Johnny Dowd @ Buffalo's Mohawk Place, Saturday

Buffalo is just about as close to Toronto as Johnny Dowd is gonna get this year, so see Ithaca's hoodoo man at Mohawk Place Saturday night. 

Happy Birthday Johnny Dowd!

Raising a glass to Johnny Dowd on his day with two tracks off his great new Family Picnic album and one that ain't. Catch him on tour in April.
