Last week's Steppin' Out column looked at the irrepressible Fee Waybill, lead singer of The Tubes. They'll be at the Bull Run in Shirley tonight. I'll be there checking out what promises from all accounts to be a memorable show. (Both Waybill and Bull Run management tell me that the show must be seen to believed.)
From what I understand, as of a couple of weeks ago, the show was nearly sold out. You may want to call the Bull Run before you head out to the show tonight. (They also play tomorrow night at Showcase Live at Patriot Place in Foxborough and tickets are available for that show.)
Hope to see you there!
Two weeks ago, I profiled Jimmy Tingle's show at The Bull Run (yes, we were bullish on the Bull Run for a few weeks but I promise to cover shows at other venues, including the Lowell Summer Music Series, Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, and more, in coming weeks). I also checked out the performance and he's unbelievable. A true professional in every sense of the word. He works a clean show, yet his humor is topical and top-notch. He's definitely worth checking out and he'll be at Tupelo Music Hall on Saturday night, June 20. Definitely worth it.
And, about a month ago, I advanced this past Wednesday night's Cake concert at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. I was lucky enough to speak with Vince DiFiore for the article. Neither of us could believe the band has been around since 1991. And I can't believe "The Distance" came out in 1996. I took in the show on Wednesday night and was absolutely blown away. They are so much more than a one-hit wonder. You can see where bands like My Morning Jacket came from in watching and listening to Cake. I was also surprised to see the Auditorium nearly full, considering the band hasn't charted in more than a decade. Unfortunately, they don't tour very often, but when they hit the area again, you might want to pick up a ticket. Until then, just hit iTunes and download the catalog. You won't be disappointed.
