It’s interesting that Catie Curtis is performing tonight at Uncle Calvin’s and Melissa Ferrick performs tomorrow. It’s not uncommon to see them on the same bill together. They even teamed up as One Long Earring, a sort of lesbian folk supergroup. Both are on their own this weekend on opposite sides of town.
Ferrick released Still Right Here in September and it’s been riding the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart rather nicely, debuting at the 35 position. Now she and her peeps are trying to land it in the top 20. That might happen after you check out her show Saturday at Poor David’s Pub.
Lesley Godlberg did a fantastic interview with Ferrick in March 2010 for AfterEllen.com. I don’t think I ever realized Ferrick’s song “Drive” was considered a lesbian classic. So hopefully she’ll include it as part of her set list Saturday.
The venue is also hosting a costume party with prizes awarded. Not sure if that will distract much from the show, but what the hell — it’s Halloween.
DEETS: With Elizabeth Wills and Vandaveer. Poor David’s Pub, 1313 S. Lamar St. 7:30 p.m. $16. PoorDavidsPub.com.
