Mike Roe "John The Baptist" tour 2008
Lo-Fidelity Presents:
Mike Roe - The "John The Baptist" tour, 2008. Please join us as "Mike tours to prepare the way for the 77's..."
We are happy to announce that Mike will make a brief solo return to the road, playing both acoustic and electric, to debut material from the soon to be released new 77's recording featuring their take on some very elderly (and recent) obscure (and familiar) American blues/gospel/bluegrass tunes. Mike had this to say about the tour:
"I am excited to try and play as much of the new album as I can so folks can get an idea of the kinds of songs we did and how we did 'em. Since everyone has been waiting for two years to hear this, hopefully my little recital will be a fun appetizer while we're all waiting for the main course. Mmmmmmm......such a tasty treat!"

Tour Starts Tonight!
Just a quick reminder that the Mike Roe "John The Baptist" tour starts tonight! Please note that there is still limited seating available for the Aurora, Nashville, Springfield, and Rock Island concerts. All other concerts will have tickets available at the door.
With that in mind, Lo-Fidelity Records is offering 2 complimentary sets of tickets, 2 tickets in each set, for anyone who would like to come to the Aurora IL. show this evening. If you are interested, and 100% sure you can come, please contact jeffrey k. @
jeffrey@lo-fidelity.com before 2pm today for details on getting your free tickets.
We are also thrilled to announce that as an added bonus to each of these concerts, the 77's have agreed to allow their newly recorded album to be played over the PA after Mike finishes his set. If you can make it to a show, please plan on sticking around to chat with Mike and hear the new record! (The album will not be for sale...this is just a sneak preview!)
