Deceptively quiet Americana complicater Goodtime John launches his debut album Brought Four Ways Out of Town this weekend with two quite special gigs.

First is an in-store in Dublin’s Road Records (Fade Street, off George’s Street) on Thursday, May 15th (tonight) at 7.30, where he’ll be accompanied by frequent co-conspirator Glenjamin (who, when he is not busy having a Good Time, is also a member of Connect 4 Orchestra and The Redneck Manifesto).

And next is the album’s official launch on Saturday May 18th, at a special daytime gig in that great home of amazing daytime gigs, Whelans. Doors are at 1.30pm, the first band is on at 2 and speaking of first bands John will be supported by The Dudley Corporation (in deep disguise as a posh acoustic band for the afternoon) and The Last Post, who themselves are expecting their second album in June.

Four Ways Out Of Town is on Volta Sounds.
