  • Greg Mayo Band Levon Helm Tribute at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Greg Mayo Band headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. The show was on opposite two others that I would gladly have attended, but a week ago I decided that one can’t have enough Greg Mayo in their lives, so with apologies to the others, I was going to […]

  • The Grascals at Emelin Theatre

    The Grascals headlined a show at Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck, NY last night. When they introduced the band, it turned out they weren’t simply headlining a random show. Emelin had been hosting a Bluegrass series and The Grascals were the final act of this year’s series. I’m sorry we were unaware of the […]

  • Apollo Run Acoustic Show at Rockwood Music Hall

    Apollo Run headlined a special acoustic show at Rockwood Music Hall last night. I characterized it as special (that’s not how they billed it), because it gave me a chance to evaluate their core musical proposition relatively quickly after my first encounter with them three weeks ago. In that first show, I had […]

  • Buddy Mondlock at Rockwood Music Hall

    Buddy Mondlock headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. I am slightly embarrassed that I had never heard of Buddy. I was intending to see him anyway, because I was at Rockwood to see the set before and the set after him. The set before was Jesse Terry, and Jesse sent […]

  • Jesse Terry at Rockwood Music Hall

    Jesse Terry headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. Most of the times that we’ve seen Jesse he’s performed solo. The last two times he’s been refining a group sound. First he connected with Greg Mayo for a duo show, where Greg played piano on some numbers and guitar on others, […]

  • Jay Stolar at Rockwood Music Hall

    Jay Stolar headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall. That, in itself, is not news. Jay headlines there every Thursday, but, at 1am, which we have yet to keep ourselves awake for. Yesterday, he kicked off the evening with the first set, at 6pm. For us, that’s as good as it gets. For […]

  • Tony Maceli Full Vinyl Tribute to Yacht Rock at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Tony Maceli organized and hosted another Full Vinyl show last night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I opened my post about the previous show with the following: Tony Maceli is one of the top bass players in the NYC indie music scene. Some months ago, he started organizing a regular mega-show called […]

  • Jeff Taylor and Dumpster Hunter at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Jeff Taylor and his band Dumpster Hunter headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. Quick aside. The link to Dumpster Hunter currently redirects to the same site as Jeff Taylor’s link. In the future, it might not, so I decided to give both links. That leads me to say […]

  • The Vanity Belles at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    The Vanity Belles are a couple of hard-working ladies. Roughly 28 hours before headlining a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night, they were in Charlotte to sing the National Anthem at The Bobcats NBA game: I’m sure they blew away the large crowd there, but those fans only got to […]

  • Chris Ayer, Rebecca Haviland and Chris Anderson at a House Concert

    Two weeks ago I announced that we were no longer involved with Zope Corporation. That was supposed to mean not driving up and down I95 every month. Apparently, our love of music and friends didn’t get the message. Lindsie Davis runs regular house concerts. We’ve been lucky to have attended three of them […]
