Actually one last thing about that show is that Jacob Slichter, the drummer from SemiSonic joined us at the end for some encores. Although he didn't have all those things there on Wednesday. And it was just mostly me and Brad Gordon who accompanies me a lot of piano, trumpet, clarinet, guitar, bass, saxophone, flute etc.

The first night was a 'Words and Music by Dan Wilson' show, so it was like me mostly talking, well not mostly, but telling a lot of stories and playing some stuff I don't always include in my shows. It's Minneapolis, the first, I'm doing three nights at the Cedar Cultural Center. Yeah I just finished a meeting with a friend of mine, about music, and now I'm running to do laundry, so I must be on tour. I know you're at the start of your tour so you're probably very busy. We spoke to Wilson last Friday, after the second of three nights performing in his hometown, Minneapolis, and asked him about his new work, working with Adele, Nas and others, and if he's seen Andy Bernard singing 'Closing Time.' Now, Wilson just started a tour- he's at Joe's Pub tonight and tomorrow night-to support his new acclaimed solo album, Love Without Fear. And, last but not least, for his band Semisonic, Wilson wrote the 1990s anthem 'Closing Time.' Yes, you secretly know all the words to 'Closing Time' (So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits/ I hope you have found a friend/ Closing time/ Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end/ I know who I want to take me home. The singer-songwriter Dan Wilson is behind some of most memorable and catchy songs in the past few decades: He co-wrote 'Someone Like You' with Adele, 'Not Ready To Make Nice' with The Dixie Chicks (which earned them a Grammy) and 'Treacherous' with Taylor Swift.
