So Much To Do, So Little Time

Tonite, Knoxville has all kinds of shows for everyone. First, Georgian guitarist Leo Kottke brings his unique style of finger picking to the Bijou Theatre. Kottke is considered a master of craft and one of the most renowned players in the world. Making it even more impressive is Leo's bout with tendon damage to his right hand and a partial loss of hearing. His mixture of blues, folk, and jazz has garnered him quite a following and since the late 70s he has teamed up with artists as diverse as Jack Nitzsche and Mike Gordon. The show starts at 8p and is gonna set you back $25.00 plus fees.

A couple blocks down, on Market Square, 90s rockers Better Than Ezra are headlining this week's Sundown in the City. Based out of New Orleans, BTE was formed in 1988. After releasing a few demos and an EP on their own label, the Louisianans eventually caught the attention of Elektra Records who signed them and released their debut album Deluxe and the single "Good" which would go on to take the number one spot on Billboard charts. Knoxville Ezralites should be ready for a rowdy show tonite as locals Johnny Astro and the Big Bang are opening up.

Everyone have a good time tonite and make sure to stay safe. Also, after Sundown, one of the best new bands in Knox, Sons of the Southside, are playing at Preservation Pub, so make sure to show the boys some love. On another note, this is my 100th post and I just want to say thanks to everyone for reading! Here's to a hundred more....
