On Saturday May 4th I made my way down to Free Times Cafe for another one of Dr. B’s Open Mic events at Free Times Cafe. You might recall that last time I was there I had the esteemed pleasure of being joined by Brain Morgan, Lynda Kraar and Jaime Valentine who hopped in on Girls Like Me to create a very cool folk-country rendition of that song.
This time, I opted to play State Lines since after the mic I was heading to Scotiabank Arena for the Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service 20th anniversary show and I’m very excited to be able to say that the crew was down to jump in on this one, too.
I love what they bring to these songs and I hope we can continue to explore them in this way in the future. If you missed it, I recorded the performance and you can grab it on YouTube.
As a mini bonus, today I also whipped together a little acoustic cover of Death Cab for Cutie’s “You Can Do Better Than Me.” It’s the last one I’ll be putting out as part of the Death Bus for Blondie project for a little while but likely not the last ever. Catch it on my Instagram page or TikTok.
