Poltzmania Returns To Schubas
Steve Poltz is not a blog darling, he doesn't have a new record out, he's not part of a buzz-worthy tour package and frankly he's not getting any younger. But even with all these strikes against him he's headlining (and the only act performing) at Schubas on June 9.
How do people even know who Steve Poltz is you ask? Well it just so happens he co-wrote one of the most popular songs of all time (Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me"). And his band, The Rugburns, had a nice cult following back in the 90's. His solo work has won accolades from some of the biggest/best publications and artists (including Neil Young). At the moment he's working solo, mostly playing smaller clubs and house concerts. On June 9th you can see him at Schubas (which is a lot like a house concert except with cocktail waitresses and hand stamps). Steve's pretty free and easy with his mp3's, so I'll share a couple of my favorite Poltz songs with you.
