  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Alex Wong and Adam Levy at Rockwood

    Last night was a real treat for us. We got to see one of our favorite musicians perform his first solo show. We also caught the set before his, which was wonderful, and I’ll cover that as well. Alex Wong is an incredible talent, something I repeat very often (well deserved repetition). We […]

  • Paper Raincoat and Ian Axel at Mercury Lounge

    Lois and I go out of our way to avoid concerts where we have to stand throughout the show. That cuts out a number of top venues in NYC where that’s the norm. For most rules, there are some exceptions. Last night, knowing we would be standing, we still couldn’t imagine skipping The […]

  • Vienna Teng and The Paper Raincoat at Attucks

    Vienna Teng and The Paper Raincoat are up there among our favorite performers, both live and their CDs. Recently, Vienna announced that she’s taking a break from touring and returning to school this fall. While I’m sure that The Paper Raincoat (TPR) will continue to perform (in fact, we have tickets to see […]

  • Vienna Teng, Rosi Golan and Ari Hest at Rockwood Music Hall

    On Tuesday night we saw Vienna Teng perform at Parkside Lounge. I detailed the show in this post. Two points to carry over from that night: 1) Vienna tailored the set list for the audience/venue and 2) She played 100% solo. Last night showed her flexibility in mixing it up. If you’re a […]

  • 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 […]

  • Vienna Teng, Alex Wong and Glen Phillips at Workplay

    This post is a day late because we didn’t complete the trifecta and follow Vienna Teng and Alex Wong to Louisiana. Instead, we kept our word and drove home from Birmingham, AL, a trip that took a day and a half of driving. On Thursday, we drove from Atlanta to Birmingham to catch […]
