Cloaca Melodia

Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis, MN .... This show was part of the PRPD (Public Radio Program Director) Conference I attended. Son Volt was good, as always. Thile did a fine job and it's always fun to see him work that mandolin. Chastity Brown didn't make much of an impression.     Son Volt   Son Volt setlist : The 99 The Reason While Rome Burns Cherokee St. Sinking Down Union Back Against the Wall Windfall Jammin' Me

WYEP Community Broadcast Center, Pittsburgh, PA An interview and in-studio performance. Hear the whole thing (in RealAudio).

Fox Theater, Boulder, CO..... This was a showcase performance for a radio convention. I think Nickel Creek was still trying to break through with their 2002 album This Side .  It was cool to see Jonny Lang playing the blues. Howie Day didn't leave much of an impression.    There was a bar right next to the Fox Theater called Tulagi, and for these radio convention showcase performances, conference attendees could go back and forth between venue to see the artists performing at each with staggered set times. Here's was at Tulagi this night .
