HowWasTheShow will be on hand at the Turf Club Saturday night, April 1st for the long-awaited release of Chris Koza's CD Patterns. (Chances are good you've been hearing selections from the new album on 89.3 "The Current." ) My preview copy of the new disc is my most-frequently played disc so far in 2006, including the nationally released albums which have come across my desk. Not only did Koza's second album leave me with a serious reaction of "Wow" to its songwriting and presentation, it's just damn enjoyable to listen to.

You will probably like it too.

HowWasTheShow will issue a full report from the Turf after the weekend. Fitzgerald and Coach Said Not To open. Doors at the now smoke-free club are at 9PM.

Get Koza's autograph soon (see the Star Tribune link below) while the lines are still short.
