The incredibly talented guitarist and genuinely nice guy, last seen smashing a Les Paul on VH1’s Rock Honors: The Who, will rock a couple of small Seattle clubs in August. McCready’s killer UFO tribute band, Flight to Mars—until now an exclusively annual benefit act—will turn up at an El Corazon-hosted Seattle Tattoo Expo afterparty on the 8th. (They’ll support Duff McKagen’s new band, Loaded.) On August 27, McCready’s Shadow 86 (his first band, reunited after 20 years) plays an early show—a Jimmy Jimi Hendrix Tribute, people!—at the Tractor. If you want to see one of the planet’s best axemen go to work on a tiny stage, we suggest you get your tickets right now.

Around The -Ists This Week

Hey, I could have gone with James. Or Johnny.
Or just spelled it correctly. No idea how I effed that up. Not enough coffee.
