November 2011
We just had *The 1st annual, debut, one-off special engagement with Risky Liver, a side project I'm in with Tom Parker, Mike McDermott, Lucien La Motte and Paul Culala. It was great fun, playing some favorite songs from classic country to modern roots. Next show is Friday, 1/6/12!
What is Risky Liver??? As Mike says...
These Old Hands are not Old Hat- Ballard's favorite Bad Pennies bust out a nearly-impromptu set of the best songs you haven't heard in a few days, or less. Joy Mills, Tom Parker, Lucien LaMotte, & Mike McDermott present to you: Risky Liver- a whiskey-fueled foray into classic country, modern folk, and their own teenage cover-band nostalgia. Come see what the fuss is about & cut a rug...
