The Backyard Dusk

[July 9, 2005: In case anyone has this page bookmarked, I've just added a new post with an updated concert list that supercedes the data in this list. (Why didn't I just update this post? It's because I prefer to keep a changelog of the concerts, instead of replacing the old info. It gives a better sense of the show history.]

I've been checking the Merge Records site every couple of days this week, and it finally paid off. Scads of new Buckner concerts! Some of these have already passed, but I'll leave them in for reference's sake. Go get your tickets...looks like the shows with Anders Parker have come to a close, but interestingly, RB is playing (supporting?) Clem Snide for a couple of Dutch concerts.

A belated but sincere thanks to Randy in S.C. for clearing up the mystery about RB's booking agent. Here's what Randy said in a post to the Doubters list in April (reprinted here with permission):

I just saw Magnolia Electric Co. in Asheville at the Grey Eagle Tavern and spoke with the guys there about the upcoming Buckner show(s). It seems like Rick is without a booking agent and is setting up this tour himself....

All I can say is, way to go, Rick...although, on the downside of things, it looks like Pollstar is a little slow picking up the new dates. So check the Merge site for his latest tour info.
