PJ Show

Pigeon John
Last night I saw Pigeon John open for Subtle at the Nightlight here in Bellingham. His crazy energy and humor combined with his always-improving rhymes made for a really great show. He was accompanied by a live drummer, and another fella playing an acoustic guitar and keyboards. The songs he chose ranged from the albums "Pigeon John...Is Dating Your Sister" (2003) to "Pigeon John...Sings The Blues" (2005), and a whole bevvy of hits from his newest album, "Pigeon John...And The Summertime Pool Party" released last Summer. He danced, joked, rapped, sang, even played a little guitar himself. If you haven't heard any of PJ's work, let me know and I'll hook you up with some tasty treats. Also, you can check out his website http://www.pigeonjohn.com. I recommend picking up Pool Party and Sings The Blues to get you started too. You will be hard-pressed to find another MC who so smoothly blends humor, skill, spirituality, energy, and humility as well as PJ does. Enjoy.
