09/15 St. PAUL, MN Xcel Energy Center Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears

OK, they're coming to STL on 6/16. But I don't care. What I care about is the fact that Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears are opening for them on the last four dates, and one wild-card date in-between.

That means you better see them on March 6 at Off Broadway, Dr. J.

Because after those damn DMB folks see BJL & THB, they won't be playing there anymore. And to think I saw them at that very intimate venue opening up for our very own Gentleman Auction House. They're making the climb. Good for them.
