SUNDAY, MARCH 24 TWO PM AT LYTTON PLAZA BY EARTHWISE
This will be the first announced show of our preseason spring outdoors preseason; this is matt’s fourth concert and fourth different venue with Earthwise here; he previously played at Johnson Park, Mitchell Park outdoors, and Cubberley H-1.
Please count down with us the next 169 hours until matt’s triumphant and glorious and seafaring or water-referencing conquest of the plaza. Aw shoot: oceans!
He will play one long set with no opener. Call it “afternoon with…” but if the weather is nice and you are nearby, see if anything else is happening interesting at the plaza this week; just yesterday I saw a group of college kids featuring members of Good Fast Cheap, but not Good Fast Cheap they did a great version of “Franklin Tower” instrumental . Then there were some eastern religious type people pushing the limits of the first amendment and proselytizing . Today There was a group of people doing a social experiment in conjunction with a local therapist; I met three people; the last of whom rejected me as a participant based on my -I’m just guessing -awareness of the game. Apparently you can only help two different people with their social anxiety —that’s called the observer effect; that’s what you get from a concert promoter on St. Patrick’s Day wearing a dartmouth sweatshirt and fur-lined psychedelic crocs.
anyhow, you could also check out matt’s new record to help Wael or idol those 169 hours and Or see him at a concert in Piedmont with KC not Frank Turner or somewhere in Boulder Creek but not Felton at a tattoo parlor I think they said, or Folsom which I think is near Sacramento, maybe he will be doing a special Johnny Cash set. I made matt do some reggae thing and he was the butt of one of my little jokes. There will be no little jokes seven days before April Fools’ Day. Dave it for later.
I will be spending part of these 169 hours preparing my schedule C, which is like paying taxes if you’re a concert promoter; and putting up pliers for Ethan Iverson, Marta Sanchez et al. I think I can say this, since i own this blog that I am also promoting jazz concerts 8 consecutive days in April, then eight act simultaneously or three at a time on California Avenue 3rd Thursday, April 18. That might be it for 2024 short preseason, postseason. Stay tuned, Lord Willin, and the creek don’t rise. But hold May 19 Sunday at Mitchell Park for something.
Part of being Earthwise is being unpredictable.
