Quick Hits

The Kentucky Waterfalls will be saying goodbye to the Madison country scene come July. There are still a handful of opportunities to say goodbye to Katie and Evan. The country music scene just got a lot less sweeter.

On March 18th in Lacrosse and on March 24th in Joliet, IL, Madison's own Whitney Mann will be opening for Willie Nelson. Hot damn, this is great news! Whitney has worked her tail off and this opportunity will take her far.

Earl Foss' Brown Derby is back at the Crystal Corner on Wednesday nights. Snow is melting, Madison is springing life from her bosom, and The Derb' is back. Life is good. Ghost Town Council and The Derb' will be playing together on March 31st at the aforementioned Corner of Crystal. As always, no cover and lots of fun.


Get out there and enjoy some music (country or otherwise).

Ghost Town Council Rides Again (for the first time, and soon to be second time)

Thanks to all that made it out to EVP on Saturday. We had an amazing time and never could have dreamed that it would go as well as it did. There's pics and a video available on our myspace page seen Here.

Now onto new business. Ghost Town Council got word today that our Second show will be at the High Noon Saloon (THE High Noon Saloon) on December 4th, opening for Nationally Renowned act Split Lip Rayfield! I don't know (or care) how it all happened, but we are just amazed at this opportunity. So come out and see Split Lip Rayfield and Ghost Town Council on December 4th at the High Noon!

Update from the High Noon Website:
When Split Lip Rayfield guitarist Kirk Rundstrom died after a long bout with cancer in 2007, legions of fans and friends were filled with sorrow. Then the boys decided that the best way to honor Kirk would be to keep on playing, and now they've released "I'll Be Around," their fifth full-length record. "The fearsome foursome of Split Lip combines a traditional bluegrass sound with the blazing speed and energy of punk rock, and in the process manages to improve on the formula." --(Tucson Weekly) Also playing: Ghost Town Council will open the show with an expressive, heartland country-rock sound.

Big Week!

This Saturday November, 22nd at the Crystal Corner Jim James and The Damn Shames do a Hank Williams (Jr. Sr. and III) tribute set, Danny Paris and The Shiners do a Buck Owens tribute set, and The Brown Derby does a George Jones tribute set. It's going to be absolutely huge...But I won't be there. Instead, my band Ghost Town Council will have our first show at EVP West! Show starts at 7 and some beer will be available. So east, west, no excuses. Get out and see some live music this weekend. And now some indulgent Concert posters for my show. Special Thanks to Juliette, and Lisa! They are early favorites for a Madi next year in the category of poster design.
