Jon Rauhouse News

Some of you eagle eyed viewers out there might have spotted three Neko Case tour dates up in the “On Tour” section of the site, which have now disappeared.

Well the dates are still going ahead but Jon isn’t part of the band, so I’ve taken them down. You can get the information from Neko’s site, so get along and support great live music even if it is Rauhouseless

Jon has been hired, along with Tom V. Ray and Barry Mirochnick – Kelly Hogan and Paul Rigby are playing with Neko – by Jakob Dylan for his upcoming tours. So he’s currently rehearsing for those shows. I’ll get the dates up as soon as I get ‘em.

In the words of the man himself…

Neko band was going to take a bunch of time off so its great to be employed.

Jon has also uploaded a video of himself playing with Joey Burns & John Convertino (of Calexico) in Tacoma, which I’m just about to add to the site.

As part of the Neko Case band Jon is winging his way Down Under once 2010 arrives.

In the “On Tour” section of the site are the details of a number of gigs they are doing in Australia and New Zealand during January 2010.

Of course Jon was there hunched over his Epiphone Joe Pass, if you didn’t catch the show, or did and want to relive it again the video is up on the “Neko Case Tour Video” section of the site.
