Mr. Webley has done it again. In case you haven’t caught on to the theme, this is his 5th out of 11 proposed collaborative albums being released on his label Eleven Records. Only 1,111 copies will ever be made. So order now folks because Jason says there are only about a 100 left. He’s also just released the music video for Days With You and made an announcement of his “Eleven Year Anniversary Extravaganza!” being held July 3rd at the Seattle Town Hall. Tickets, of course, are $11. If you can only make one Jason Webley concert, make this one. Most of the artists Jason has worked with over the last eleven years will be present, and I’m betting that even Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls will be there. (If you didn’t know, the two of them have worked together under the name Evelyn Evelyn).

And don’t forget to check out the new album. “Gypsy guitar wizard” Sxip Shirey and the accordion-playing vagabond have come up with some surprisingly beautiful numbers, especially a new rendition of Webley’s Almost Time to Go.
