The Barr Brothers to play Levon Helm's Barn in May

Anyone else come across this? A friend pointed it out to me. I hadn't seen it announced yet, or at least, I'd overlooked it. In Woodstock, NY, so I'm not sure that I'd be able to make it, but seems a really cool opportunity for them.

It appears to be a screen grab because the "misspelled" last names are underlined in red. Not sure what to make of this! Looks cool though.

The Woodstock show is going to be great. And I believe the evening before in Providence is already sold out. I think that's what I read...

Was just talking with a friend earlier this week and the Providence show definitely sold out. I went to that theater recently with my girlfriend for The Mountain Goats show and, man, it's not a small place (even though he billed his tour as the "small rooms" tour). Two things: this is awesome and I'm really happy for them, and it kind of comes as no surprise, as this is a homecoming show. I'm a little bit bummed I waited for tickets on it because I thought while at that TMG show "it would be really special to see them play here."

Ah, well. I snagged tickets to see them in Portsmouth, NH the night before. If any of you plan on going, it'd be cool to say hi :)
