Surprise! David Mead is coming!

You wouldn't know it by looking at his website, but David Mead will be playing a seemingly-last minute show at The Pour House this Sunday, Sept. 10. Bill West will open the early show (doors at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m.). Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door.

We wish we could go, but Tom Petty and the Black Crowes are calling us over at Walnut Creek. Mead's presence has been growing in Raleigh over the past year, as have the crowds at his shows, but if you still need some convincing, head on over to his MySpace page and listen to a few tracks off his most recent album, Tangerine. And let us know how the show was!
