Stanley Wycoff -- FREE INSTORE

Stanley Wycoff Free In-store Performance
Friday, March 26th - 7:00pm

Some of you will recall last summer when we hosted an evening with the local author Alan Rifkin and a few of his friends. Well, one of the true highpoints of that night was Stanley Wycoff and his band. Stanley has spent a good amount of time in the LA music scene, playing guitar with Dave Alvin, writing songs for Chris Gaffney, and quietly releasing excellent albums that are steeped in roots and rock and roll tradition. We have been waiting for Stanley's new record to come back from the printer so we could have a proper celebration and that time has come. Stanley has assembled a crack band that includes some major heavy-weight talent; Rick Shea (who's played with Alvin's Guilty Men & Los Lobos), Donny Ott (Dobro for Gregg Allman's Band), Bruce White (guitar for Hal Ketchum), Eric Brenton (Fiddle), Joe Lamano (bass player with Zappa, the Turtles & The Association).

Stanley don't need no stinkin' myspace.

The guest list is open now, let us know you're coming and we'll be ready. Stanley's new CDs will be available at the event and Haymaker, the one before the new one (go ahead, call it the last one, but it feels weird to me when we're talking a new one.) Anyway, it's available now.
