John has been selected to open three shows for the reunited Scud Mountain Boys. Details are available on the shows page.

For those who are unfamiliar, the Scud Mountain Boys, fronted by Joe Pernice (now of the Pernice Brothers), were considered one of the foremost bands of the “alt-country” movement. The band split in 1997 and did not perform together again until last August, when three of the four members reunited onstage at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Mass. (John opened the show), leading to the current reunion tour. Here’s a clip of the 3/4-reunited band playing “Freight of Fire” at that very show:

John performed “Confidentially” on The 10! Show on Philadelphia’s NBC 10 to officially kick off the Tiger Pop Ten Tour last week. Check out the clip below:
