If you spot blogger and former Club Dada owner Amanda Warr (the local music supporter formerly known as Amanda Newman) around town sporting a fresh, new look in the coming weeks, well, you can thank/blame local Americana outfit Eastwood for the switch.

Eastwood wasn't behind the surprise so much as just another part of it: Warr's husband and fellow bloggers were the ones who nominated her for the makeover; Eastwood just happened to be playing the gig--a charity event for The Bridge homeless center--as Warr was ambushed.
