August 2 — BILL JANOVITZ NEW YORK TOUR — I will be playing with another superb backing band, this time made up of New York ringers, Neil Nunziato, Billy Ryan, and Matt Lindsey at Spike Hill in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with more or less the same kind of show I will be playing in Cambridge July 18. http://www.spikehillmusic.com/
August 3 — I am playing at the Rockwood Music Hall, solo acoustic.
August 4 — I will be a featured participant in a Planet One Stones fest, singing some Stones songs and maybe kicking off the night with a reading from my book — at LIC Bar in Long Island City.
Past shows
