Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

What: Kelly Hogan Performance

When: Monday, August 13, 2012. Doors open at 7PM, show starts at 8PM

Where: Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, AZ

Why: Kelly Hogan knows the audacity of favors. But if you're going to make an album, starting with a fantasy batch of songwriters and ending with a fantasy band is a hell of a way to go about it. 

For I Like to Keep Myself in Pain, her first solo album in 11 years, Hogan started by writing 40 fan letters, buttering up songwriter friends like Andrew Bird, Robyn Hitchcock, and Vic Chesnutt to ask for contributions. Hogan ended up with more than 30 songs, from M. Ward, the Mekons' Jon Langford, Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt, John Wesley Harding, and Robbie Fulks. 

On Monday, August 13th, the Crescent Ballroom will host Kelly Hogan's show. Doors open at 7PM and show starts at 8PM. Tickets cost $5
