The return of Days Of The New to Louisville is not quite the major event it was back in the Nineties, when Travis Meeks was putting tunes on the national chart. When he plays Jim Porter's on May 18, the usual question will arise: will he show up and play? Will he be straight. Some folks go for the music, others for the possibility of a drug-fueled meltdown. Either way, Meeks usually produces some kind of show. Check with Porter's for ticket info.
