Just a reminder that crooner extraordinaire Richard Hawley is playing Bowery Ballroom on Saturday and there are still tickets available. His show at Sin-e last year was one of my favorites of 2005. But if you can’t make it Saturday, you’ve got a second chance. He’s playing an acoustic in-store at Other Music on Monday at 8pm. I’m hoping at one of these two shows he’ll do "Long Black Train."
The Bowery show is the kickoff date on Hawley’s first-ever solo US tour. Here are all the dates:
Dec 1 Bowery Ballroom NYC
Dec 2 World Café Live Philadelphia
Dec 4 TT the Bear’s Cambridge, MA
Dec 5 Horseshoe Tavern Toronto
Dec 6 The Abbey Chicago
Dec 7 400 Bar Minneapolis
Dec 10 Crocodile Café Seattle
Dec 12 Café du Nord San Francisco
Dec 13 Troubadour Los Angeles
And not to make this too much like a Brooklyn Vegan post but, actually, Other Music has a slew of great in-stores coming up…
The Clean – Tuesday, November 27 @ 8PM
Tinariwen – Wednesday, November 28 @ 8PM

No shows in Michigan – I searched stubhub and other places for his concert tickets but came up empty.
