Kelly Joe Phelps drops off Jill Sobule bill

Guitarist Kelly Joe Phelps has dropped off the Calliope double bill with Jill Sobule Saturday night at Carnegie Lecture Hall due to personal reasons.

Sobule, a quirky singer-songwriter who hit with "I Kissed a Girl" in 1995 (before Katy Perry's version), will be joined by Mia Dyson, an Australian blues-rocker who's toured with Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, and Joe Cocker.

I was still scratching my head over why Jill Sobule and Kelly Joe Phelps were on the same bill anyway. This girl power bill might make a little more sense.

According to Calliope director Patricia Tanner, "We will issue a refund to those folks that purchased the ticket to see Kelly Joe but Mia will blow them away."
