Olly Neasham (pictured above), hailing from Bolton, UK (north of Manchester), is coming to the West Coast to do some shows.
Olly has played England’s edition of International Pop Overthrow Festival before, but now he would be travelling the West Coast. Following this whole “Underground Garden”, we-are-all-connected kinda vibe, the director of the IPO, David Bash, tagged me and said we might connect as this guy is looking to book some more shows to help fill up his calendar in the U.S. .
So…here’s what we got for him in the Fresno area:
He’s opening the show for the Post-ArtHop party at Tokyo Garden on Thursday, August 5th.(9:30ish?)
On FRIDAY, August 6th, with the gracious help of [musician, promoter, all-around-good-guy] Steve Ono and the Fresno Folk Society, we’ve got a show that
includes sets by myself, Steve, Omar of Ballad: The Memory, and, of course Olly Neasham.
Then, Neasham moves on to some IPO fest shows:
Los Angeles–Aug.7th
Portland–Aug.11
Seattle–Aug.18
Whichever area you live in….check this travelling songwriter out!
Hopefully, we’ll meet him again as The Trike Shop travels back to England in Late Spring 2011.
