Elvis Perkins in Dearland is hitting the road next week in support of their self-titled sophomore release, and the tour will include two stops here in Colorado:

May 08 – Hi-Dive, Denver, CO
May 09 – B Side Lounge, Boulder, CO

Seeing these dates surface convinced me to dust off another 2006 Folks Festival recording.  This performance occurred six months before the release of Ash Wednesday, so most of us festivarians were unprepared for the brilliance that lay ahead.

Here’s a Jeff Tweedy solo show I taped a few years back at the Folks Festival in Lyons.  I know this recording has made the rounds before, but every time it gets posted, there seem to be people interested in grabbing it.
