PS: Pre-Summer Excitement! Now Hiring!

Wow. 

I had so much fun last week with Bill and Ned and Todd and Mike and Josh and Bernie and Ryan and Tank and Rob and Jonah. 

More awesomeness in store for this week. 

Let's take a peek, shall we?

TONIGHT! (Monday) @ Red Feather Lounge with Bernie Reilly on mandolin and vocals. 8 PM - 11 PM. Did you know the Red Feather took several awards in the most recent Martini Mix-Off? You should have. Did you know Mark Allen is the best bartender in Boise? It's true!!! 

TOMORROW! (Tuesday) T. Paul Quartet @ Hijinx Comedy Club with Ryan Peckopening. Show starts at 930. 5$ cover, 21+. I'm fully stoked, both on playing a hot set with local legends Dave Manion, Bob Nagel and Blake Durst, and on the fact that comedy once again has a permanent home in Boise. We're probably going to play at around 1030 and we will be running a good chunk of everybody's favorite Boise release of 2009,House On Fire . Go here to see more about this show and all the other exciting things that are going on at HiJinx.

WEDNESDAY! (Wednesday) T.Paul with the aforementioned Bob Nagel on upright bass at Bungalow in scenic Hyde Park, Boise, Idaho. We play from 7 - 10 on the patio. Good times, great food and drink, stellar weather, unparalleled people-watching.....it's the Wednesday night you've always dreamed could be!!!! 

FRIDAY! The lovely and talented Gizzard Stone (see above) is rocking Tom Grainey's upstairs. It's 21+ and there is probably a minimal cover. A small price to pay to see and be seen by the right people. We prolly rock 9 PM - 2 AM or something like that. Get bad.

And finally.... 
SUNDAY! I'm back home at Red Feather Lounge (see above) for Brunch tunes 11 AM - 2 PM. No cover. All ages. Bottomless mimosas. Mimosas are not all-ages. Don't be silly. 

Meanwhile, i hope all of you are well. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that i have Thursday and Saturday off this week. If you have any ideas for a gig or bartending or perhaps some recreational activities like such as Wiffle Ball for those fine eves, let me know. I can be found here, here and here. Or you can dial me up via telephone. Talk soon.

PS- It's a little known fact that T.PaulCo is now hiring. We have an opening for a full-time guitarist/multi-instrumentalist and a bassist. They may in fact be the same person. All positions are paid. If you or someone you know is interested, inquire for details. Thanks.

Phew.

Holy Cow. That was crazy good times. What a weekend/week/month/year et al.....

Thursday in Pendleton was so very loverly. Ken and all at The Great Pacific and really the whole town of Pendleton have a way of making you feel so good about simply doing what you do. It's an honor and a privilege to perform for such fantastic humans.

I'll write more about what an unbelievable slice of the world Pendleton, Oregon is very soon. Meanwhile, we move on to Friday.

A beautiful drive with my co-pilot Dave Manion led us back home. Load-in and soundcheck with the lovely Steve Gere at The Bouquet in scenic downtown Boise....

Live at The Record Exchange at 6 with Tuck Nelson and James Dean Kindle & The Eastern Oregon Playboys. Tuck is an absolute powerhouse, a whirling dervish of a one-man band with a no-doubt stone KILLER voice. Watch out. He's coming. He's here.

I have an entire post (and more) on the way regarding JDK & TEOP but for now chew on this:
and this.

Friday was incredible. Thanks to all who came out and listened and cheered and drank and laughed and talked and left. not a moment of your presence is taken for granted.

Last night we played at The Flying M Coffeegarage in Nampa with JDK & TEOP and a really great band from Long Beach CA called The Fling. Great tunes, killer tones, awesome 7"s, and ZINES(!!!) for sale. You know I'm a big zine hound. Well now you know....
Flying M is awesome.
Find The Fling here and here.

All in all a totally radical weekend and more! Lots more to write about soon. Check back.
Be seeing you...
