorrow night! (Trina's and Rachael's sets were both sublime last year, especially when Trina played on Rachael's songs.) Complete information, including directions can be found at http://www.acousticafe.com . If anyone would like to come by train from NYC, woj and I can pick at least two people up at the Fairfield stop. Just contact either of us to make a plan.
