Jim Tyrrell at Meadowbrook - 8/10/07

Post by jimtyrrell »

Hey,

I made mention of this in the daily roll call the other day, but now it's official, according to their web site...

I'm opening for 'Weird Al' Yankovic! Sort of.

I'm playing the Second Stage at Meadowbrook before and after Al's show on Friday, August 10. It's undoubtedly the biggest show I've booked. I'm obviously excited about this one because of its size, but more so because the demo I sent in was all original stuff (mostly SF songs, actually), which they liked well enough to give me the gig.

Tickets are still available. :D

Very very cool! Don't ask him for $5, that's gotten old... saw him in LA with Albatross, chainsaw jugglers opened for him, and his bassist sat in front of us, laughing at the spectacle of the thing.

Good times...

So, this is happening today. I'm as ready as I can be. Load-in/setup/soundcheck is from 2 to 4. Then something happens for a couple hours but I don't know what. Then at 6:30 the gates open and I start playing. At 8pm Weird Al takes the main stage.

I'm gonna try to get some video of my show. I'll let you know how that goes.
