Michael Penn will appear on the Jay Leno show on August 4th, 2 days after the release of his CD Mr. Hollywood Jr. 1947.

The first single from Michael Penn’s new cd Mr. Hollywood Jr. 1947 was released to radio last week and was the most added song on AAA radio. If you want to listen to it, just go to Michael’s Myspace Page where it can be downloaded free and legal.

If you’re interested in finding out more about Michael’s music, listen to some samples on iTunes with the Best of Michael Penn.

So I just drove to Pittsburgh and #1 – Michael was amazing as always. He did a taping of World Café that will air on July 14th. The show was intersperced with interviews by World Cafe host, David Dye. #2 – Pittsburgh is a gorgeous city. It’s a shame that people don’t walk around the city much – most of the people seem to live in the suburbs.

Here are a few pics from the weekend. (Sorry – my camera is pretty much crap.)
