I'm going to start doing solo shows on a regular basis at a beautiful restaurant called Emily's Pub located on Rt. 10 south of Reading, PA towards Morgantown. I'll be playing solo acoustic from 6 to 9 (could change, stay tuned) every OTHER Wednesday starting April 8th, and since Julie will be tending bar while I'm playing, look for her to sit in.



Here are a few tracks recorded at Porter's Pub in Easton, PA on March 20th. Thanks to the Jellsmas for the photo...

I learned I'm Troubled from a live Jerry Garcia Acoustic band tape, although the song itself has deep folk roots.

Here is a medley of a fast version of my song Gone Are Those Days and Lonesome Road Blues, an old blues tune I learned after seeing David Bromberg perform it in 1986.

I wrote Doubt Love a long time ago and Bill has been playing it with me just as long.

Woobie Cat Kitchens remains busy bringing you new live music to listen to on a regular basis and totally free. The Chronology page remains but stuff here on the news page will be updated with every new post, plus you can peruse the archives down at the bottom of this page for past exclusive song postings scattered throughout. Also in the future look for podcasts of more live music from our vaults as well as the return of Black Mountain Underground right here!

Wednesday, March 11, 2009   —  This Saturday - STONE POETS with Tim Carbone/Boris Garcia

Hey Everybody...

This coming Saturday me and the guys in Stone Poets will be opening the show for a great band Boris Garcia. Tim Carbone will also be there, playing with the headline act and us. Tim Carbone is the gifted fiddler from Railroad Earth as well as Phil Lesh & Friends. I've had the pleasure of playing with Tim a few times before, most notably with all the guys in the Shockenaw Mountain Boys (a more traditional bluegrass side-project of Railroad Earth) plus some sat in with Julie and I at Video Jeff's party a few years back. Here is a recording from that day with myself & Julie with Tim Carbone/fiddle, John Skehan/mandolin, Andy Goessling/saxophone, Dave O’Donnell/banjo & Len Mooney/keyboards

Kris Kehr & Friends - Your Dreams denvillejam/2006.mp3
Kris Kehr & Friends - To The Sea denvillejam/2006.mp3
-both thanks to Grateful Todd & Video Jeff and a couple others

Those guys also sat in with LOWdOGS back in the day at the River Street Jazz Cafe (where I'll be playing with Cabinet on April 3rd) That stuff was so much fun, and you bet I am looking forward to this Saturday. Rev, JK & Dr. Dave will also be there. You can get tickets HERE or at the door, show starts a little after 9PM.

Don't forget I'll be at Zeno's with JK & Doc on Sunday, March 15th (and EVERY Sunday)

Next Friday, March 20th I'll be back at Porter's Pub in Easton, PA for a special show with Bill Stetz at 10PM.

Many Thanks!
