  • 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 […]

  • ambeR Rubarth, Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Another night, another awesome show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 (third one in four nights!). I guess there’s nothing left to say. This will officially be my shortest post ever. Why are you still here? OK, just for you, take a peek below this line and I’ll share my experience from last […]

  • 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 […]

  • Ian Axel and Derek James at Rebel Spirit Music Flux Studios

    Rebel Spirit Music is a wonderful organization. Created to help musicians navigate the new world order, they put on a showcase of talent every month. Many (most/all?) are also benefits for very worthy causes. Last night was for the benefit of Doctors Without Borders, for Haiti relief. While Rebel Spirit Music has done […]

  • Ian Axel at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    We’ve seen Ian Axel perform nine times prior to last night. The very first time was at Rockwood Music Hall, on October 23rd 2009. He blew us away. As hard as it is to imagine, he’s never disappointed us, even with a wide variety of venues and setups (solo, different band members, etc.). […]

  • Ian Axel Triumphantly Returns to Fair Lawn

    Ian Axel grew up in Fair Lawn, NJ. Last night they coaxed him back to play in the beautiful Fair Lawn Community Center. It was a very special night, filled with family, friends and fans. I can’t even imagine the emotions running through Ian’s head throughout the night, even though he did a […]

  • 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 […]

  • Ian Axel at Joe’s Pub

    We’ve seen Ian Axel perform three full sets before, plus a few songs at the New York Sings for Haiti benefit and some guest appearances. Still, we were looking forward to last night with great anticipation. Joe’s Pub is our favorite NYC spot to see a show, and Ian is one of our […]

  • Ian Axel and Greg Holden at Canal Room

    This one is gonna be long (surprise!), so let’s bottom line it for the impatient: Ian Axel – Crazy good! Greg Holden – Very good, would have been nice if some in the crowd were more attentive. Katie Costello – Very good, need to hear more and I want to. Honey Larochelle – […]
