Singer/songwriter/musician Emm Gryner has been playing some recent shows with Hot One, but she'll be back playing her solo material at four upcoming performances. Gryner's Dead Daisy label released her The Summer Of High Hopes album in September, and Bono recently chose its "Almighty Love" as one of the six songs of the last 20 years that he wishes he'd written. You'll probably hear it at these shows:
