The Writers Club on WQHS tuesday night!

hello pretty faces!

i'm excited to say that philadelphia's the writers club will be visiting WQHS to join me on the first of installment of my summer show this tuesday evening (the 20th), 6-8p.

the writers club is literally a club - a group of writers and singers of various styles coming together to create some beautiful music and art - but it centers around the efforts of patrick welsh (also of tell me, bycicle and the bastilles). his work is earnest, honest accoustic folk, and throughout its stories is a subtle yet incredibly tangible nationalism. but this nationalism isn't the freedom fries-type of pride you may be tempted to assume i mean which we've become so unfortunately accustomed to in the last seven years; this is a near-nostalgic love for the essence of american identity and the spirit of its beginnings, the fabric which makes american land a unique moment in time and space.

so check out the links to the pages above and try this out, and if you like what you hear (which i suspect you will), tune in on tuesday night to hear patrick play a few songs and talk more about his music and life as a philadelphia musician. also! i believe someone will be taping the session, in which case i'll post the video here.

listen in!!
