3 Stone Gossard's Hank Khoir at Teatro Zinzanni

Looks like during a little Pearl Jam downtime prior to the September 21st and 22nd shows in Seattle, Stone Gossard and Mirror Tent Music have teamed up to present The Hank Khoir at Teatro Zinzanni. The Hank Khoir is a collective of musicians assembled by Stone that play old school country songs in the vain of Hank Williams. They have played quite a few shows since the first one back in 2008 at the High Dive, including Tom Morrello's "Get Out the Vote" show at the Showbox prior to Obama's win, The Can Can in March and they even did a couple shows in New York City. Stone Gossard's infatuation with Hank Williams has spawned an awesome conglomerate of locals including Vince Mira, Shawn Smith, Pete Droge, Barb Ireland, Dejha Colantuono, Elaine Summers, Lonnie Marshall, Scribes, Keith Lowe, Branden Harper, DJ Bean, D'Vonne Lewis, Jeff Fielder, Regan Hagar, Skerik & Steve Moore, Hans Teuber and Stone himself. They'll sure to play a bunch of Hank Covers, Johnny Cash covers with Vince Mira in the house, and Stone has written quite a few tunes influenced by old Hank Williams stuff as well. For some reason he scraped the release of his latest solo record, but I believe they still have downloads of a few of those songs out on Pearl Jam's site. This group of musicians including my favorite guitar/banjo whiz Jeff Fielder of Jeff Fielder and the Dinosaurs or Sera Cahoones touring band will surely make for a nice little evening of music. If you haven't heard the Khoir's versions of Prince's 1999, or Mororhead's "Ace of Spades", it's worth checking out. I'm assuming they also have something special planned too as the ticket price is a little high, but I suppose the show is at Teatro Zinzanni's Spiegeltent which is a little fancier than the High Dive and it's cheap PBR. (Taking nothing away from the High Dive at all)
