Two Wednesdsays, a Monday, and a Friday....

So here's the scoop for Shannon's Irish Pub for August:

Neal plays solo on Wednesdays, August 6th & 20th, plays solo on Monday August 11th, and then does the full band show on Friday, August 15th - all at Shannon's Pub.

If this is confusing, you can always consult the events section for a clearer picture.

Due to several scheduling conflicts, the line-up for the 15th has been updated. Now joining Neal on stage that evening will still be Joe Curtis on guitar with the addition of drummer Mitch Dorge and bassist David Landreth. It's a very exciting line-up so don't miss it!

Neal's also been working on new material in the studio for the next LP. It still hasn't been decided when (or how) it will be released but, embracing the kinds of things he writes best, the working title for the project is "l'amour fou". Expect a new track soon.
