Bill Callahan coming to Lex



Moments after posting a barfly overview of newish Lexington club Cosmic Charlie's, I caught wind that Sprouse House Productions (aka Nick Sprouse, former general manager of The Dame who went his own way to form his own promotion company in recent months) is bringing BILL CALLAHAN to the club with Lights on Monday December 7.

In the opinion of someone (aka myself) not typically apt to tout singer/songwriters, Bill Callahan is a superb contemporary singer/songwriter, in the vein of Jim O'Rourke and Leonard Cohen - yeah, he does stripped down heartstring tuggers, and he does them really really well. His most recent album 'Sometimes I wish we were an Eagle' comes highly recommended; and check out his older stuff while you're at it.

Kudos to Sprouse House; sincerely excited for this one.
