Dates, Dates & More Dates …

Our tour date researchers were working double-time today, pounding the pavement and uncovering one new date after another. Here’s a brief overview of what went down in the processing pits.

We added several new concert listings for Anthony Gomes starting in November and running through February ’08; New dates for Confederate Railroad include December, January and February gigs and Eric Sardinas will appear throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest during November and December.

Johnny Winter looks ahead to February and March 2008 with shows in Rochester, NY, Seattle, Spokane and Missoula; Michelle Shocked in Nashville, TN, and Cambridge, MA, and The Subdudes play Tampa and Orlando in January.

Silversun Pickups take their music to Charlotte, NC, and Mesa, AZ, in December; We added three new listings for The Bellamy Brothers and look for Tom Rush in Colorado and New Hampshire.

Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band swaggers through SC, TN, NY, PA, WV, Al, MS, FL and NC in October, November and December; Zelazowa plays the Dakotas and Nebraska and Pam Tillis adds Craven, SK, and Schaefferstown, PA, to her 2008 summer schedule.

In case you missed it, earlier today we highlighted new dates for Stevie Wonder, Phil Vassar, OTEP, Nellie McKay, Neil Young, Lee Evans and Alabama Thunderpussy.

And that’s it until tomorrow. Be careful out there.
