- Ed Harcourt will be performing on The Tonight Show (hosted by Taylor Hicks’ uncle, Jay Leno) this evening (it’s a repeat from June 6th)! Word from the NBC website states that Harcourt will be playing a song from his amazing ”new” album The Beautiful Lie, which actually was released in England in 2006…it just took the United States record industry two years to get it here. I’ll post the video right here if it is made available later.
In the meantime, here’s an AOL Sessions performance from Ed, played on March 21, 2002. It’s a rewarding view: primarily just voice, piano and…trumpet.
- The Workplay Theatre here in Birmingham, Alabama, just announced today that Tift Merritt and Teddy Thompson will be playing a joint date on Sunday, September 7th. Who’s headlining? Dunno. My guess would be that Merritt will be the headliner, as she has quite a bit more history in this town, but it would be great to see a co-headlining show similar to those awesome Nick Lowe/Ron Sexsmith concerts that peppered the country over the last year. Tickets for the Tift & Teddy Show go on sale on Friday, July 4th, and they’re only $13.00! The venue’s website can be found at www.workplay.com.

Tift will go on 9 p.m. and Teddy is scheduled for 8 p.m. And I am super, super excited. That is going to be a jam-packed, expensive weekend for me! Sure, the concerts on my calendar are inexpensive… but you’ve also got Artwalk and Muse of Fire’s fall showcase that weekend! It should be a good one.
