Coco and Lafe, who are buskers you can see routinely around and about Boston during the summer, are doing a live performance on WDVX in front of a live audience tomorrow 4.24), to be broadcast across Tennessee and Kentucky and the whole wide world through a Webcast.
Details: 12 noon eastern (for those in Europe and down under, you’ll have to do the math).
From an email: We’re actually performing at a new, high tech performance venue called “The Square” (as it is located at 4 Market Square in Knoxville, Tennessee). Fred Eaglesmith and Joe Lamay/Sherri Reese will also be performing.
You can connect here or at their Website here.
Good luck, you guys. And if you're sitting in your cube tomorrow at noon with nothing better to do because, oh, I don't know, maybe one of your biggest customers or clients is about to go belly-up, give Coco and Lafe a listen.

Coco and Lafe back in Boston
With the sun and good weather, the people are out on the streets in Boston again.
Tourists, squinting at those tourist maps and Freedom Trail brochures.
Those crazy Christians with their easels and connect-the-dots/color-by-the-numbers brand of salvation.
And I saw today that Coco and Lafe were back, playing their music outside the Borders on Downtown Crossing.
I saw them last year. Nice fun people who love their music and love performing. They play a lot of folksy covers--Bob Dylan, John Prine, Lyle Lovett--plus their own tunes. They have a great song called, Let's Get Away.
The chorus goes like this:
They told me today they were back for the summer, and they'd be playing around Boston today. A schedule of where they're going to be playing can be found on their site.
Busking is tough work. If you see them around stop and give a listen, throw them a dollar or two, or even buy their new CD, Dream Streets, a compilation of their 12 most-requested songs.

Let's get away
And go to China
Let's get away
To Casablanca
Let's get away
Forget the budget
Let's get away
Just you and me

Let's get away
Just you and me

Coco and Lafe
Who the heck needs MBTA radio? Really, it's true, there are too many really good musicians busking out there that give this city so much soul.
Out in Irish Famine Memorial Park outside Borders near Downtown Crossing Coco and Lafe from the Republic of Vermont were playing their playful, earthy songs today at noon.
Lafe started while I was sitting, and he was playing nice picking songs with open chords. When Coco stepped up to the mike and joined in, the crowd formed.
From cocolafe.com: "Coco and Lafe have a vocal chemistry that pays off in friendly, cohesive warmth." They sing original acoustic music, as well as covers by Bob Dylan, John Prine, Lyle Lovett and others.
They'll be at the farmer's market on Copley Square on 10.23, and back at the Irish Famine Park on Wednesday 10.24. Check them out. Request Let's Get Away.
