Fwd: songfall: three shows for october

Hey folks ...

Here are three upcoming October shows from producer Matt Miner. I really want to call attention to the Kenny White show on Sunday, Oct 23 at the Secret Society. If you haven't heard or seen Kenny, I highly recommend checking him out and coming to this one. (And if you know him, I suspect you'll be there!)

As Matt quotes David Crosby below:  "I'd have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite singer/songwriters … and particularly, lyricists. As we say in the trade 'he goes deep.' A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor, as well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully."

Opening solo for Peter Wolf last month at the Aladdin, Kenny's set mixed thoughtful, heartfelt, and bitingly humorous tunes that garnered a well-deserved standing ovation. He's one of the best songwriters/performers I have the pleasure of knowing. Hope you will consider joining me at the show!
