Seasons Greetings from Donovan & Blue Meridian....
Tomorrow night, Wed the 9th, I'm performing for FREE at Cafe Cordiale, Sherman Oaks and I'm going to give away a FREE dinner to whomever wins the "Omigawd, I haven't seen you at a gig since Clinton was in office" ,...Awa...rd.
(more details on the show, below).
Then I'm off to NYC on Friday (who can drop me at LAX at 10:15am?, seriously). Doing shows at the Recoup Lounge & Arlene's Grocery (no, it's not an actual grocery store). I'm then back in LA for a few days before shipping off to Orlando for a show on the 23rd. In the week between Christmas and New Years, I'll be trekking across our great nation and making a few musical stops along the way. Hoping to set up shows in New Orleans on the 27th & Austin, the 28th (this was a last minute notion). Phoenix on the 29th is already solid. Details on all these shows at the bottom of this mailing.
Any Los Angelinos looking for something juicy to do on New Years Eve? I'm hosting a concert at TRIP in Santa Monica. Five awesome bands playing (I'll post their links at the bottom too). Admission is just $15 in advance. Super cool dive bar, away from all the mayhem. If you'd like to spend your NYE w/ me and enjoy some melodic fun, reply to this email for more info (or maybe I'll just put the details at the bottom :)
It's been an honor knowing and performing for you in 2009. 2010 brings another tour of the United Kingdom & the release of Skint & Shattered, Blue Meridian's 6th full length album.
