Off to Chicago / ATL weekend preview

I'm off to Chicago for the weekend, and won't be posting again until Sunday night. I'll be sure to tell the Windy City that you all said hello.


Those of you in town, note that Nashville-based indie folkster Stone Jack Jones is playing a free in-store at Criminal Records on Thursday (6pm). He's also playing Thursday night at 10 High. I couldn't find anything to download, but there are some streaming tracks here. Check him out on MySpace.
