Howie Day Opening

By Waldo Jaquith
According to Howie Day's website, he'll be opening for DMB on 07/17 and 07/21 at the Selma, TX and the West Palm Beach, FL shows, respectively. Junior Brown was originally slated to be opening at the latter show, though no opener had been announced for Selma. The twenty-year old independent artist is known for his unusual guitar-and-loops style, and has gained a large following of DMB fans in recent months. Thanks to Valerie for the tip. [6:20pm Update: Shawn Radley, Howie Day's manager, just e-mailed us about this. Despite that Howie Day's site says that he's opening for DMB, it's not true. He's just playing a sidestage.]
