November 1, Make-Out Room, 8PM

Me and Gayle unite to fight bad deed do-ers, but we can’t prevail without YOU! The Incredible Corey and Wonder Man Tom Drohan join us in the battle, but without you it will be a big ol’ steaming plate of Kryptonite.

Okay, the facts. Sunday, Nov. 1, 8:00 PM The Makeout Room. I know, it’s sunday and all that, but it’s early and life is short! It’s a whole new show, new songs, new arrangements and it’s gonna be a lot of fun, I GUARANTEE!!

And…after us is the great Brittany Shane. She is a star in the making, is all over KFOG and the is heard on TV shows. She is doing this gig as a favor to me, bringing in her stellar band from Marin. She sold out the DuNord a month ago, and this is her last show before her winter tour,

And more….the topper of the evening is Vandella, a new band that sounds like an old band. They are both fun and atmospheric, Americana and pop all sang and played beautifully.

Okay, maybe I’m not good enough for this bill, but hey, they are my friends and are tossing me favor.

Me and Gayle start AT 8:00. I wanna get this one in on time as much as I possibly can. We play for 45 minutes. Please come down and have a laugh and a and a dance with us!

GAYLE AND MISISIPI MIKE w. Brittany Shane and Vandella

Denise, Gayle, Misisipi and Maurice

You got me and Maurice and Gayle and Denise. We’re playing brand new songs and old favorites, playing on each others tunes, singing harmony and the whole bit. Mike Anderson is playing that big bass of his. You are enjoying a glass of wine, a pint of beer, perhaps a can of red bull (ok, maybe not), sitting in the comfortable Parisian atmosphere of the Cafe Royale. It’s Greenwich Village, 1962, Laurel Canyon, 1971….no….it’s San Francisco 2009.

More precisely…
it’s-
THE 2009 SONGWRITER SUMMIT

Introducin’ Mission Three

Cree Rider, Misisipi Mike, and a wicked washboarder named Jimmy Sweetwater have joined forces to form “Mission Three.” It is getting real good real fast. We’re a roll-n-rock trio, just a fun time footstomp boogie woog. We’re playing the cafe circuit (Revolution, Mojo Bicycle Cafe, Amnesia, etc) in preparation for our Northwest tour in late August. I’m digging it.

Misisipi Rider celebrates YARD SALE!

Hey everyone!
A free show Saturday night. What else is better? Nuttin….

Yard Sale is having their cd release Saturday at Cafe Royale at in the Tendernob, and Misisipi Rider is gonna be the opener! This time out it’ll just be me and Cree (and we have Jimmy Sweetwater sitting in to distract you from our Katy and Douglessness).

Yard Sale are the best best best. Jill, Mel, and Denise are stars in their own right but together they are the whole dang Milky Way. They write and sing the neato tunes your ear longs for, some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. I could go on and on about the famous people they remind me of, but that would be boring, and who needs famous people when we have top quality singing to us for free on a Saturday night?

Misisipi Rider/YARD SALE CD RELEASE!
Saturday July 11 8:30 sharp
800 Post at Leavenworth
admission is free for you!
