  • Jesse Terry and Marjory Lee at a House Concert

    We became aware of how many house concerts there are only a few years ago. There have been a few that we really wanted to attend, but scheduling or illness confounded every one, until last night. Our friends (stay tuned for how we met them at the end) hosted a house concert featuring […]

  • Derek James at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    We first saw Derek James and The Lovely Fools at Flux Studios in July. We went to see Ian Axel and left as big fans of Derek James as well, an unexpected side-effect of chasing Ian wherever he plays. I wrote about that night in this post. Derek has played a number of […]

  • Delta Rae at Arlene’s Grocery

    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 […]

  • Vienna Teng, Alex Wong and Joey Ryan at Highline Ballroom

    Last night was very special on many levels. At the top of the list was seeing Vienna Teng perform in NYC (at the Highline Ballroom) for the last time in a while (she’s off to grad school later this month!). Even though Vienna tours the US and Europe regularly, we have come to […]

  • ambeR Rubarth and Adam Levy at 55 Bar

    ambeR Rubarth and Adam Levy are doing a residency at 55 Bar, performing there at 7pm every Wednesday in August. Of their four appearances, the only one that we could attend was last night, and we are both very glad we got to see them (the rest of you still have two more […]

  • Wicked Still Rules

    Having previously seen Wicked eight times, it generally takes an external event to get us to go again. Of course, we are constantly on the lookout for such events, so it’s not hard to get us to go. 🙂 A few weeks ago, friends of ours mentioned that seeing Wicked was high on […]

  • Angel Band at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Prior to last night, we’ve seen Angel Band perform three times. The last one was over two years ago and was a CD Release Party at Joe’s Pub, covered in this post. Last night was also a CD Release party for their new album, Bless My Sole, this time at Rockwood Music Hall […]

  • 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 […]

  • The Paper Raincoat at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Q: What word describes the following situation? You’re old and exhausted and one of your favorite bands schedules a show at 6pm! A: Perfect! 🙂 That’s exactly what happened last night. The Paper Raincoat played a show at 6pm at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. The only worry in our minds (possibly in […]

  • Martin Rivas, Vienna Teng and ambeR Rubarth at City Winery

    In January, City Winery hosted three shows to benefit the Haiti earthquake disaster. We attended one of those shows and I covered it in this post. They have repeated that generosity this week, hosting three shows to benefit those affected by the Gulf Coast Oil Spill. All proceeds went to the Gulf Restoration […]
