We are sitting in Dundalk after last night’s sold out show at the Spirit Store. Garry is having a ball here in Ireland! Tonight we play Dublin in Whelans and then Sunday in Limerick concludes our Irish leg of the tour……….then back to the UK.
Get on the blower and send your friends!

The tour officially starts in a few hours……I should be sleeping. I shared some thoughts on Facebook about the Manchester travesty, and thought I would share it here before the tour starts………I hope to see you at one of the shows…….this is a great group of people.
So here goes………

He is bringing an amazing band from the US featuring Fats Kaplin (Jack White), Americana Queen Kristi Rose, Eddie Angel and Jimmy Lester from the Grammy Award winning band Los Straightjackets, rounded out by Johnny MacKinnon from the Roadtrippers days, and Etienne Girard.
The guy hasn’t missed a show with Springsteen in 40 years! Let’s support him! Please spread the news. Grab your tickets directly from Oran Mor or here.
“Stay Away” from Garry’s new cd………

As of today it is two weeks until Garry Tallent and his band play The Cluny in Newcastle. I think tonight they are playing the Stone Pony, and as a 40 year member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band i’m sure it is a high point.
Garry is bringing quite a lineup to the Cluny and beyond………Eddie Angel and Jimmy Lester from the Grammy Award winning band Los Straightjackets, Fats Kaplin (Jack White, Beck, Trisha Yearwood, Nanci Griffith), Americana sensation Kristi Rose, and the rest of the lineup rounded out with Johnny MacKinnon from my band the Roadtrippers, and Liverpudlian Etienne Gerrard playing bass for the baseman.
I’ll be opening the show and herding cats. It is a great honor for me personally to bring such a legend and gentleman to Newcastle—-a place that has shown me a lot of love through the years. Garry and I have been friends for 25 years and recently started working on a record together to honor my father. Garry is a huge Buddy Holly fan, and his enthusiasm runs to the early “Buddy and Bob” days as well, so it all made sense.
Anyway, the tickets are selling fast and there are only 20 or so left, so grab your tickets to the show at The Cluny in Newcastle today!
I love this song from Garry’s new cd………

And if you have no clue who I am and found yourself reading this……here is “Some Comfort” from my most recent cd………..
