Hello All, 

This week is the last chance to catch me locally for quite a long stretch.  Luckily it is a great week of shows for a send off.  You are assured to see some of the city's finest up to some unusual and interesting musical escapades and explorations in some unusual local haunts.

Saturday Aug. 24th- at Siberia- w/ The Tom Paines 

Tonight at Saturn Bar, NOLA- The Tom Paines-11pm

I almost forgot to mention it, but always worth a catch if you like the old acoustic guitars rolling and blending around some of the old songs.   And, what better time in American history to remember old Tom Paine...

Return to weekly shows at Bacchanal, New Orleans

A very happy return to a weekly gig at The Bacchanal Wine Bar in New Orleans.  The fun kicks off tomorrow, Monday June 11 at 6pm, with The Tom Paines: Alex Mcmurray- guitar, vocals; Jonathan Freilich- guitar, vocals.

The music is different each week and will feature all of my groups and associations and occasionally something completely new.  The concerts will go on until mid-August.

The food and wine is also outstanding.
