We are playing at Lollapalooza! HOLY CARP

Yes it’s true ladies and gents. The great festival in August is putting on an Ezra Furman & the Harpoons show. I don’t quite know how it happened that our weird little songs became popular enough that the Lollapalooza people would want to have a stage for them, but I guess some dreams are intense enough that they become real. I feel so honored to have this recognition. I always believed and doubted it could happen with equal violence. August 9th, my dears. Grant Park. You’re all invited.

In more current events, the MYSTERIOUS DELIRIOUS tour marches on and is almost finished. It’s State College PA on Weds. and then Asbury Park NJ on Fri., and that’s it. It’s been wild and weird, a crazy adventure that has been incredibly gratifying. I’m not sick of this at all. I love being in this band.

I’ve been reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. That says it all. I guess I’ll see you soon… lots of wonderful things are happening this summer, and I will try to write more on this blog and tell you all about them. There is really a lot of joy in our job, the job of minstrels, and I’m happy I can share all of this with the world in my own way.

Love Ezra
