SPECIAL HOMETOWN APPEARANCE AT JAMMIN' JAVA in Vienna, Virginia Wednesday, March 9 (2 Shows) One of our favorite additions to the Northern Virginia live music scene has been Vienna's Jammin Java. Not only have they served as the "go-to" venue for our own Robbie Schaefer and his solo shows, they have also been the premier showcase stop for many of our national touring contemporaries. What Jammin' Java has provided has been what our area has desperately needed for years: a 150-200 capacity seated/listening venue for the singer-songwriter scene. In addition to nurturing fertile local talent (with their open mic nights), they also feature many of our fellow performing friends like Ellis Paul, Mark Erelli, Stephen Kellogg, The Kennedys, Vance Gilbert, Christine Kane, Fred Eaglesmith, Eliza Gilkyson, Tracy Grammer, Dan Bern, Jeff Lang to name a few (and almost nightly!). Any Northern Virginian knows the staggering cost of living and real estate in the area. The challenges that face the small business owners in our high rent region can be overwhelming. The wonderful Brindley family who took on JJ three years ago have done a miraculous job resurrecting a near-collapsed operation. We can't think of many folks who have worked as hard as they have to support our live music scene, but some recent unexpected expenses have proven almost insurmountable. We want to keep Java Jammin, and invite you to join us for a special intimate EFO show at this wonderful venue on March 9. There will be two shows (7PM and 9:30PM), and all proceeds will go to help the good folks at Jammin Java. Advance tickets are strongly recommended. Call Jammin Java at 703-255-1566. Joining us will be our good friend, Ellis Paul. http://www.jamminjava.com 2. FIRST HOUSTON SHOW SOLD OUT - SECOND SHOW ADDED AT 10PM The first show scheduled this Friday at the Mucky Duck in Houston (7:30) is sold out. However, a second show has been added (10PM), and tickets are still available. Details are below. 3. AMES, IOWA DATE IS SOLD OUT!
