Visqueen have had to cancel their appearances as the supporting act on the up coming Neko Case tour of the UK & Ireland so the new opening act will be Jon Rauhouse & Kelly Hogan.
This is for all shows except the November 1st gig at the Koko London, full details on the Tour page.
Also in the Tour section are a couple of pics from Jon’s recent gig at the Plush in Tuscon.
Jon is in his own words “all over” the new disc by singer/songwriter Norm Pratt - “Color Blind”.
Color Blind was recorded, mixed, and enineered by Norm at his studio, “the Adobe” in Cave Creek, Arizona. It features Norm on guitar, mandolin, piano, bass, and vocals.
Joined once again with Jon Rauhouse on pedal steel, Color Blind, also features long time Arizona favorites Bob Meighan and Dick Furlow of The Bob Meighan Band.
Available from Perfect Circle Records (which Norm co-founded), you can also download some MP3 samples from the disc to check it out - Perfect Circle Records
Gapers Block web site has an interview with Kathleen Judge, who’s done the artwork for Jon’s solo CD releases.
Artist Kathleen Judge has been a longtime standout within Chicago’s poster art world. Her striking work has graced posters for Neko Case, The Hideout and American Music Club, among many others. In addition, she has done CD covers for Devil in a Woodpile and Jon Rauhouse. - Gapers Block
