John Prine will be performing at Cullen Performance Hall on the UH campus on Friday September 21st. Alejandro Escovedo will be opening the show. Tickets go on sale through TicketMaster a week from tomorrow (Friday July 20th) at 10AM. See you there!
:grin: Well, it still is a music venue...you just have to rent it out! The stage is not as deep as it used to be though. I actually played two gigs there recently...
I miss Rockefellers (and Satellite Lounge). My friend managed the box office in the mid-90's. Got to see so many great shows.
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile, It don’t cost very much, But it lasts a long while. Won’t you please tell the man, I didn’t kill anyone, I’s just tryin’ to have me some fun!
Hell....I'll play any gig as long as the money is green.....:grin: People do hire blues bands for weddings. Why they hire us I don't know, since alot of our songs are about drinking, drugs, nasty sex, heartbreak, etc. etc........
I saw Jerry Jeff Walker at Rockefellers circa 1990. Love John PRine... especially "Hello in There" and "Donald and Lydia."
Saw him in a gymnasium in Lexington Virgina somewhere around 1980 . There's not a bad song on prime prine (I especially like sam stone and the great compromise), which I had on vinyl when it was released in the late 70's. Still in my closet somewhere. You youngsters have probably never heard of him, but he is a great singer/songwriter (right up there with Dylan) and influenced many a singer out there today.
Thanks for the heads-up, brother. Didn't know about his tour, I'll have to catch the show in Corpus. If you ever want to play some blues hill country lakeside, give me a shout, I have the venue.
