: With the lack of advertising material from Lost Highway at the Attic in Boston and the post from Jeff Bond about the poorly attended Raleigh show, is it possible that Lost Highway is not supporting David Baerwald enough? �I signed up at the Lost Highway site about 2 weeks ago for their "Highway Street Team" based on this invite on their site: "Our goal is to reach out to educate everyone possible about our artists. We'll spread the good word at a grass-roots level, targeting concerts, lifestyle locations (vintage clothing stores, clubs, indie/modern rock bars, coffee bars, used bookstores, funky art galleries, etc.) and anywhere it makes sense for our artists. Join the team to be the flag-bearer for the Lost Highway artists."
