MUMBO JUMBO – October 2010

AUTUMN GREETINGS FROM KEY WEST!

I’m back in Key West nearly four months, 35 states and 21.500 miles after initially hitting the road back on June 11. I recently finished the summer tour at the Martha’s Vineyard Songwriter’s Festival on September 26 and just finished a six night engagement at The Margaritaville Café here in Key West.

We hit the road again this week for a few shows on the Gulf Coast at The Silver Moon and Lulu’s, then Louisville, KY, and Charleston, SC, and back to Florida. At the end of the month we head back to the Keys for an engagement at Snappers in Key Largo, and then on down to Key West for the annual Parrothead festival and then back to New England for full band shows at The Palace Theater in Manchester on Nov. 11 and opening for Darius Rucker at The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom on Nov. 14.

Many of you have asked if we will perform regularly in the Keys through the winter months this year. In the past I’ve stayed pretty close to home in Key West through the winter but this year I’ve decided to leave more time available for touring in other parts of the country and much more time for writing. The writing process generally takes me to the solitude and quiet of New England so I’m really looking forward to working on a lot of new material over the winter.

However, we will be playing a number of engagements in the Keys, so keep an eye on the web site. Christmas week we will be at The Margaritaville Café in Key West, and Snappers in Key Largo. We also may perform a special New Year’s Eve show on The Pier House beach, so stay tuned for details!

MOTM PARROTHEAD FESTIVAL Nov 3 – 7, 2010.

We’ll be back in Key West in time for the annual Meeting of the Minds Parrothead Festival and very excited about playing back at THE PIER HOUSE BEACH, as it was the first gig I played when I moved to Key West 22 years ago. Country Dave will be in town, as well as the fabulous Emily Leader, and don’t forget the FURY SUNSET CRUISE on Friday evening. That sold out last year but there still are some tickets left, so get on the FURY WEBSITE for more details! Saturday night we will be doing a 9PM acoustic show at the Pier House with Dave and Emily and a special late night guest!

WEDS, Nov 3 – The Pier House Beach Bar, 7PM with Dave Edmisten

SCOTT KIRBY BAND SHOWS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE in NOVEMBER!

On Thursday, NOVEMBER 11, I will be bringing the full band to The PALACE THEATER in Manchester, New Hampshire, so please check their web site for tickets. Then on Sunday, NOVEMBER 14, we open for Darius Rucker at the season closing show at the historic HAMPTON BEACH CASINO BALLROOM. Some tickets are still available.

So as you can see there is still a lot of traveling left to do in 2010 and we expect to add more dates on the road in the coming days, so keep an eye on the web site! Also stay tuned for details regarding a Caribbean Cruise in early March! We’ll talk about that in next month’s Mumbo Jumbo.

As always, thanks for listening!
