Hi Audrey, Sorry to hear you haven't made it down for any shows this year. I think we've had some good acts in 2007, and I'll give you a short list (a few of them are listed as favorites on your MySpace page): The Roots Of Montreal Sparklehorse Sarah Silverman Ben Kweller The Presidents of the USA George Clinton Lebowskifest w/Har Mar Superstar Bright Eyes Lily Allen Son Volt Paolo Nutini Janeane Garofalo The Frames Stephen and Damian Jr. Gong Marley The Long Winters Blonde Redhead/Annuals Peeping Tom Kaiser Chiefs/The Walkmen The Blood Brothers Jarvis Cocker LCD Soundsystem/YACHT Arctic Monkeys Circus Contraption Andrew Bird Blue Scholars Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Dinosaur Jr. Ben Gibbard Robin Williams Citizen Cope Oh, and those cancelled shows? Those artists cancelled their tours (or at least entire legs of them); we had nothing to do with it. Glad to see you're going to make it to a few shows this fall. Stop by and say hi, I'd love to meet you in person! Sincerely, Brian McFadin Promotions Manager The Showbox

you forgot to mention that james morrison sucks. his popularity is irrelevant. that he's opening for john mayer says everything.

Who is James Morrison....Um... you might want to look into that, he is one of the most popular musicians in the UK, if not THE most popular right now. He finally released his CD in the states a couple of months back, and is taking the US by storm. He is opening up for John Mayer on his Summer Tour. He played in Seattle three months ago and sold out the show. Please do a lil research before you make posts like that again. Also, I feel like I have never been to so many shows at the Showbox in my life. I have gone to Mat Kearny and Citizen Cope, I had purchased James Morrison Tickets, and I'm going to Ne-Yo on Sunday. All this year!
