Hot Tickets

Okay, summer slowly gettin' here but it's been HOT at Birdman for months !!

Our man Chetley Weise from Auburn, Alabama and formerly of Immortal Lee County Killers, Quadrajets and currently fronting the awesome San Fran based Silver Lions 20/20 played a deadly FREE set of electric blues in the shop this past Saturday ! Some wicked delta raunch which included songs by Burnside, Hooker and Howlin' Wolf to name a few. A crowd of about 25 folks witnessed how the spirit of Skip James is alive and well, residing in the body of the "Cheetah" ! Thanks dude, we'll have ya in our house anytime !

Lotsa cool used records making there way in to the shop these days and again I say feel free to trade stuff in for new tunes ! The better ya bring, the better ya git !

A shitload of new stuff 2 or 3 times a week as arrivals makes Birdman the happenin' spot in the hood for all the important musical scores...diggin' new stuff BIGTIME from the likes of Sir Richard Bishop, Church Of Misery, Trembling Bells, Life On Earth, The George Edwards Group, Black Math Horsemen, , Weird Owl and tons more !!
