  • Backscratch 13 at Rockwood Music Hall

    Given how awesome last night was, I’m still a little in shock that I missed the first 12 Backscratch sessions. This was the second time it was held in Rockwood Music Hall. Here’s the concept: gather a bunch of musicians. Each plays three songs. Traditionally (or so the legend goes) each played one […]

  • Matt Simons and Chris Ayer at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last night, Matt Simons and his friends threw him(self) a birthday party at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. Rather than sit in the audience and have others perform for him, Matt chose to work on his birthday (midnight, this morning). Chris Ayer opened the show at 11pm on the dot (highly unusual for […]

  • Martin Rivas and Greg Mayo Band at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    There was an all-star triple-header lineup at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. Robbie Gil at 9pm, Martin Rivas at 10pm and the Greg Mayo Band at 11pm. I was committed to seeing Martin and Greg, but I was really looking forward to catching Robbie’s set as well. The best laid plans… […]

  • Chris Ayer, Barnaby Bright, John Schmitt and Morgan Holland at Jammin Java

    It’s great to see a show you know you’re going to like because you like a number of the artists. It’s even better for that to come true and have very pleasant discoveries/surprises thrown in for good measure. Jammin’ Java had the show listed as Chris Ayer headlining, supported by Barnaby Bright and […]

  • Soul Revue Benefit at The Bitter End

    I’m rarely at a loss for words. Unluckily for those who intend to make it to the bottom of this post, this won’t be one of those rare times either. But, it’s still unusual, because simply following my normal structure of mentioning every single performer won’t do justice to what happened last night. […]

  • Greg Mayo Band at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Another day, another post that’s 24 hours late, another day of two posts (this one being the first). Everyone knows the expression: Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Let’s add a new one: Be careful what you wish for, you might just think you’re getting it, but get […]

  • Morgan Holland, Chris Ayer and Matt Simons at Rockwood Music Hall

    Morgan Holland had her EP Release Party last night at Rockwood Music Hall. She invited most of the people who performed on the EP to play with her last night. Two of them opened for Morgan before joining her in the extended (two hour) set. Chris Ayer was first up. We’ve only seen […]

  • Vienna Teng at Parkside Lounge

    Ignorance is bliss, at least it was last night. 🙂 On March 14th, our friend @HappyBee3 tweeted the following: Wow nice line up! RT @chrisayer: Added NYC show March 23 w/ @viennateng & Rachael Sage at Parkside Lounge! I had never heard of Parkside Lounge before, but I made a mental note to […]
