and Austin Script Works (ASW).
As part of a national conference, four teams each consisting of a local
playwright, a local musician and a national dramaturg were commissioned
to explore the process of live storytelling culminating with a 15-minute
stage performance. I was teamed with Dan Dietz (playwright) and D.J.
Hopkins (dramaturg).
SUNDAY, JUNE 5—The Knitting
Factory • New York City, NY
This was a last minute fill-in gig for an artist
who could not do the show. It was in the Tap Bar with Battlestar America,
Stop & Listen Boys & Booglerizers.
Very
few in-town shows happened but, for most of the year (Feb-Nov), there
was the Tuesday
evening happy hour show at Beerland
• Austin, TX
It was a heckling, good time with my friend Charlie
of "Holy Happy Hour" fame. We started doing this show just
after the first of the year and kept doing til it got a bit impractical
for both our schedules.
A quick recap of 2004...
December
18— Artists Coop Benefit • Austin, TX
This was a show that featured art by death row
inmates. I shared a bill with Mr. Scott H. Biram.
November
6-7— Austin Celtic Festival • Austin, TX
There was almost a revival of DeLorean Mechanics
at this one but, alas, no. Instead, it was the Spot / Albert duo but
this time we had Tom ex-Mechanic bassist sitting in with us on a few
tunes. Great fun! Too bad a bass string broke (unthinkable!) at the
beginning of the first day's set.
September
10-12— CelticFest • Jackson, MS
Another great, fun festival with Spot & Albert,
the duo!

August
5 — Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse • Austin, TX
Another sundown show under
the big oak tree at my favorite coffeehouse.
July
25— Beerland • Austin, TX
A last minute benefit for
a good friend caught in a bad motorcycle accident.
July
1— Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse • Austin, TX
Ralph White showed up and
we played some great tenor banjo and fiddle duets.
June
22— Church of the Friendly Ghost • Austin, TX
A great performance space that used to be a neighborhood church/meeting
hall. I shared the bill with Ralph
White,
the ex-Bad Liver; Walter Daniels, the harmonica/reed man/Eugene Chadbourne
sideman; and John Wesley Coleman III. It was great
to not have to play the "hits" at this show. Just the subtle,
serious compositional pieces. Hooray!
June
14— Fiesta Gardens • Austin, TX
This was the Tenth Anniversary Party for Lovejoy's Taproom (where I
work). Ten more years? Sure, why not?
May
28— Whisky Dix • Lubbock, TX
A great show up in the flatlands! This gig was
courtesy of a fan who saw me open for Mike
Watt in 2002 (on the "Our Oars Became Wings" tour) and
convinced me to go back up there and do another show. Definitely a fun
time!
May
2— Tacoland • San Antonio, TX
A shared bill with Eugene Chadbourne at the nondescript but legendary
bar under the big gnarled oak tree on the river bank.
March
18—Lovejoy's • Austin, TX
An afternoon show during the debacle that is SXSW.
But, since this had nothing to do with the festival itself, it was a
damn fine time playing on a bill with Shandom Sahm (Doug's kid), the
rock & roll animal.
March
10—Flipnotics • Austin, TX
A double bill with SPOT and Freddy "Steady"
Krc. For those who don't know, Freddy once drummed for Mr. Roky Erickson
and there's a reason folks call him Freddy Steady. This was one of those
"get on stage together and wing it" kinda gigs doing original
material and remembering all kindsa songs from the past that hadn't
been thought about in years. Damn, a fun show!!
And the latter part of 2003...
