Lifted directly from a Cal Speedway newsletter:

"On Sunday (September 21), Performing on the IRL stage on the midway: The Peter Mayer band.

Singer/Songwriter Peter Mayer has built a fervent following in the US, stepping outside his role as one of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefers to front his own band, the Peter Mayer Group.

Blending a unique and eclectic writing style, a distinctive voice, and virtuoso musicianship, guitarist Mayer and his band create compelling and inspirational music that you won't want to miss on Toyota Indy 400 race day at California Speedway.


FYI, the midway is outside the track gates, and parking is free. I have tickets to sell for the event (the "crapwagon" race) at below ticket office price if anyone is interested.

I will be on the grounds, but I'm not going to the race (it's a matter of principle).

Peter is great, haven't seen him in concert (not with Buffett that is), but I have heard some of his songs and they are great. He's got a great voice

I encourage anyone in the area to go to this concert...I have seen The Peter Mayer Group many times ( 15 +) in the past 4 years since I became aware of what he does apart from JB. I have NEVER been disappointed!!! See for yourself...just anoather great thing about Buffett's music...and being a parrothead...I have learned about other great musicians and shows! I just ask that you go with an open mind and don't expect to hear JB music...Peter's is great too!!! Give it a chance...

I got word from the Speedway PR department yesterday that PM has cancelled the date, and instead they will have 2 other bands.

To me, it's just another broken promise from TG and the IRLista.

Well, I guess I just have to wait another 6 days before I hear him play.
