We will be opening for, and then backing up Gary Louris at the Dakota Monday and Tuesday 4/29 and 4/30. Kind of a last minute thing but this will be fun, lots of old pals and guests etc. www.dakotacooks.com for tickets or call 612-332-1010

Me and Andy Dee will open the show, I guess the opener they were going to bring couldn't get his work visa in time. Once again, the post 9/11 mentality works in my favor!

Just got a call to do a little 15 minute solo acoustic set opening for Styx and REO Speedwagon this Friday (April 19) at the Target Center. This is rare for me but.... I'm speechless. First concert I ever saw in my life was Styx (opening for the Average White Band and the Guess Who) in about 1974 so this is full circle yo. Not sure who's idea it was to call me for this but it reminds me of the time someone booked the Replacements to play a dance at the rehab place I was in.
