Jam of the Year

Some of you may know that I have been trying to make a record of Harry Nilsson songs for the past few years. Some of you may know that, with the help of Mark Nichols and many brilliant local musicians, I made that record this year. Some of you may further know that I've been wanting to perform this album in a live setting. What you may not know is that the show is on. Like Rashomon. (citation: Forrestotle)

Nelson Sings Nilsson LIVE! Friday, December 8th at Town Hall in Seattle (8th and Seneca). The room is like a cathedral. Almost everyone who played and sang on the record will be in the show--which will mean me, singing in front of a 24-piece orchestra/rock band. A rockestra, if I may paraphrase Wings. I feel certain it's going to be a great show.

Did I mention "Awesome" is opening?

Now I am certain.

And it costs $10 in advance. Tickets available through www.brownpapertickets.com.

(And I'm the producer of the show, which means I have to pay for everything, from hall rental to insurance to bowls of M&Ms in the "Awesome" dressing suite, so if people don't show up, Christmas is cancelled!)

Thank you for your attention. I mean that in every way possible.
