One of my favorite singers is coming to Israel. Will Oldham (AKA Palace, Palace Music, Palace Brother, Bonnie Prince Billy) is doing some folk/alt-country music, and I personally think he has made some of the most beautiful music there is. He will be doing 3 concerts, there is some more info here. I’m excited!

I got a new CD, by Azure Ray: “Hold on Love”. I first heard of Azure Ray from Nondas (Who else?). Excellent music, I really enjoy it.

We just came back from a great week-end… The Jacob’s ladder festival is all about folk, irish, blues and country music. Lot’s of english speaking people (Mostly from the US and the UK), a lot of music concerts, some were really great (I really liked the Bluegrass music!). It was heaps of fun.

Hey, you can download my songs from iTunes now, here a link to my album. Pretty neat. Ron.
