May dates in Italy
(that I'm contractually obligated to tell you about)
I don’t want to make too big of a thing about it, since I assume most people on this list don’t live near Rome, Milan, or Bologna, but I suppose I’d be doing my promotions division a disservice if I didn’t mention this upcoming tour. I’d also be lying if I pretended not to be excited.
Things kick off in Rome this Friday, May 10 at the Bright Porch Festival. Beginning 17/5 in Chiari, all shows will be double bills (or multi-bills, in the case of the tribute concerts) with the fantastico Johnny Irion. Don’t mind the formatting - days come before months over there:

Then… were back, and it’s summer. I’m doing my best to keep dates up on the website jeffersonhamer.com. If you’ve read this far, and you haven’t already, maybe you be interested in subscribing to this newsletter:
OR maybe you (or someone you know) is an aspiring guitar player and would be interested in attending Ashokan Guitar Summit in the serene Catskill Mountains of New York State July 22-26?
OR maybe you just need something to LISTEN TO?
In any case, I’ve gotta get packing. Thanks for the support all these years. Come to think of it, this mailing list began (as the Single Malt Band mailing list) in 1999. What’s that make it… 25 years old? Hurts to even think about it. Well, here’s hoping we can keep it up for another 25.
Don’t be a stranger, keep in touch.
xo, Jefferson
