I just noticed that the Proclaimers are going to be at the Birchmere later in the month (27th) and my current favourites (Old Blind Dogs) will be there in September with Teada and Cara.

Any other musicians on their schedule that my readers would recommend? I seem to think I've heard good things about Janis Ian. I seem to recall enjoying Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy when friends played them for me, but I'm not sure that they're enough my cup of tea to lay out the money for tickets.

I'm sure you saw Old Blind Dogs on the list, so nothing need be said about that.

If you like good guitar, don't miss Leo Kottke. He's awesome recorded, and he's supposed to be spectacular live. Also, if you like bluegrass, the Seldom Scene are awesome. I heard about them because I went to middle school with the banjo player's son, andwent to see them a bunch of times before I moved to Boston. And even without John Duffy, they're supposed to be fabulous.

Don't know how you feel about Jerry Jeff Walker, but my dad loves him. For what that's worth :)

Old Blind Dogs is another one of my favorites. I didn't see anyone else on their list that I fancy, but Colbie Callait and I bet she's not your "type" of music ... LOL

I saw them in 2005(?) here in Little Rock and they were FABULOUS! I bought their CD on the spot and have nearly worn it out! lol
