a couple of great free shows in louisville...

apparently....

pollstar has teddy thompson listed as the headlining performer for october 27th's waterfront wednesday. while it is not listed on teddy's site or wfpk's site, wfpk lists vhs or beta as the headliner for the show so i'm not sure if there is a cancellation or schedule change for some reason. vhs or beta's website does not list them in louisville on the 27th and shows them playing in puerto rico on the 28th, which could be tough to pull off if they played late here on the 27th. pollstar tends to be very accurate, i'm sure hoping it is correct.

already announced is the phenomenal local talent, ben sollee opening the show @ 6:00PM, followed by seepeoples @ 7:30, here's hoping teddy is the closer @ 9:00PM (btw, nothing against vhs or beta).
