All Wolf, All Night Long. Poster by Ricardo Acevedo

7 PM, Weds. June 5, I’ll be playing a short set to welcome my good friend, Ace Atkins, to BookPeople. A stunningly talented author, Ace has taken over Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series since the death of that great man, and he also has a new Nick Travers novel out. He’ll be talking about and signing both, Lullaby (Spenser) and The Lost Ones (Nick Travers). For details check the BookPeople site.

7 PM Thurs. June 6, NOIR AT THE BAR at Opal Devine’s. What is Noir at the Bar? OK, it’s like this: Hardboiled crime fiction in a place where people go to drink booze at night. Simple version. Started in Philadelphia a couple years ago. Cool. OK, I’ll be playing and reading with other great authors. Come check out new crime fiction from Peter Farris, Jonathan Woods, and Barry Graham. Books will be available for defacing by dese authors, and thanks to Scott Montgomery at BookPeople for setting this up.

Remember: You can always find a hardbound copy of my true crime and music memoir, NEVER THE SAME AGAIN at BookPeople. My Martin Fender crime novels Rock Critic Murders and Tough Baby are now available on the Amazon Kindle site. Rock Critic Murders is available for your iPad in an enhanced version with lots of music, video and pictures, supercool, go to the iBookstore and check it out now.
The THIRD Martin Fender Novel, Boiled in Concrete, will be available as an eBook in late June or July. Other works are coming soon. Keep rocking!!


RECENT GIGS:

Weds. 11.2.11 Poetry on the Plaza thing at the Harry Ransom Center, doing my upright bass & singing routine in honor of the new Bohemian exhibit there. Cool. The program included three performer/readers: Katy Vine (Texas Monthly) and Molly Schwartzburg, Cline Curator of Literature at HRC. More details later.

GIGS YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT OR MISSED

(NOTE: If you feel like a loser for missing THE SKUNKS last March at Antone’s, watch 2 video clips here, maybe you’ll feel better, hipper, more well-informed, and less likely to miss the next gig.)
