Dan Israel will be celebrating the release of his 9th album (and quite possibly his best work yet) Turning along with Molly Maher, Stook! and Martin Devaney (who heads up Dan’s label, Eclectone Records).

Joining Dan will be an all-star cast as well:

Marc Perlman (Jayhawks, Golden Smog), Dave Boquist (Son Volt), JoAnna James, Molly Maher, Martin Devaney, Janey Winterbauer (Astronaut Wife, Basement Apartment, Golden Smog), Andra Suchy (Honeydogs, the Dollys), Stook!, pedal steel maestro John Schjolberg, Jon Duncan (Trailer Trash), Jenny Russ (Holiday Ranch), Jeff Kleinbaum, and, of course, the Cultivators - Dave Russ and Kris Bowring.
