I’m a bit disappointed, but the show that I was supposed to tonight, Tuesday January 12, play at the Empyrean Coffee House in Spokane, Wa got, canceled.

The Pioneers of Prime Time TV and Courtney Marie Andrews were on their west coast tour, dubbed the “Famous Toxic Cancelled Tour” by Thomas, and they were supposed to roll into town here and we’d get our jam on.

I have a couple of new songs up my sleeve, and I’d probably have had Thomas and Jon accompany me a bit, since they’re awesome like that. Thomas and I go way back, and he’s like 1000% better than I am, so he could play what I was going to play probably better than I could, even without hearing it. And Thomas says that Jon is 1000% better than him, so who am I to argue.

But, as these things happen, the Empyrean couldn’t get its new location opened in time to play there as scheduled. (The irony is that they’re set to open the day after, on Wednesday.)

Given the long drive, they decided to find another gig in Seattle instead of driving across to Spokane, which leaves me out of the loop.

Oh, poo.

Anyway, here is a taste of what they would have sounded like:

p.s.
Look at that weirdness: Jefferson Elliot painting on stage with the Pioneers. Way to go Jefferson!
