Our thoughts are something like this:

April 9 – Eddie’s Attic or the Earl
April 10 – The Melting Point or Rialto Room

I’ve included below a link to James’ music and his bio. We can send discs as well. Please let me know as soon as you are able.

Thank you.

James Apollo is restless as a willow in a windstorm. While his music often has some pervasive themes, namely love, loss, loneliness and deceit, Apollo steeps it in so much melancholy that even the most dire of tales has you wondering whether he’s cheering for the victim or the cause. And though there may be a sly smile between castanets on his latest, How Hard a Heart of Gold Can Be, for Apollo, this is about as steady as he’s going to get. Apollo, who recorded his two previous albums near his home in Brooklyn, traveled back to the bluffs of the upper Mississippi, where longtime musical compatriots joined him in setting these songs in stone. The session took place in a short window between tours, leaving Apollo just enough time to shake the dust off his jacket and onto tape. The result, How Hard a Heart of Gold Can Be, cries out from the dark side of lover’s lane. Apollo recalls “A fellow asked me the other day about being on the road. He said it must be tough to keep a relationship going when you’re away from home. I said no, being away is the easy part. It’s when I’m home that times get rough”

I believe Matt’s drum kit is unchanged in the last decade or so. So I guess the answer is “equally smart” :)
