Right here. Check it out. Thanks to Joel and Bill at the Globe for doing a great job with the article and photo. For once, the Globe got everything correct! No angry emails to demand corrections of the online version! I’m thrilled!

We had our first full-on Wilburys rehearsal last night now that Naseem from Kingsley Flood (aka Lucky Wilbury aka Bob Dylan) has joined us. The only downside of Naseem being in town is that I get a little less of Mercy James’ Dylan impression during rehearsals. His Jeff Lynne is spot on, though.
We had to pause rehearsal last night for the Boston Globe to come by and take a few photos of us in costume for an upcoming article on the show. I learned a few things:
1. I can spend a half hour spraying my hair black and people don’t even notice. Apparently, it just looks wet.
2. Emeen from Spirit Kid makes a very interesting-looking Tom Petty.
3. These guys are game for a good time this weekend. It’s going to be a fun show.
So I don’t want you to get shut out. The last time we had a show with a big Boston Globe article, dozens of people got turned away at the door. Don’t let yourself be one of those people. Head to The Cover-Up website and get yourself advance tickets for either Friday or Saturday night. Or both? Hmmmmm?
This Saturday night, I will have the pleasure of taking part in the Old Jack residency at The Rosebud. The last Saturday of every month, Dan Nicklin and his soulful outfit take over Davis Square’s best new music venue. It is a guaranteed good time (Ed. note – “guarantee” in the absolute loosest sense of the word).
In this month’s episode, I will be playing an acoustic set followed by a ripping set by Old Jack. Closing out the night will be a reunion of local rock heroes/Marylou’s News pitchmen The Charms. Should be a very fun night of rock and roll music.
In other news, the rehearsals for The Cover-Up Presents Wilburys Weekend are going great. Trying to embody the spirit and the vocal style of Roy Orbison has been probably the biggest challenge of my music career. Orbison had this unique tone that is pretty impossible to match. I’ll certainly give it the old Brendo try. I’m having a blast doing it.
After the Cover-Up, I’ve got another cool project about which to tell you all. I won’t give you all the details quite yet, but I will say it involves a beautiful woman and (this time) I have full consent. Stay tuned…
