Justin Townes Earle is one tall drink of water. I was really surprised when I met him at SxSW. He’s got to be 6′4″. That’s like 11 feet tall in the indie music world.
Anyhoo, JTE will be at The Independent tonight in San Francisco opening for Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit. I’ll be running around there with Mrs. Oz. If you ain’t got shit to do, you should join us.
I’m getting out of the house this weekend and heading up to San Francisco for some jazz, blues, roots and good ole fashioned American rock music. We talked about The Moondoggies and their phenomenal album Don’t Be A Stranger not too long ago. Since then I’ve read nothing but good things about the Seattle band’s live shows. I’ll be a witness firsthand on Saturday night as the boys share the Slim’s stage with Doug Ellington (grand-nephew of Duke), The Stone Foxes, and Bhi Bhiman.
Any San Franciscan readers going? If so, let’s grab a cold one.
