If you missed Jandek’s stellar performance during SXSW, here’s another chance. Saturday, July 21, the Tall Pale One plays Fort Worth’s historic Rose Marine Theater, just north of downtown. Tickets can be purchased at Good Records in Dallas, or at our own beloved End of an Ear.

And the backing band – Susan Alcorn on pedal steel and guitar, Ralph White on banjo/fiddle, Ryan Williams of the Baptist Generals on bass, and Will Johnson of Centro-Matic on drums – ain’t too shabby either. Hurry!
