Early warning for a few concerts!

    A few concerts of note I wanted to tell you about:

    March 31, Friday
    Vance Gilbert, Grateful Bread, 8 pm, $8     One of the few African-Americans in the folk circuit, and he is one damn fine performer. Besides being an excellent songwriter, he's hysterically funny. "Country-Western Rap" is hilarious.

    April 15, Saturday
    The Fruitcake Follies, Benaroya Recital Hall, 8 pm, various prices     Join SMC in what was previously the "No-Talent Show." I will be performing several numbers with the new sub-group of the chorus (tentatively named "Polite Society" or "Captain Smartypants") in what promises to be a fun evening of comedy. High on the camp factor, so be warned, this is NOT for kids!

    April 21, Friday
    The Four Bitchin' Babes, Kirkland Performing Arts Center, 8 pm, $TBA     Hey, it's the babes! What's not to like? Debi Smith (who plays a wicked bodhran), Sally Fingerett, Megon McDonough and Camille West. If you miss this, you'll be sorry.

    April 22, Saturday
    Greg Greenway, Grateful Bread, 8 pm, $8     An excellent singer-songwriter. His latest album, "Mussolini's Head" is one of the better folk albums I've heard in a while, especially the song "Driving." http://www.greggreenway.com
