Nick Lowe is playing Maxwell's & other tour dates
"I've known Nick over 30 years," Hitchcock said of his label mate, "and we live about two miles away from each other. Nick is a master of putting a lot into a very small space, but not making it sound crowded, and he's probably got better at it as time goes by. But unlike me, I think Nick has changed enormously over the years. Listening to something like 'So It Goes' or 'Heart of the City' and then listening to stuff off 'At My Age,' like 'Long Limbed Girl' and 'I Trained Her to Love Me' -- I'm not sure I'd even recognize him as the same vocalist.As previously announced, Nick Lowe is playing Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom with Robyn Hitchcock on April 9th. Nick is also playing a show at Maxwell's in May (and a show for the Tribeca Film Festival). All dates below...."His stuff now to me sounds like some sort of sophisticated silver-age nightclub music from the late '50s, something from the smoke age, to be sure," Hitchcock continued, "whereas I think my stuff essentially always harks back to the Beatles of 1967 -- that's my bedrock year. Nick's just two or three years older than me, so I think his bedrock year might be a little bit earlier. I always imagine his music being cut at some old analog studio in Memphis or something. You expect this engineer to come out and show you some marvelous three-inch tape they've got or some seven-track desk that has been there since Doc Pomus was on hand." [San Francisco Chronicle]

I heard he cancelled his 3:00 PM show for the Tribeca Film Festival. Not sure though.

Sometimes Maxwell's will have 2 sets in one night; Lowe might be playing the early show. Does anyone have definite info about this? When will tickets go on sale? This should be a great show.

And another question- is this Nick Lowe solo or is he with his band?

Lowe is part of a different set.
but I would suggest staying to see Thing-One (who are headlining the night). Cool band, cool harmonies and a fun time. Been around for some time now.

Last night's Manhattan show was fantastic - it was a solo show, he's in great form, the sound was perfect, and the special guest was an extra treat! Snap up those Maxwells tickets if you can.

Got my Maxwells ticket. So glad i waited and did not get a ticket for last nights show. Glad to hear it was great but Maxwells will be a million times better im sure. I am excited
