August 5 is the official release date for Mike Gordon’s new studio effort _ The Green Sparrow_. He is currently touring the country in support of this disc with his new quintet that also features Scott Murawski on guitar, drummer Todd Isler, percussionist Craig Myers and Tom Cleary on keys. As a result of all this activity, it seems like the ideal time for Gordon to be the subject of a Jambands.com reader interview. So please send along any questions you may have for him to [email protected] (you have until next Friday, August 8). Our current Jambands.com reader interview with Warren Haynes is now up on the site.

In other Gordon news, the former Phish bassist will play a free in-store store at Richmond, VAs Plan 9 Music tomorrow. That evening he will also appear at Richmonds Toads Place.
