We weren’t supposed to be back in NYC until tomorrow (Thursday). Friends of ours from Thailand were in the states and are leaving tonight. We decided to come home early and have lunch with them today to see them off (that didn’t work out in the end!). Once we committed to that, we left even [...]

The Persuasions at BB King
Lois and I love a cappella. We love harmony in all forms and it doesn’t get purer than a cappella. When we each saw that The Persuasions were performing at BB King (we both get the weekly email newsletter) we were interested in going (we’ve never seen them). A friend of ours was vacationing up [...]
Delta Rae at Rockwood Music Hall
The first time I heard the name Delta Rae was on April 2nd 2010, in an email from a good friend. He forwarded a note from a friend of his (who I’ve never met). Ever since then, I’ve formed an email friendship with our mutual friend and he’s been promoting Delta Rae to me. I [...]
Jay Nash, Joey Ryan and Chris Seefried
Joey Ryan in NYC the same night that we are? No need to wonder what we had planned. Joey just completed a UK/Europe tour with Jay Nash. After joining a lot of our favorite artists for a show (way) upstate in NY over the 4th of July weekend, they headed down to Rockwood Music Hall [...]
Girlyman at Southern Cafe
Another night, another Girlyman concert. This one was in Charlottesville, at the relatively new The Southern Cafe. This used to be Gravity Lounge. It changed hands and was gutted on the inside. Last night was the final show in the current East Coast tour for Girlyman. I can only imagine how exhausted they were. Thankfully, [...]
Victoria Lavington Fundraiser at Christopher Street Coffeehouse
Almost two years ago, I discovered a duo named Sweet Bitters. Since then, we’ve seen them perform a number of times and have become friendly with both Sharon Goldman and Nina Schmir (also known as Nina Soka). For many years (at least nine I believe), Sharon has been a member of a female songwriters group [...]
Susan Werner at The First Unitarian Society of Westchester
We must have been living under a rock for a very long time, because Susan Werner is exactly the kind of singer/songwriter that we love, and Lois is particularly good at finding them. On September 20th, 2009 we saw Red Molly at Joe’s Pub and they closed the show with an a cappella version of [...]
Alex Berger and The Bowmans at Living Room
We weren’t scheduled to be in NYC last night. When we ran into Alex Berger on Saturday night at City Winery and he mentioned that he was playing on Monday at The Living Room. That was all we needed to hear to rearrange our schedule and stay in the city a few extra days. Alex [...]
