If you feel like coming out this weekend to hear/see some live music, it would be awesome to see you! It really helps when people show up since it means I can get booked again and continue to earn money and not starve ; ) Plus I really, really like playing for people I know, and playing for anyone that shows up to listen!!!
Here are my gigs while I’m in Truckee (I’ll be leaving for awhile March 23rd to do some more races in other parts of the world, so hope to see you before then!)
Friday March 12: Kimba Madsen Trio @ Cottonwood (7-10pm) with Jeff Wright on bass. Some fun acoustic / acoustic-electric renditions of a bunch of songs you may know, with more guitar solos thrown in than I deserve probably…
Saturday March 13: “Ian Case Trio” @ Baxter’s (in the village at Northstar…a really sweet venue if you’ve never been!) (8-11pm) with the insanely good Caleb Dolister on drums, and equally incredible Tristan on keys. I’m really psyched about this one, this will be some rippin’ jazz / instrumental stuff with some of the very, very best musicians in Tahoe. And me ; )
Thursday March 18: “Ian Case Trio” @ Moody’s (8-11pm, downtown Truckee)…this will be similar to the gig at Baxter’s but with my friend Todd Hollway tearin’ it up on keys! I’m equally excited for this one.
Friday March 19: solo Double-Neck Guitar concert at For Goodness Sake (downtown Truckee, sorta near the train station) 6:30pm. Some solo acoustic instrumental stuff on the double neck, several pieces on the african kalimba, and some new stuff using a live looper to layer a bunch of melodies and harmonies together. Low-key but listening-oriented environment in a fun little space. No charge, donations accepted.
Saturday March 20: playing the Double-Neck down in Grass Valley at the Grass Valley Performing Arts Center, as part of the Guitar Extravaganza XI. I’ll be getting to do a rare thing and perform one of my songs with a full band (the way the song was meant to be heard!) featuring some really, really pro musicians. Also will do a couple solo pieces. Also performing are a bunch of classical / flamenco guitar virtuosos from all over California and beyond. Two shows: 2pm Matinee, 8pm evening show.
