| Tonight I hope you'll help me get in shape to head across country to do some musical stumping for the "good guys". I'll be the feature artist tonight for a 9:00pm show at: DUBLIN's SQUARE in the famous Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego.
Join me for a set of my musical "Rants" and unique protest rock, unplugged this time, as I hit the stage for the first time since the disappointments of Camp Democracy in DC earlier this year. Since I'll be on the road for my birthday, hell, let's call it a Birthday Protest Party!
Cathryn Beeks (as in the Ordeal with a hot new CD "Desert Music" now being played on FM 94.1) hosts a night of singer/songwriter sets. My featured set will be roughly 9:00pm, but come for a full night of music. Maybe Cathryn will join me for a good ol’ fashion protest song ?
