THOMAS ALLEN’S ‘EPILOGUE’ AT FOLEY GALLERY IN NYC THROUGH OCTOBER 10TH
(Kevin - This is the photo link for this section: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/2672829370_2eeafccf1c_m.jpg)
For those of you who will still be Stateside this month, I’m very happy to pass along the following news.

Thomas Allen, the photographer who shot the cover photo I love so much for Misadventures in Stereo, has a show of his photography at the Foley Gallery in NYC going on now through October 10th. It was seeing photos from his last show at Foley that made me want to work with him. If you are around, I encourage you to go.

Here’s a link to an article about the show with all the info.

Philly, NYC and UK/Europe in September (and October)

1 Comment 07 September 2009

FRIDAY, 9.11.09 - 7P
JIM AND ZACH: RAISIN’ CASH FOR THE EUROPEAN BLAST
YARDS BREWERY
PHILADELPHIA, PA

Zach Djanikian and I are playing one more Philadelphia Sessions fundraiser for our trip overseas to bring the Sound of Philadelphia to the good people of Europe (and the UK, which is sort of Europey).

You might say as far as this trip to Europe is concerned, it’s “The Final Countdown”. I’m really hoping that’s the right joke, because I don’t have time to check it out on Google, but to extend what is already a questionable bit of humor even further: For those who ask if Zach and I will someday tour Asia, all I can say is “Only Time Will Tell”. See? I TOLD you the ’80s were awful.

Anyway, I hope you will attend. Zach plays a solo set, I play a solo set, we play some together and there’s free samples of Yards fantastic beer (that’s for YOU - the attendees, not US).

The Recap:
Friday, 9.11.09 - 7p
JIM BOGGIA / ZACH DJANIKIAN
Yards Brewery
901 N. Delaware Avenue - Philadelphia , PA
215.868.9907
Order Tix
21+. $25 (includes free samples of Yards beer).

TUESDAY, 9.15.09 - 10P
THE LIVING ROOM
NYC

Sing along:

I love gigs at the Living Room
So that’s not why I hate New York
I’ll have Special Guests (but not Mitchell Froom)
So why not save the date, New York?

Too clever by half, I’d say. In any event, I play one final NYC show before leaving for Europe and, yes, there are Special Guests and, yes, they are Special. So even though it’s a bit late, I’d recommend coming to this one.

The Recap:
Tuesday, 9.15.09 - 10p
JIM BOGGIA
The Living Room
154 Ludlow - NYC
212.533.7237
21+. No cover.

UK / EUROPEAN TOUR WITH (AND WITHOUT) ZACH DJANIKIAN

‘Beatles by Boggia’ - 9.02.09 - World Cafe Live

0 Comments 28 August 2009

Greetings Beatle Peedles,

A quick blast about what should be a very cool, unique night of Fab and Gear entertainment.

WEDNESDAY, 9.02.09 - 7P
BEATLES BY BOGGIA (45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEATLES’ 1ST PHILLY SHOW)
WORLD CAFE LIVE - PHILADELPHIA, PA

September 2, 1964 - The Beatles’ 1st Philly show takes place at the Philadelphia Convention Center

Tickets were 5 bucks.

There were probably about 17 other acts on before they played.

Hy Lit (note the initials) asked them to come play at the Convention Center. He also hosted.

The Beatles’ set wasn’t more than about about a half an hour.

They were paid $25k.

September 2, 2009 - The ‘Beatles by Boggia’ takes place at World Cafe Live

Tickets are 15 bucks (plus a nominal service fee - life is so much better now).

Larry Kane will talk about his time traveling with and interviewing the Beatles on their first tour (and beyond) and Denny Somach will present a bunch of his fab memorabilia (including the only footage of the Beatles’ performance that night in ‘64) before I play.

Helen Leicht (note the initials) asked me to come play at World Cafe Live. She’s also hosting, which is what you’d expect from the woman who invented the Breakfast with the Beatles format.

I’m playing the same set The Beatles played and it STILL won’t be more than about about a half an hour.

I’m being paid $25k.

At least one of these things isn’t true (Hint: it’s not the set length) but it WILL be a great evening of music and Fab memories.

If you were at the Beatles’ show 45 years ago and bring your ticket stub, WCL will give you a free drink. If you have been at ANY of my shows in the past and bring your ticket stub, I’ll let you buy me a drink.

Oh yeah - and there’s a special English pub-style menu that night. I’m hoping for Sunday Roast with Yorkshire Pud (but I’m not cookin’, so I can’t promise).

The Recap:
Wednesday, 9.02.09 - 7p
BEATLES BY BOGGIA
World Cafe Live
3025 Walnut Street - Philadelphia, PA
215.222.1400
Get tix

21+. $15 (plus service charge).

THE BIG PROMO PUSH

In order to spread the word about Wednesday night’s show, I’m making a couple of promotional appearances on Monday, 8.31.09:

The 10! Show
Visiting with my friends Bill Henley and Lori Wilson once again on The 10! Show and playing a Fab tune. As always, you can watch it at home or come down to the studio and watch the magic.

The Recap:
Monday, 8.31.09 - 11a
THE 10! SHOW
NBC10 - Philadelphia, PA
Be in The 10! Show Audience

WXPN’s Leicht Lunch
After “wrapping” the TV portion of the broadcast day, I’ll be joining Helen Leicht on the radio for WXPN’s Leicht Lunch. I will play a Fab tune different from the one I played earlier on TV. I will ask Helen to tell the story about when she met Paul and I will have a story prepared about not meeting him.

The Recap:
Monday, 8.31.09 - 12p - 1p
LEICHT LUNCH
88.5 WXPN - Philadelphia, PA
