Whatcha doin' Wednesday?

Nothing? I figured.

Something? Even so, drop your plans and come out to the Parkside Lounge where a lovely show shall ensue!

8:30: I'll be playing with the Scurvy Merchants. No new songs this time around (I've got a couple in the hopper for next time), but we have dusted off two oldies, and I have a new pair of pants!

9:15: Tom Warnick and The World's Fair. These guys (including Ross, Sharples, and Dave Dorbin) are on a roll...the last few times I've seen them they have been in crispy, top form.

The first time I laid eyes on Tom, he was performing a song at the Monday night Antihoot at the Sidewalk Cafe, back in the, whoa, '90s:

Burnin' up
burnin' up burnin' up
burnin' up
and all the fire trucks
in the world won't help!

I thought to myself--there's a guy who values absurd hyperbole as much as I do, and sure enough we became friends.

10:00: Erica Smith and the 99 Cent Dreams. Rumor has it that the set will be jazz-oriented, and there may be black turtlenecks involved.

Erica's originals and cover choices are always top-notch, her voice is beautiful, and her band is basically Love Camp 7 plus man-about-town Alan Young on bass.

10:45: John Sharples's Homicide Holiday Party. Sharples is a charismatic front man and connoisseur of covers (he does stuff by obscure bands like the �Beatles� as well as by local geniuses like Dan Kilian) and his band includes the best rhythm section (Andy & Joe) and guitarist (Ross) in New York.
