Mark, Keith & John on tour with Marshall Crenshaw!

Thrills and spills await you on the Marshall Crenshaw tour this week! Come witness the death-defying exhibition of Mark, John and Keith performing without a net as Marshall’s band. Experience new songs with no rehearsal! Rock to the slight-of-hand guitar wizardry! Watch the magic on stage! Don’t miss the Spectacle!

Brian has commitments that conflict with the Crenshaw tour and he will not be able to play on these dates listed below, so unfortunately there will be no proper Bottle Rockets shows on this tour. Regardless, catch a great show with the Bottle Rockets MJK Trio with Marshall! It will be like Emerson, Lake and Palmer – but without synthesizers – or the prog rock – or the English accent – or epic concept rock suites – and with four guys on stage instead of three… actually, come to think of it, it won’t be like ELP at all. BUT, it will be a Supergroup, so bring the family, friends, pets and livestock to behold this Main Event in a town near you!

Aug 14 – New York, NY @ The City Winery – Hudson Square Music Festival
Aug 15 – Buffalo, NY @ Sportsmen’s Tavern
Aug 16 – Cleveland, OH @ Beachland Ballroom
Aug 17 – Detroit, MI @ Rockin’ On The Riverfront Festival
Aug 18 – Evanston, IL (Chicago) @ Space

July East Coast Shows!

Hello friends! We’ll be visiting a few east coast cities in July.

To kick it off, we’re co-headlining shows with Marshall Crenshaw in Philly and NYC. We’ll play a full set of Bottle Rockets songs and then will join Marshall as his backing band for his set. These shows are always a good time.

Then we’re playing our own show at the Arrow Park Barn Dance in Monroe NY. This looks like a great place to hang out and should be fun for all.

And then we’re playing Acoustic Living Room Shows in Arlington, VA and Southampton, PA. These two shows are already sold out. Thank you!

Please come out and say hello.

Hosts Needed: Acoustic Living Room Shows July 27 & 28

Hi Friends,

We’re looking for a fans to host Bottle Rockets Acoustic Living Room shows someplace on the east coast on July 27 and 28.

The band is already booked for shows in NYC on July 25 and Philadelphia on July 26… so we’re looking for someplace near New Jersey on 27 and near Washington DC on 28.

Please read below and get in touch right away if you can host a show.

*** IMPORTANT: Please put “Bottle Rockets House Show” in the subject line of your email so it can get past our spam filter.

We’ll go through all the emails and figure out what works best. If we can’t make it to your house this time, we’ll keep your info for the next round of shows.

Here’s how it works.

1. You have a house or loft space that can comfortably and safely host 45-50 people. A place with a big living room, finished basement or other interior space would be ideal. Sorry, we can’t do these shows outside. There needs to be enough parking nearby and your neighbors should be cool. It would be a huge bummer if someone called the cops because of all the extra cars and people coming to your house. You should probably not do this if you live in a small apartment with a bunch of uptight neighbors or a cranky landlord. It would be great if you had some seating available… couches, folding chairs, etc. But not required. If no seating is available then we’ll let people know it’s floor seating or standing.

2. The shows will not be open to the public and no tickets will be sold at the door. We will pre-sell a set number of tickets for each show on the Bottle Rockets website before the show. Be realistic on how many people your space can hold. We need to know how many tickets we can sell in advance. We’ve found that 45-50 people is what the average living room can hold. Ticket price will be $25.

3. We will provide you with a detailed list of everyone who will be coming to the show. The host won’t have to deal with any money and will only need to check people off the list as they arrive.

4. The host can have up to 5 additional free tickets for the show. If you have other friends who want to come to the show you can direct them to the link to buy tickets on-line.

5. You don’t need any sort of sound system. All you need is 4 chairs for the band to sit on. A small table and lamp would be nice too.

6. Your home address will not be published on the web and will only be given to those people who purchase tickets.

7. The shows will not be promoted or advertised anywhere except our websites and word-of-mouth.

8. There will be no opening acts on the living room shows.

If you are interested, please follow these steps:

1. email bob@undertowmusic.com with all of these things:
– a. your address
– b. a few photos of your living room
– c. please put “Bottle Rockets Living Room Show” and the name of your town in the subject line.

2. sit tight and we’ll get back to as soon as possible if we can work your home into our schedule

After we have the dates and locations sorted out we will announce the dates and tickets will go on sale at undertowtickets.com.

Stay tuned.
