peppering

After a whole bunch of years, I can finally put that question to rest. My record-label-owning-spouse has just signed a woman!
 
Hooray for Jackpine Social Club and hooray for the lovely and gorgeous Melody Baldwin-Baroz. She still plays in The Bellyachers as well as her solo works, notably at Jackpine's live (and sometimes recorded) events at Thee Parkside, including this coming Sunday.  
 
Nick says, "Her voice kills me kills me kills me. She's not indie rock, but more in a Gillian Welch meets Emmylou meets Patty Griffin thing." Melody is set to bring down the house at Cafe Du Nord, opening for John Langford this Tuesday.
 
Meanwhile, I guess I'll have to find something else to bitch about. Like Rosie the Riveter may have said, "I can do it!"
