The town of Athens, Ga., has never been shy about celebrating its local musicians. From Drive-By Truckers to the B-52's to Neutral Milk Hotel to The Whigs, the enormity of the Athens music scene is outstanding by most any standard, and musician Jim White has long been a formidable part of it.
White (a recent Paste Artist of the Week) recently released the awesome Transnormal Skiperoo, and now he's begun to do what musicians do and tour in support of the record. He's visiting the West coast right now, so if you're reading this and live out there, grab some tickets soon.
And for the uninitiated:
The West Coast is the best coast:
March:
26 - Santa Cruz, Calif. @ The Crepe Place
27 - San Francisco, Calif. @ Great American Music Hall
29 - Portland Ore. @ Lola's Room
30 - Seattle, Wash. @ Tractor Tavern
