Joel always does amazing work, but this is exceptional stuff even among his fantastic catalog.

Set list:
Love's Still Wild
Alone With Him
My Machine

They really put on an amazing set, with Wild flowing directly into Alone. Very cool. A high energy, almost visceral set. Everybody was listening and into it. Great crowd, great vibe. Looks like GRTV was there to tape the set and the evening in general, so I'll look into getting a copy of that uploaded and embedded soon.

Congrats to Drew Nelson for winning Album of the Year!

At the end of this report, you can hear the band performing "Alone With Him."



A complete list of finalists and award winners.

John Sinkevics with a write-up and a YouTube clip with a few moments of Love's Still Wild. Can't argue with the lead pic from his blog article.



Bowery, congratulations on your two Jammies!

Big Week

Lots of opportunities to enjoy Chance Jones in a variety of forms this week.

First off, tomorrow night at the B.O.B. Chance Jones sets sail on their second of TEN consecutive Wednesday night performances. Last week saw a staggering 31 song set unleashed on the unsuspecting. Looking for a great introduction to the band? This is a good night to dig in. Heck, bring a uninitiated friend to experience the majestic mysticism. Or cynicism. Your choice.

Maybe they will play this...



Thursday night brings an old-skool acoustic performance at Founders, along with acoustic Nathan Kalish, Frontier Ruckus, and Jes Kramer. And as usual with all Thursdays at Founders, there is no cover charge. Technically, you could see Chance Jones for FREE, but I know you. You'll want a beer or four.

Finally, Saturday night brings the Coyote premiere at the UICA. Joel Potrykus presents his second Super 8 film short to Grand Rapids, and you can be there for a measly $4. Did you know that Chance Jones contributed a brand new song to the soundtrack? Did you know that the film stars some guy named Joshua Burge? You simply can't miss this one.

So there you have it. A pretty good week to be a fan. Plus, an amazing discovery from the ancient past was unearthed in the far off orient. What does this have to do with our fearless ensemble? It wouldn't be a tease if I told you...

Amazing night of music from Chance Jones and AB & Coconut Brown. I'm exhausted still. Four hours of rock, quick transitions between sets, phenomenal energy. Taped all four sets from both bands, but I'm concerned that only one tape turned out. Soundboard patched again. And all of this was FREE? Great, great night of music.

Here is a video of "Love's Alright" that I shot with a soundboard patch. Unfortunately the second set did not turn out well. The good news is that many people recorded the show, so hopefully a good recording will turn up. Watch for more videos from the show as we approach the holiday season.

Love's Alright

In celebration of tomorrow's big show, here's a video I shot at Founders back in July with a soundboard patch. The video is a little rough, but the audio is pretty clear.
