Who was that guy?
I’m trying to find footage of Equal Xchange from last year’s Homegrown. It was at the Rex Bar and some dude with dreads was walking around with a shoulder-mounted camcorder. Does anyone know who this person is? I was playing bass and would like it for my archives.

First Ave. is announcing G. Love and Special Sauce with special guests The Belle Brigade will be performing at Clyde Iron in Duluth on Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Tickets on sale this Saturday, January 29 at 10:00am. I am assuming via Ticket Master but I do not see that show listed as of yet on ticketmaster.com.
“G. Love’s new album, Fixin’ To Die, is set for release on February 22nd on Brushfire Records. Recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC, and produced by Scott and Seth Avett (The Avett Brothers), this new body of work is arguably G. Love’s most sincere and candid work to date.”
