Java Jo's Coffee Bar, Berlin, OH; 08/01/08
Tom returns to this Amish village coffee shop for a non-stop 2+ hour set of songs and stories. Book-ended by cover songs was a 24-song set that reached way back into the past and also included a couple of brand new tunes. Slow, bluesy songs occasionally were nudged aside for delicately fingerpicked ballads which then gave way to firey acoustic rockers. Set list as follows:
Nowhere Road
Dance With Who Brought You
Clear County Road
Steeltown Blues
Saving Grace
Goodbye Town
The Breaker
Union Miner
Nightshift Blues
Float Me On Down This River
This Town
I Don't Know What Took So Long
Balladeer's Son
Hearts of Fire
Of Course
Until It Falls Away
Out in the Cold
Gary's '55
You Don't Want to Lose Her
One Way Ticket
Thunder Road
It Ain't Easy Being Me
What I Wouldn't Do
Highway Junkie
Another awesome evening of music; always worth the drive! It was nice seeing Janet and Jack, too.

Hi, Tom!
I stumbled on the Amerison Highway Tour site this morning while goofin' off at work. I really love the concept! Definitely brought back some old memories of my family roadtrip adventures. Can't wait to hear your stories from the road.
Take care!
Linda

PD's Pub: Saturday
One of my favorite TB and AS shows ever. I wish I had written down all the rarities. High energy and attentive (although non dancing) crowd really helped. Can't wait to see you guys again soon.

am writing to you to ask your support for a worthwhile show.
Please attend AmeriSon Productions' Ballroom Folk Series at Cefalo's in Carnegie. It has some of the finest talent in today's folk scene coming to Pittsburgh and you really won't want to miss it.
Here is the line-up:
Thursday, April 24 - Beaucoup Blue with special guests Bob Beach, Rick Malis, and Tom Breiding
Zac has a baseball game AND karate so I can't make it. I can't recomend these performers enough. Bob Beach has blow me away both times I've seen him. Rick Malis is with the MavenS I beleive (I bought their cd after one show) and you know about my thoughts on Tom. Interestingly I don't know the headliner, but here's some info.
Beaucoup Blue Biography:
Beaucoup Blue is the Philadelphia based duo of David and Adrian Mowry. Father and son have been performing their music strongly rooted in the blues, up and down the eastern seaboard. Bridging many gaps in American music, their soulful traditional and contemporary style mesh into an innovative and authentic sound. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they also base their love in music from Folk, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Country, and Bluegrass. All these interests and influences come out in their original songwriting in a unique way.
A handsome range of instruments like six and twelve string guitars, slide guitar, Dobro and the two soulful voices blend together like only family members can, affecting audiences wherever they perform.
Here are a few examples of some things written about Beaucoup Blue: "This is what acoustic blues should sound like but so rarely do. Father and son, David and Adrian Mowry, deliver a surprisingly soulful performance. Their singing is tough and controlled and their guitar work is crisp and mournful." (Tune-UP Magazine),
"Covers and reworkings mix nicely with own compositions like the tender 'Crying Won't Help You' and the roots number 'Shiver To The Bone'. The recording quality is outstanding and the songs obviously benefit from this. Out Of The Woodwork is in my mind genuine craftsmanship" (Bobtje Blues),
"An acoustic masterpiece" (Big City Blues Magazine)
Please listen and hear for yourself what this unique family duo has to offer.

I just heard a cut from The Unbroken Circle played on KPIG radio ( the San Francisco 1510 version ). Ordered 3 CDs, and sent a pasted copy of the cover
and site link to friends back east in WestByGod. First time I had heard any song of yours . . and liked it !
Good luck with this new CD, as more people are guaranteed to like it when they hear it . . : >) PL

That WYEP show was a great mid-week treat for me.First time I ever saw you play in studio with no distractions.The full-band performance of "Union Miner" was a showstopper in any venue or circumstance.Great work that seems to be just getting better.To watch a show of that caliber for no charge feels like stealing! Thanks!!
