Brownbird Rudy Relic with Blind Boy Paxton and Ernie Vega at Jalopy next Friday, April 9th! Brownbird is a fantastic persona-performer- I first saw him at the Brooklyn Country Music Festival a couple of years ago. Sit in the third row- he’s a belter and he’s likely to climb out into the audience and play a tune sitting on your lap. This will be a great night at Jalopy!
