If you were wanting another reason to stay up late in order to watch “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” we’ve found one for you. The musical guest for tonight’s broadcast is “The Lone Bellow,” a Brooklyn, NY-based band. Yes, Brooklyn; we’ll explain…
While the other scheduled guests may be reason enough for you to tune in (Vin Diesel and Jeff Foxworthy), we’re thinking the chance for Birmingham to see one of their own performing on television is a pretty good one. Brian Murphy is currently based in New York City, but he is a native of The Magic City, having worked for what is now the Birmingham Business Alliance and as a photographer and musician.
