I’d like to suggest more shows and tours to check out via the blog since most of you are probably too busy to check the local venues weekly. Scott and I have been posting about Benoit probably more than any other musician on here. Below are dates for his first official tour w/ Windy & Carl besides a handful of shows in the past few years. I’ll try and get some words from him about the shows and his setup soon.

Hello,
I am a long-time reader of this blog and I had to mention Benoit Pioulard was extremely disappointing to me when I saw him live. I loved his albums and was really disappointed when he just improv layered feedback in the live setting. Don’t go expecting the LP songs.
Hmmm, If you’re able please ask him if he’ll stop by his home state… I just noticed he hails from Oregon and I am currently in Portland for school. Would be nice to see him live…
nah i’m gonna do some actual songs this time around..
hopefully not such a bummer.
I’m going to try and make it out to the Toronto show from Ottawa. Benoit is one of the awesome gems I’ve discovered from this blog.
Hmm I have an eye doctor appointment that day. I may see about coming out sporting the non-glasses look!
Oh I am so there…favorite song of his is Golden Grin of Temper.
And Haverford??? I didn’t even notice it til I looked again, that’s such a random spot, it’s 15 minutes outside of Philadelphia in the burbs.
can’t wait till may 2, will be the best birthday present(actual birday is on the 10th though) ever to see all these amazing preformes live! can’t wait, and since 529 is some what a new venue will be pretty cool checking out the place, and scott have any surpirses on what tunes you are going to be preforming there for us?
