This will be the last regular Sofa Salon showcase at Joe's Bar for a while. I'm going to be busy with touring and recording for the rest of the year, so I'll concentrate on the Wohnzimmer Konzerte for the rest of 2011. 
Through a mutual friend (and friend of Sofa Salon, Mark Steiner), we decided to have an adventure. Our "For Love And Mayhem" European Tour. We both make soulful, raw folk-rock and alt.country. Come and check out the show. 
Well, Sofa Salon #17 was AMAZING. Thanks to the SAND Journal crew for their organisational nous and all the readers and musicians who made wonderful performances for us. We had a great audience, too. At 6 hours, we were tired and hungry by the end (thank you, felafel!) but it was a very relaxed and lovely day.
Our musicians were: Roller One, Monty Sparrow, Waywardbreed, Andrew
McCubbin and the Hope Addicts and Jimmy Tait. Our performers included Sunny the Magosopher, C.M Scholler, Becky Crook, Julian Smith-Newman, Sophia La Fraga and Shane Anderson. Check out the web links on the right to get a further fix of goodness. We witnessed incredibly moving moments, wry, sly and, surreal and funny moments. And everyone enjoyed the marvellous hof at Pedram's apartment. Thank you all.
Sam Cooney took some great photos and posted them on this blog and his other blog. Matti Ernstmeier posted some images on Facebook. We got mentioned on übercool Berlin events blog Sugarhigh!
I think there will be more Sofa Salon/SAND collaborations in the future.
