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 May [...]

New York Sings for Haiti

On most days even compassionate people go about their lives in a near bubble-like existence. The problems of the rest of the world aren’t one’s first thought. Unfortunately, it often takes a tragedy to break us out of that routine and remind us that we are dramatically more alike than we are different, us fragile [...]

ambeR Rubarth, Ian Axel, Greg Holden and Joey Ryan at Tin Angel

ambeR Rubarth is very good about disseminating information about upcoming shows once they’re set. When she tweeted a couple of months ago that she would be appearing in Philadelphia at Tin Angel with Ian Axel, Greg Holden and Joey Ryan on January 22nd, 2010, we grabbed tickets.
A month later ambeR announced that she, Greg and [...]

Vienna Teng at Rockwood Music Hall

We’ve been up later than normal this past week, including one 2am night. It was all great, but at our age, it takes its toll. We were looking forward to vegging this weekend so we headed to the house on Thursday evening with the intention of not emerging from our cocoon for as [...]

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 is [...]

Vienna Teng and Alex Wong at City Winery

I decided to label this post Vienna Teng and Alex Wong at City Winery because we specifically went to see them. They were part of a lineup in one of many Showcase performances during the 4-day APAP (Association of Performing Arts Presenters) Conference.
I’ll cover everyone who appeared on stage, which will make this another very [...]

Rachael Sage and Michelle Citrin at Joe’s Pub

The world puts out breadcrumbs and we follow them. Some people don’t notice, others notice but don’t care.
One of the more intense paths that we’ve followed began with Alex Berger posting a YouTube video from a concert we attended. After establishing a Twitter and Facebook relationship with Alex, we finally met in person at a [...]

ambeR Rubarth at NAU NYC

In yesterday’s post I mentioned that ambeR Rubarth had just returned to NYC from a long tour. She didn’t take any time to rest up, following her guest appearance at Alex Berger’s show with a show of her own last night.

Amber was accompanied by Tony Macelli and Adam Christgau, and the three of them performed [...]

Alex Berger at Rockwood Music Hall

We’ve seen Alex Berger perform twice before, but last night at Rockwood Music Hall was our first time seeing him headline a full set with a full band. The show started at 11pm, which is way past our bedtime, but Alex is well worth today’s exhaustion.

After the show we finally got to meet another friend [...]

Cherish the Ladies Christmas Show at Towne Crier Cafe

Last night we finally got to scratch a 20-month itch, seeing Cherish the Ladies again in concert. They performed a Christmas show at Towne Crier Cafe, the place where we first saw them in April 2008, covered in detail in this post.
We love Cherish the Ladies (CTL), we love Towne Crier Cafe and we love [...]
