Mike Roe "John The Baptist" tour 2008 |
 |
Lo-Fidelity Presents:
Michael Roe - The "John The Baptist" tour, 2008. Please join us as "Mike tours to prepare the way for the 77's..."
We are happy to announce that Mike will make a brief solo return to the road, playing both acoustic and electric, to debut material from the soon to be released new 77's recording featuring their take on some very elderly (and recent) obscure (and familiar) American blues/gospel/bluegrass tunes. Mike had this to say about the tour:
"I am excited to try and play as much of the new album as I can so folks can get an idea of the kinds of songs we did and how we did 'em. Since everyone has been waiting for two years to hear this, hopefully my little recital will be a fun appetizer while we're all waiting for the main course. Mmmmmmm......such a tasty treat!"
Here are the dates:

Is Mike going to be able to find enough locusts and honey in Illinoise, or should we send care packages?

What brought John the Baptist into the matter, or is that a legal question?
btw--brownies ship pretty well, if you pack them right.

Idaho, like Nebraska, is too underpopulated for a Doctor show. We must hang black crepe on the day that the tour comes closest while still being out of reach--and send brownies.

I don't know that they are too "underpopulated"....we just need someone to take the initiative to book a show. I realize this isn't possible for everyone, but if anyone has interest, drop a line...

Doc, should we begin praying that no new Salome require your head after an enticing tango on the Dancin with the Stars finale?
btw no ascetic diet that I know of includes brownies. Maybe this should be the "Gabriel tour." According to Travolta angels may have brownies and beer (and even say "****tard).

Thats too bad. When you say "nobody from here would talk to me"....are you talking about fans....or people that run venues and such?
