Tribute Turns Out A Crowd




The Troubadours had a great time at the Nick Lowe tribute. Seemed like old home week with the cast of thousands that turned out to play and watch. The Troubadours did Soulful Wind from the Impossible Bird recording with guests, Bill Kirchen on guitar and trombone, Louise Kirchen singing back up, and Jon Carroll on piano. Just to add to the mix up- Jake Flack played the drums and Jack O'Dell played guitar on this one with Mark Noone holding down the bass line as usual.




Their other Nick Lowe song, Play That Fast Thing One More Time, had everybody back to their places, with Jon Carroll still on piano. The night ended with a humongous finale- too many musicians to name, but plenty enough to change a lightbulb.

There are TWO gigs (count 'em TWO) coming up- one for the older set at Chick Hall's Surf Club-January 25 and a kid's show at The Avalon Theater- Feb 2. Both are great venues, and you know these appearances are scarce now so mark your calenders.
Thanks to Linda Parker for these great shots- you can check out more pix of The Troubadours and the Nick Lowe tribute at her site.
