I know it's early, but they're not available online yet. Nothing listed beyond May.

I thought Gin blew his brains out and only the Blossums were left?

That, plus he was the primary song writer. The remaining guitar player gave an interview bragging about how he still had some of the dead guy's songs they were going to use. Real smooth.

They fired Doug Tompkins in 1992, then he died.

They used his songs to achieve fame and broke up 5 years later.

Tickets go on sale this Friday. To be clear, Hopkins was phenomenal song writer, but contrary to what many believe was not the lead singer. That is Robin Wilson, who's sung on everything. Band that broke into mainstream basically remains intact.

Thank you for posting this. It's a huge step for us and the charity cause to support Louisiana military.

Damn, never knew this. Always figured it was misinformation about Robin Wilson.
