Hi all! Here’s a few great live happenings for you to join us in over the next two weeks:
TOMORROW Tue, 6/17 - The JSB head back to Pianos to play an early set in support of Samantha Crane and the Midnight Shivers. We’ll be on at 9pm followed by Samantha and then Born at Sea. The Woes open the night.

Thu, 6/26 - Live from Down Home! Join Housing Works Bookstore and The Jones Street Boys as we kick off a monthly celebration of roots music at the Bookstore. On Thursday, June 26, at 8pm the first LIVE FROM DOWN HOME will feature the indie folk singer Luke Temple. Free admission, cheap drinks, and a guaranteed good time. The Jones Street Boys will open the show and host the evening. Luke Temple will headline, followed by an open jam session for whoever brings an instrument. If you bring an instrument and you play it, you get $1 off drinks all night! Each month will feature special headlining acts followed by open bluegrass jam. All proceeds benefit Housing Works Inc.
Luke Temple released his first EP in 2004, on Mill Pond Records, and followed it up with his first full-length album, Hold a Match for a Gasoline World in 2005. In the fall of 2006 his song “Make Right with You” was featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. With indie rock kingpins Ben Gibbard and Sufjan Stevens now heralding his voice as one of the best in the business, Temple released his sophomore effort, the quirkily intimate Snowbeast, in 2007.
“Luke Temple has one of the most beautiful voices in pop music.” – Sufjan Stevens
“Mr. Temple isn’t part of any particular school — not even that all-purpose new songwriters’ catchall, freak-folk — and his private world is fascinating.” – Jon Pareles, New York Times
