Don’t forget Cincy folks, tonight at The Southgate House in Newport, singer songwriter Daniel Johnston will be performing. This will be my first time catching Daniel live so I’m excited to take in a set from him. Daniel has written so many great songs that have been covered by so many artists that have a deep respect for his music. This was probably best represented on the 2004 double disc, The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered.

The album featured a disc of Daniel’s music and another disc of all cover songs. Among those that contributed cover songs were Bright Eyes, TV On The Radio, M. Ward, Beck and The Flaming Lips.

So head on over to the Southgate House tonight for what should be a great night of music. Also performing is local singer songwriter Matthew Shelton, I am looking forward to his set as well.
