REVEREND JULIUS CHEEKS FOR PRESIDENT

HARDLY STRICTLY BLUEGRASS

We want to take you where the funky grass grows. It’s true. I’m confirming the rumor I started. (This rumor spreading thing has really been working for me lately). We are indeed playing the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival this year.

We’re part of a great bill on the Conor Oberst stage. Also known as the Conor-Brings-Friends-for-Friday-Stage featuring: Simon Felice, Chuck Prophet & the Mission Express, Beachwood Sparks, Ben Kweller, Jenny Lewis (and Conor Oberst of course).

It’s on the Friday, so you’ll have to cut out of school at lunch or something. You will want to get there early and snag a sweet spot.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you want some original excuse to call in sick from work. I’ve got a million of ‘em! And they’re all fresh. “Sorry but I was up all night knitting” is one of my personal favorites. It’s a family show. So if you’re not totally bored with your dumb family by now, bring them along too.

And keeping with our tradition, we’ll be at the Makeout Room later that eve for our annual gig with special guests from out of town.

A couple other related disagreements:

It’s true. Me and homeboy klipschutz fell out many years ago over… guess what? Money. That’s right. Here’s an interview where klipschutz interviews himself and takes the piss out of himself – and me. And clears up that money thing.

Stay gold pony boys and girls,

Chuck

PS: Did you know Dr. Phil got his $100,000.00 custom car stolen out of a repair shop like the same day I got my guitar back. Are you gonna try and tell me those two things aren’t related? We’ll see if it comes back painted green.
