ON THE ROAD WITH SHANNON HICKS

Just announced is another return by ANI DiFRANCO, who will be at The Bushnell

in Hartford on Friday, October 1. Tickets are going on sale for DiFranco's

show Saturday morning (Aug 21) at 10 am, all at $24.50 each.

DiFranco is touring this fall to support her latest release, Up Up Up Up Up ,

which is the first album she has recorded with her new band. Julie Wolf on

keyboards and Jason Mercer on bass have joined DiFranco and longtime drummer

Andy Stochansky.

Bushnell tickets are available through the Bushnell box office, or by calling

860/987-5900 or 888/824-2874.

An open jam is planned for Sunday night (August 22) at Cafe Nine in New Haven

with the band SOL DOG. After playing one set, lead singer Rev DiCerto will

hand over the mic and let anyone who wants to sit in with the band. If you're

interested in performing with the band, bring your own instrument -- I'm told

pretty much anything goes with these guys when they play these open shows.

(For directions, the club can be reached at 789-8281).

When THE LISTINGS performs at Laszlo's Arts Cafe in Monroe next week, the band

will be making a recording for its next CD. The show is planned for Thursday,

August 26. The cafe is at 179 Main Street (Route 25) in Monroe, and showtime

is 8 pm.

KARLING ABBEYGATE & THE MONKS OF LOVE begins a four-month late summer and fall

tour to support Glory Girl , its new White Trash Records release, later this

month. The band will be at The Village Cafe in Gaylordsville on October 13.

And finally this week, a reminder that MIND TYDES will once again be playing

at Toad's Place this weekend. The band has a co-opening set alongside SMOKE

THE PROPHET on August 20; both bands are opening for SHAKEDOWN.

Until next week, I'll be seeing you... on the road.
