For those of you who have seen Crazy Heart or The Fabulous Baker Boys, you might have noticed that Jeff Bridges (AKA - the Dude) has some musical talent.  He in fact has a band and even put out an album this past decade.  If you live in or near New Mexico you'll be glad to know that Jeff Bridges will be performing with his band in Santa Fe on April 18th, 2010.  I just found this article at The Bobcat Paw.

The first Live Stage Performance of Jeff Bridges' Band is to Play at the historic Lensic Theater in Santa Fe , New Mexico on Sunday April 18 at 3:00PM. Bridges was highly acclaimed for his perfomance as Bad Blake in "Crazy Heart". The film was filmed mostly in Santa fe New Mexico, in fact a lot of the movie was filmed at Evangelo's a local watering hole right across from the historic Lensic Theater.

Bridges won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for his portrayal of a down and out singer , and hard drinker in the movie. TBone Burnett and co-producer Ryan Bingham also won an academy award for Best original song , "The Weary Kind"

If you're a fan of the Coen Brothers and are in the area, you might also want to take a trip on over to the set of their new film True Grit.  It also happens to star Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn.
