Saw him live at the Middle East Restaurant and Night Club in Cambridge, MA back around 2006. Nothing special but he's got some candy corn songs and chicks where into it. Ended up getting a room so the date was a successful investment.
Reminds me... gotta get some new walking shoes for the summer. The trusty ones that have been around need to be retired. I hate to give up some old shoes that are broken in but it's time to purge.
Another memory of bands seen at the Middle East was Luna on their Pup Tent tour(?). Lou Reed-ish like.

Great stretch of Mass Ave around there. Not far down the street were a couple of places I frequented, but more so in the 70's. The Plough and Stars was a great place, and they knew how to pour a Black and Tan properly. Right across the street was the Orson Wells Theater. Might have been where I saw Pink Flamingos (second post I've mentioned that movie this week!), Cantab Lounge, where you could prime the pump with shot of Old T and a beer...
Tons of music, blues, jazz, amazing stretch from Central Square to Harvard Square
