Short FW acoustic set during the Oasis Open Mic on Sunday, Nov. 1, probably @ 8-9ish. After that I'll play a few covers on guitar, with Justin on some hand percussion. All ages. Open Mic runs from 7pm til roughly midnight.

New FW bassist Drew deWaard will NOT be appearing... but he'll be all learned-up and playin shows... soon. News coming on that within a few days, hopefully...

Here's a video from my first live set ever (10/25): http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=163739169386&ref=mf

IF YOU CAN SING AND PLAY SONGS, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY COME OUT AND PERFORM... MUSIC IS MEANT TO BE SHARED!

Either way, come to relax and take in some local tunes.
NOTE: Oasis requires you spend a minimum of $7 at the cafe. There is no cover, but you will have to spend at least $7 (food/drinks/hookahs). Just a heads-up. Better than just paying a cover, right? And smoking is allowed inside.

Mr Potts, I went on a show binge recently which included 7 shows in 31 days. Of those I would pick the 2-night stand at Schuba's where Hockey opened up for Portugal. The Man. Phish up in Madison, WI 1998 is another standout, Tool @ Lolla this year, Kings of Leon Halloween '08 @ The Aragon and Umphreys McGee NYE '07 @ The Aragon are also on the list. Dr. Dog @ The Double Door this past year was also a great show. Too many to pick...

Oh and smoking is allowed inside Oasis. And on Open Mic nights they have specials on food, beer, and hookahs.

Also, just for fun, drummer Jeff Goluszka will take a slot to sing a few cover songs and play guitar. It will be his first-ever public performance.

After a lot of careful thought, Liam has decided to move on from the band. For 5 years, Liam has been an amazing bassist and bandmate ... and for the last 15 years, he has been a great friend...
