If you were as disappointed as I was when the news broke that Rocky Votolato wouldn't be coming to town because 321 Art Space closed down, this will come as good news.
The Seattle singer-songwriter is set to play July 16 in Walla Walla at the Red Eye Bar & Grill. Show time is at 6:30 p.m. and doors open at 5 p.m., but Rick Mugrage, Joe Keown and Derdan Guy will be opening. Tickets are $10 and are available at the bar or at Hot Poop in Walla Walla.
For more information or to reserve a ticket, call 509-529-3355.
If you haven't heard Votolato, he used to be in the punk outfit Waxwing who put out a few albums in the early part the decade. But he's gotten a little softer and took to the acoustic route with two widely lauded albums in Brag and Cuss, and Makers.
