I know what you’re thinking… It’s probably about time for another a craft brew night at Pickering, right? Well, sort of. Thirsty Thursday is here, but the offerings at Pickering tonight go beyond the tastebuds as area native Jim Salinger, who now calls LA his home and who has been dubbed an “emerging L.A. indie troubadour” by last.fm, will be playing two acoustic sets at the watering hole from 6-8 p.m. I’m proud to say I went to high school with Jim and am very happy that his career is taking off (hell, the guy’s song “Awoken” was featured on One Tree Hill, not that I watch that drivel… here’s a clip:
(Oh that silly Lucas Scott and his mohawk!! Mmmmm, Brooke Davis….)
Jim, who grew up in Audubon (now known as Adubs or the ADB), has been on the left coast for a while now, but usually ventures home around the holidays. This year’s visit is a welcome change of pace since he’s performing as well. You can check out his new album at his Web site: jimsalinger.com.
And if that doesn’t get you to come out and check out one of his sets, here’s two other reasons: It’s FREE and there won’t be any baseball because the WFC’s have cemented their spot in the Fall Classic by clobbering the Dodgers last night.
Oh, and the Pickering will be having another Craft Brew Night next Thursday (10/29) but we’ll have more on that later.
