Mike Viola was a New York City fixture for years, first with his band
The Candy Butchers and then on his own.   A couple of years ago he
moved to LA and his appearances in New York are now fewer and farther
between.  But Mike's in town tomorrow night at Joe's Pub and I
recommend that you take the opportunity to see him live.  You might
already know him as the voice singing That Thing You Do in the movie of
the same name.  But if you don't, here's a murky video clip of Mike
(along with singer-songwriter Jim Boggia) musically free associating before he gets to that previously mentioned
song:

Mike Viola, Joes Pub (F Train to Broadway-Lafayette, walk north on Lafayette Street, or 6 Train to Astor Place), Thursday August 20, 9:30pm, $15
