Dates, Dates & More Dates ...
Today was a great day for new tour dates. We started with Euro dates for Smashing Pumpkins, added several new shows for Rascal Flatts, tossed in the Boyzone reunion tour and then we loaded the database with new shows for Josh Grider, Kansas, John Gorka, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Little Big Town and Bearfoot.
And then we got busy.
Throughout the day it was update after update. New dates for Anthony Gomes, Jethro Tull, B.J. Thomas, Anita Baker, Against Me!, just to drop a few names. The trucks kept pulling up to the loading dock, dumping itinerary after itinerary into our greedy little laps.
So it's a laundry list today, but it's a good laundry list. An updated schedules list featuring bands and aritsts like B.B. King, Bad Manners, Average White Band, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Del Castillo, Don Rickles, Eileen Ivers, Emmylou Harris, Etta James & The Roots Band, Evans Blue, Exile, Fiction Plane, Hothouse Flowers, Indigo Girls, Janis Ian, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, KISS, Little Big Town, The Fiery Furnaces, Tower Of Power, Vonda Shepard, Williams & Ree plus more acts than the RIAA has lawyers.
And now it's time to call it a day. Hmmm … How does "Zelda" sound to you? See ya!
