“What. Do. You. Want?”

He sighed. “Look, I’ve got an idea for a new sort of show. Three extra shows.”

“Three?” Zeke sputtered.

“And I want to call in some favors. It’s for charity.”

“So you want to get people to come out last minute in August, to do shit for free? Am I following you?”

He folded an arm behind his head. “Yeah.”

“Well, then you better go for the hungry ones.”

“I was thinking Cole Deveraux.”

“He’s a bit country, but I know a guy that’s toured with him. I’ll give him a shout.”

“Good. I think I’m going to pull the lever on that favor from Nash too.”

“Jesus. You’ve been holding onto that for years.”

He wanted a good show. Alexander Nash was happy to hide in the clubs in New York underground. Getting him there would give the shows a much needed buzz. And his friend an overdue kick in the ass. He was too good to squirrel away in his anti-social community.

“I’ve already got Lindz from Brooklyn Dawn. I know she’ll do the extra shows.”

“Oh, man. That sweet blond? You gotta do some duets.”

Zeke was thinking now. Maybe the bartender was being light-handed on the rum. “I bet she’d kill doing a Faith song or—”

“No, you guys gotta cover Lady Antebellum. You can do those lower registers and she can sing like a damn angel.”

Logan snapped his fingers. “I knew I called you for a reason. We need some songs for the young crowd and the older. A good mix of well-known covers.”

“Who else are you tapping?”

“Cage.”

Zeke whistled. “You sure you want that prick on stage with you?”

“He’s a good guy.”

“Dude, he busted one of my crowns.”

Logan twirled his pen between his fingers. “You hooked up with the girl he was with.”

“I can’t help it if she has taste and went for the more charming, much more handsome one of us.”

“And this is why you are hated throughout the land, son.”

“More like loved, my friend. But this isn’t about me and the ladies. Well, it could be if Lindz will have me.”

“She already told you to buzz off.”

Zeke sighed heavily. “I could change her mind.”

“Or end up wearing one of her stilettos as an accessory.”

“Eh, I only look good in magenta, not the pale pinks.”
