It is also Tara Phillip's birthday so we are going to be featuring her singing. She'll be performing with her new band and we'll all be playing songs that we have played together over the last year and a couple of months. For the sake of posterity, I have added a picture of Tara singing with the original lineup (View image) at one of our early O'Neill's gigs.
Hope you can make. Its going to be a lot of fun.

November is almost upon us. We have three gigs booked for the month. All in San Francisco!! Yeah, I love this town!! OK... here is waht we have .
Nov. 3 (Friday) - Maggie McGarry's, 9:45 PM - 12:45 AM
Nov. 8 (Wednesday) - Johnny Foley's Irish Pub, 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM
Nov. 22 (Wednesday) - Johnny Foley's Irish Pub, 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM
Nov. 3 (Friday) - Maggie McGarry's an Irish Pub in North Beach, 9:45 PM - 12:45 AM. Looks like the Irish Pub is a winner no matter where you open one up. We went up the Maggie McGarries a couple weeks ago and we like it. There is a stage so everyone can see and plenty of room to dance. Also a friend and colleague of mine by the name of John Joyce works there. This Pub is pretty new and I haven't been able to find a web site for it. Its located at 1353 Grant Avenue, San Francisco.
Nov. 8 (Wednesday) - Johnny Foley's Irish Pub 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM. Love this place. Always gets a good crowd.
Nov. 22 (Wednesday) - Johnny Foley's Irish Pub 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM. This is the first time we are playing twice in a month at Johnny Foley's. The properietor told me that this is normally a busy night, because it is the night before Thanksgiving. Looking forward to playing. People are always in a good mood and it makes the gig a little better than usual. Can't wait.
A couple of additional comments. We are currently booking 3-4 nights per month. If we play too much it becomes all-consuming for us. Last, it looks like we got the Irish Pubs pretty well covered. Irish Pubs are wonderful destinations for an evening.

Another kinda solo gig, this time we are in San Francisco. I have been meaning to get more playing dates in the city. This is our second time playing in San Francisco this year. (The first time was at O'Neill's Irish Pub near the ballpark.)
Please join us this Wednesday evening from 9 PM - 12 AM at John Foley's in San Francisco. I'll be playing with bassist Scot Larsen. I think my good friend Erica Lee will be coming by to lend her beautiful vocals to our mix. I have put the word out to a few other musicians who may stop by, and perhaps, may sit in.
For dirinving directions you can start with this link to Google Maps.
Hope to see you there!

I'll being playing kinda solo Wednesday night at the No. 1 Broadway.
I remember this place was happenning on weekends back in the 90's when I lived in Santa Cruz. Lots of dancing and always really good live dance music. I'll be playing from 9 PM - 12 AM with bassist Scot Larsen, who has been playing a lot with us recently.
Here is the press release style notification that I sent to Lara Price who is a great musician herself and who is handling booking for the wednesday evenings.
"Join us for an evening of acoustic music with John Lawton singer/guitarist of the Rodeo Clowns and bassist Scot Larsen at the No. 1 Broadway in Los Gatos . Their music includes originals and acoustic interpretations/covers of many of the classic rock songs of our era by groups such as Van Morrison, Tom Petty and The Doobie Brothers. Their music is not limited to any specific era or genre. The Rodeo Clowns like to play songs that are great songs - songs that sound good and relflect their spirit. Other groups coverd include Jack Johnson, Los Lonley Boys, The Violent Femmes and even Lionel Ritchie. "
Ok, thats it for now... hope to see you there!

We will be at the Blue Chalk in Palo Alto this coming Sunday 6/25, 5-8 PM for another Acoustic Sunday/Open Mic. So far we have had great participation and hope to turn this into a big night for music and musicians.
We look forward to seeing you.

Continue reading "Update | Acoustic Sunday/Open Mic | Blue Chalk | 6/25" »
We have been doing an Acoustic Sunday at O'Niell's for 2+ years now, on the first Sunday of the month. It has grown from two performers, Pete and I, and a handful of friends, to a good group of people who are both musicians and people that enjoy live music.
I am excited to say that the Blue Chalk in Palo Alto is interested in seeing if we can get something going on Sundays as well. There has always been a pretty strong musical scene in Palo Alto. Its just far enough away that you don't get a lot of overlap between the musicians in San Mateo and Palo Alto.
On Monday evening, I posted a notice on Craig's List that we will be hosting an Open Mic at the Blue Chalk in Palo Alto. I'm pleased to say that I have already heard from two musicians that plan on coming by and sharing their music with us. I look forward to making more friends, meeting new musicians and helping to bring back live music to the night spots in our area.
