this monday at the hideout

By Robbie on June 3, 2010

I first heard Steve Dawson sing at the Beat Kitchen in 1990, with his and his wife Diane's band Stump The Host. I could tell right away why he had no ass. He had sung it right off! Since that night I've admired his singing and writing, as exemplified in Dolly Varden and on his solo records. So I'm glad to get to share the stage with him on the coming Monday. I'm going to sing some of his songs and he's going to sing some of mine. We'll cover some offbeat favorites of ours. Harmonies in thirds and fifths will be deployed. And there is a gimmick underway involving paranormal children, about which I'll say no more.
