This week's show; Billy Jonas in Boston

This week is an archived show, as I'm in DC. We'll be back live on the 14th.

Just got word that Billy Jonas is playing a show in the Boston area later this month. We've played Billy on the show (What Kind of Cat Are You? is probably my favorite song of his) and it'll be a fun show. Here are some parts of the press release:

The Audience is the Main Instrument at a Billy Jonas Concert
Billy and his band will perform a family concert at
the Regent Theatre, Arlington, MA
Saturday, January 21st 10:30 am

Billy Jonas is a singer/songwriter, guitarist and industrial re-percussionist whose primary instrument is the audience. For this special show, Billy will bring in a few mystery musical guests to introduce a new Billy Jonas Band.

In singalongs, bangalongs, whisperalongs and improvised songs, Billy leads his audience through interactive explosions of energy, punctuated by moments of lyrical calm.
