MARTIN TIELLI kicks off his tour this Wednesday. Wherever possible, we tried to make the shows a bit earlier, so please note showtimes. The beautiful Christine Fellows opens all dates, and she and her amazing viola player, Monica Guenter, will be joining the band (Ford Pier, Greg Smith, and Barry Mirochnick) for part of Martin's set as well. Get ready for some Nick Buzz tunes never before performed live! Here's the poop:
