Jonny Numb

In the spirit of writing about my recent live-music experiences and how they helped me, I figured I could make a simple post listing other shows on the horizon. Even at this early point in the year, 2023 is shaping up to be quite eventful insofar as interesting tours are concerned.

I guess you could call this “The 2023 Jonny Numb Tour.”

In any case, find the listing below. If you’re reading this and plan on being at any of these shows, feel free to come by and say hi (or not)! I won’t be performing…I won’t have anything to get autographed…but I will – for whatever it’s worth – and with some possible exceptions – be there!

March 19 – Living Dead Girl (Lovedrafts Brewing Co, Mechanicsburg)

March 25 – The Room with Greg Sestero (Midtown Cinema, Harrisburg)*

March 31 – April 2 – Dark Force Fest (Parsippany, NJ)

April 7 – Bikini Kill (Franklin Music Hall, Philly)*

That’s it (for now)!

Really looking forward to the Skinny Puppy show, as this tour is being promoted as their last (yeah…but is it their LAST last?). I picked up a VIP package for me and my childhood friend, who put it best: “this may as well be a religious holiday for us.”

Note: for shows with a *, tickets are either not on sale yet…or I’m waiting for payday to purchase…or I’m tentative…or – in the case of The Cure show – there’s a possibility that all the tickets will be snatched up by bots in the first 5 seconds and I won’t be going at all! (Ain’t Ticketmaster/Live Nation grand?)
