What has Ian been doing?

Ian has been making amplifiers and other various electronic monstrosities. He has been doing some session work, both in his own studio as well as others in Seattle and Austin. Most excitingly, he has been writing songs for some big name artists. We will happily spill the beans when they are ready to be spilled

We appreciate everyone's support. you guys have been pretty amazing in terms of following all of the twists and turns of my career. Looking forward to seeing everyone at some of the summer festivals!

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey is coming to the east and midwest in June to celebrate the release of their new album, ' Lil Tae Rides Again.' The Absolute Sound states: "The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey step through the looking glass to emerge from the shadows of their disparate rock and jazz influences with something wholly fresh." JFJO will take this fresh approach on the road and begin their tour in Boston, hitting NYC & Philly, then through Ohio and onto Chicago,IL & Madison,WI before finishing in Iowa.

For the entirety of the run the band will once again be accompanied onstage by Pete Tomshany on guitar to help re-create the lush sonic tapestries found on the new album. Prepare for sensory overload as JFJO further envelops the evening in 'Lil Tae' by enlisting VJ Golden Child to present projections every night. Even those who have seen JFJO before should prepare to be astonished!

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey enlisted underground electronic music producer, Tae Meyulks, to work with them on 'Lil Tae Rides Again. ' Recorded over the span of 2007 in Tulsa, the album is marked by its psych-jazz and ambient rock soundscapes. Bass Player Magazine calls the album "....powerfully evocative, making the listening experience alternately trying and transcendent."Under the Radar says "'Lil Tae Rides Again' bathes in electro-blackness, a blood-red island in a skewed fantasy. Gorgeous or beastly, it sticks to your shivering bones."

To hear a track off of the new album be sure to check out the inaugural podcast from STS9's 1320 records. Once you have listened to STS9's new track, ' Shock Doctrine' , keep the podcast going to listen to JFJO's ' Tetherball Triumph', featured directly afterwards. Additionally, the track can be downloaded on JFJO's myspace, where you can also find streaming live recordings of the album's material interpreted live on tour in April.

' Lil Tae Rides Again', is available on CD & 180gm vinyl from Hyena Records and digitally on 1 320records.com. Click here to listen to more music off the album in stop-animation video shorts created by producer Tae Meyulks. For more information and complete tour date listings go to jfjo.com .

Susan Herndon.... rocks!

Greetings!

Festival season has officially blown in... now I must do this quickly, before it rains again and the winds pick up and the power goes out. On the other hand, out in the fields, with the sounds of the coyotes howling and Frozen Rose machine humming (more about that later), who needs electricty (I mean, as long as there's a Starbucks nearby)?

Here's a brief list of the festivals that the band and I will be playing in case you're oh, so busy and don't have time to read my well-crafted newsletter.

the Stone Bluff Lavender and Wine Festival

SunFest in Bartlesville

Country Fever Fest in Pryor

OKMozart Festival in Bartlesville

SummerStage at the PAC in Tulsa

Woody Fest and the Red Dirt Harvest Festival at the Grape Ranch Winery in Okemah!

xxooo

(for gigs without blurbage, scroll down)

*********************************************************************************************

Rick's Cafe Americain. (51st and Harvard, Tulsa.) Wednesday, 4, 11, 18, 25 June, 6:30-9:30 pm. Last month at the new location. The special table--and the regulars know what I'm talking about--will soon be on its way to the Smithsonian and placed near Elvis' jumpsuit and Archie and Edith's chairs, or Rick will just take it to the new location and place it in the lounge somewhere. Either way, come out, order something expensive, and then carve your intials in the wood.

Red Rock Canyon. (9916 Riverside Pkwy, Tulsa.) Thursday, 5 & 19 June, 6;30-10:30 pm.

On the Arkansas River, across from Jenks. This one's weather permitting (but then again, isn't most of life?)

Doe's. (Cherry Street, between Utica & Peoria, Tulsa.) Friday, 6 & 27 June & Staurday, 14 June, 6:30- 9:30 pm. On the patio, too, so this one is also weather permitting. I feel hopeful, though and, really, if you can't count on there being weather, what is there left to believe in?

Lavender and Wine Festival. (24474 E. 191st St., Haskell, OK.) Saturday, 7 June, 10 am-ish. Yes, it's that time of year again. And, Lavender Hills Farm now has wine, too. This is the 6th Annual event at the state's best-smelling festivals. And I did mention there's wine, yes? More info: www.lavenderhillfarm.net

SunFest. (420 SE Madison Blvd, Bartlesville, OK.) Saturday, 7 June, 5 pm. With the band!

You read right: wine and lavender in the morning; sun and--I don't know--maybe more wine in the afternoon. The band will be with me in Bartlesville. To make both gigs, we'll have to make haste (not to mention hurry). And let me apologize for my carbon footprint on this day. I'll walk to the rest of my gigs this month, promise. www.bartlesvillesunfest.org

The Grape Ranch. (6 miles south of I-40, exit #221, Okemah, OK.) Sunday, 8 June, 2 pm.

My home away from home--you know, without the major repairs. Anyway, since I already made two alcoholic references in the above two gigs, I will not mention the Frozen Rose machine. I will not mention the Frozen Rose machine. I will not mention the Frozen Rose... www.graperanch.com

Lola's at the Bowery. (5 E. Brady Street, Tulsa.) Thursday, 12 June, 6:30-9:30 pm. With the band! First time at this club, so, as usual, no Jell-O shots off strangers' abdomens until we get booked back. There's much to tell you, but trust me on this one: no place in Tulsa stuffs their olives the way Lola does.

Country Fever Fest. (114 South Mill Street, Pryor, OK.) Friday, 13 June, 7:30 pm. With the band! Yep, that's right, Country Fever. Four days of love and music and nothing but love and music... oh, wait, that was Woodstock. Anyway, this is a four-day festival in Pryor (we'll be playing for Friday's Red Dirt day,) and, as the name suggests, it's all about the country. Cowboy hats, boots optional, but recommended. We'll bring the Skoal.

Gilcrease Museum. (1400 Gilcrease Museum Road, Tulsa, OK.) Tuesday, 17 June, 5:30 pm.

With the Frank Brown Trio. I just hope I don't get this one confused with Country Fever. I'd hate for Frank to start in on "This Masquerade" while I start playing the scary guy's banjo solo from Deliverance.

Cedar Ridge. (10302 South Garnett Road, Broken Arrow, OK.) Friday, 20 June. With the band! If you're members of Cedar Ridge, what the hell are you doing on my mailing list? Still, call, beg, maybe they'll let you in. Tell them you're with the band. No, wait, don't do that--they won't let you in, then.

OK Mozart Festival. (Bartlesville Community Center, B-vill, OK.) Saturday, 21 June, 5:30 pm. I wanted to sing selections from Cosi Fan Tutte, mostly because I like saying tutte, but decided instead to sing my very own Okie songs. This is a big-time fest. Peter Nero and Ben Vereeen will be playing, so after my set, get out of my way, as I will be sucking up to both of them. Go to: www.okmozart.com

Music on the Square. (5th and Main, Tulsa, OK.) Thursday, 26 June, 12-1 pm.

Yes, it's that time of year again, even though the square is kind of an oval. Downtown Tulsa Unlimited's concert on Bartlett (your geometric figure here) series! Grab your lunch and come out or stop in at Billy's on the Square (I like to think of that as newsletter product placement) and order a burger. www.tulsadowntown.org

The LumbarYard. (105 E. Van Buren, Eureka Springs, Arkansas.) Saturday, 28 June. With the band. Music and wood.

Oklahoma Travel Net. www.oklatravelnet.com Recorded a few songs the other day to promote the OKMozart Festival and you can now hear them online. Personally, I can't find them online, but I have it on good authority they're there.
