  • Bishop Shanahan High School (PA) Choral Ensemble Sings at Trinity Church (NYC)

    The following is a guest post by our very own Lois. Their voices soared in stunning harmonies, filling the Cathedral as worshippers and visitors gathered after the noon mass to hear the Bishop Shanahan High School (BSHS) Choral Ensemble. Under the direction of Chuck Keating, the School’s Music Director, the students sang nine […]

  • Ian and Chad at The Standard Hotel

    Ian and Chad is the new name for what used to be known as Ian Axel (which always featured Chad Vaccarino). Last night they headlined a show at The Standard Hotel (formerly known as The Cooper Square Hotel). They announced it as their first show of 2012. If you accept the notion of […]

  • Elizabeth and the Catapult at The Standard Hotel

    Elizabeth and the Catapult opened a show at The Standard Hotel last night. Well, to be honest, there were no catapult in sight, so let’s also give credit to her as a solo artist, Elizabeth Ziman. She mentioned that last night was her first-ever solo show. A bit hard to believe, but I […]

  • Bryan Dunn CD Release at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Bryan Dunn headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. It was his official CD Release show for Sweetheart of the Music Hall. Three weeks ago I did something I rarely do, I reviewed a CD. It happened to be Brian’s CD. Before you read another word about the show, […]

  • Leave a Lasting Mark Soul Benefit The Bitter End

    Leave a Lasting Mark is a benefit concert series conceived and produced by Sam Teichman. We’ve been to a number of them, but have sadly missed some of the more spectacular ones (or so a number of people have told us). Our very first one was a Soul Revue (just like last night) […]

  • Chris Ayer, Matt Simons and Adam Barnes at Rockwood Music Hall

    Chris Ayer, Matt Simons and Adam Barnes have toured together in the UK and Europe a couple of times. March saw Adam crossing the pond to tour the US with Chris and Matt (by now you should have figured out that Adam is the Brit of the three). Last night they headlined a […]

  • Rebecca Haviland at Rockwood Music Hall

    Rebecca Haviland headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. We try to catch every Rebecca show. March has been a good month, with this being the third time we’ve caught one of her full sets. We also got to see her sing with the Greg Mayo Band. Even though we’ve seen […]

  • Julia Haltigan at Rockwood Music Hall

    Julia Haltigan headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. It was the last show of a month-long residency at Rockwood 1. In April, she’ll be moving to Rockwood 2. I couldn’t make the earlier shows this month, but I was determined to catch her again after enjoying her set last October, […]

  • Ian and Chad in a Secret Show at Rockwood Music Hall

    What happens when Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino drop their last names? Awesomeness! It’s not quite official, but it’s not embargoed either, but the artist formerly known as Ian Axel will soon be known as Ian and Chad. Click that link to see how Ian describes the name change. Basically, it more accurately […]

  • Gabrielle Sterbenz at Rockwood Music Hall

    Gabrielle Sterbenz headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. We hadn’t heard of Gabrielle prior to the show and weren’t planning on attending. We decided to show up to her set to try to get seats for the next set. Luckily, we did, because it was quite crowded with Gabrielle’s fans. […]
