I was just thinking the other day that since it looks like the Mark Olson/Gary Louris album won't come out until next year sometime and any tour in support of his upcoming solo album likely won't happen until later this year, Louris' tour schedule for the summer should be fairly wide open.
Well, voilà. Gary is kicking off the summer with his first solo gig of the year -- albeit a low-key one on a different continent from the one i currently reside in -- at a tiny (capacity: 80) club in Paris. A poster for the gig says that Gary will be playing songs from his first solo album coming out in October. Magnifique.
Hopefully, this will get Gary psyched to play some stateside dates this summer. Anybody who has heard the great performances Gary unleashed on Spanish audiences during a brief tour in Spring 2006 with Kraig Johnson can attest that this is one tour that is definitely ready for prime time.
Bring it on Gary!
