I last told you about Dan Tedesco when I went to see him at The Rio Salado Brew Company on Mill Avenue. If you haven’t checked him out yet, it’s now even easier. He will be playing every Sunday in May at RJ’s Sports Grill, which is at 32nd Street and Cactus on the Northwest corner between, Streets of New York and Flowerama. He goes on around 9pm, but I’d get there early to get a good spot. For booking you can e-mail Dan at:
