Leave it to a guy with a pony tail, an acoustic guitar and (I assume) a large collection of well worn John Denver records to preach the ills of 9 to 5 doldrums, materialistic desires and wearing shoes. OK, OK. I made the shoe wearing part up. To the best of my knowledge, Kurt Prond has nothing against wearing shoes — though he certainly looks and sounds the part of a guy who’d go over well with the co-op shopping, off-the-grid minds I came to know and love while spending time in Olympia. He’s like James Taylor with a Subaru or two Paul Simons stacked on top of one another slowly strumming songs about why it sucks to have a job. OK, OK. I don’t know if Prond has a Subaru, either. But the rest of that was true.

Tonight, Prond will take the stage at the Mandolin Cafe. Tomorrow he'll grace the stage at the New Frontier.
