For your LSB enjoyment: two more acoustic shows and two full band shows in the second half of August!

You know, folks, some people call August “the dog days of summer”. Not us! We call it “another month when you can catch us live in many formats, and in many places”. (Not as catchy, but factually accurate.) Because as busy as we’ve been this summer, we simply can’t believe our tremendous luck with our outdoor shows in particular. Not only have we been blessed with good weather, but also with appreciative crowds out to enjoy live music.

Last month was just another example of that luck – peaking with our mini-road trip to BPZ’s hometown of Marshfield, WI. The fine folks of Marshfield and our hosts from the Wenzel Family Plaza, Good Day Sunshine Records, and Uptown Coffee Company all gave us such a warm welcome! We hope to make that a regular trip every summer, because it keeps getting better.

But back to August! As you can see on our events page, you have FOUR MORE chances to catch j.bell along with some version of the LSB: as a duo with $2 Bill Turner, a trio with Bill and BPZ, or in our “Full Band” glory with me (Mike) and Kent Mortimer holding down the rhythm section. If you’re itching for a trip “up north”, you can catch the full band at the Ripple-Sippi Music Fest in Aitkin this coming Friday 8/19, where a $20 advance ticket charge gets you access to a ton of bands on multiple stages that night. But we’ll also be at our favorite Carbone’s in Minneapolis the next night (8/20), doing our best to prevent j.bell’s scorching solos from lighting their lovely patio on fire. We hope to catch you at one – or maybe all – of those shows as we close out the summer!
