I met up with Jon at the recent gig in Glasgow, at the Oran Mor on Sept 7th, he was in top form as was Neko Case and her band – Jon, Paul Rigby, Barry Mirochnick, Tom V Ray & Kelly Hogan – who put on a great set, from the new album, “Middle Cyclone”, and some old favourites.

If you downloaded the NPR podcast of the Neko Case show from Washington’s 9:30 Club on April 9th that I posted about a couple of weeks about then you would have heard Kelly Hogan talk about her, Kathleen Judge and Jon taking to the air in some old time planes.

Here’s what the fella himself has to say about it…

Out on tour in Washington DC, I got a chance to take a ride in a 1945 T-6G Texan. That is a World War 2 era trainer airplane. The pilot is Kelly Hogan’s brother, Skip Hogan. What an experience and what a day. – Jon Rauhouse
