Kasey Chambers, Australian singer-songwriter, at the Birchmere, Alexandria, VA. I had never heard of her, but a friend had a spare ticket. This gal is a great songwriter with some terrific pipes - Emmylou meets Dolly Parton meets Lucinda Williams. From what I gather, she's a superstar in Australia with a cult following here.

Just saw The English Beat at The Waiting Room in Omaha, Nebraska. I hadn't heard much from them over the last decade, but used to hear them once in a while back in the day. Much Fun! They were great and seemed to have a really good time playing for the people who showed up on a Thursday night. For those that don't know of them - mix of Ska, Reggae, Rock and a little Punk. The Waiting Room sounded pretty good for a small club. Crowd was really into the band - as much as a bunch of 60 year olds can be anymore... Opening band was The Bishops, but I missed them. Didn't get off work until 7:00 and they started at 8:00. I live 24 miles from work and about the same from Omaha - in a different direction.
Just now got an email for some kinda Steely Dan mega show thingee -

There are a couple of other interesting shows at Wolf Trap this summer. Elvis Costello (playing Imperial Bedroom) with Imelda May. Also, Lucinda Williams with Mary Chapin Carpenter. My Morning Jacket and Gary Clark, Jr. are together at Merriweather.
This is the Live Nation vs AEG cash grab. Remember Journey is a cover band, and who's going to replace Glenn Fry? So another cover band cooked up by Irving Azoff and his Evil Empire.
None of them are MY STYLE- and I prefer older Fwood Mac -
tho we did see Dukes of September a few years back and Steely Dan about a year later ...
But money grab is about right - some of the ticket prices are well over $2k ... WELL over!!
