  • The Nutcracker at Richmond CenterStage

    I was supposed to be at work all day yesterday. If you promise not to tell anyone that could get me in trouble, I’ll tell you what I did after leaving the office at 10:15am (I was in at 7am, so I got some things done). Our friends in Richmond bought six tickets […]

  • Joey Ryan, Kenneth Pattengale, The Springs Standards and Meg and Dia at The Studio at Webster Hall

    Joey Ryan comes to NYC a few times a year. If we’re here too, you can bet we’ll make it to one of his shows. Even though we love seeing him solo, this time he was touring with Kenneth Pattengale as well. The two of them make magic together, so we run rather […]

  • Girlyman and Red Molly at City Winery

    This show was announced over six months ago and the minute it was, I grabbed tickets. It was a long wait and it was well worth it. We even got to see Girlyman three weeks ago in Birmingham, which only enhanced our anticipation of last night’s show. It is the rarest Girlyman show […]

  • Girlyman at Workplay

    Earlier in the week I said we’d finish off our Birmingham trip with a surprise. Seeing Girlyman perform at Workplay on Sunday night topped off an already incredible week of family, friends and fun (henceforth known as the 3 F’s). Anyone who has read more than a few of my posts knows how […]

  • 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 […]

  • The Downside Risk at Wings Theatre

    Last night we attended the opening of The Downside Risk at the Wings Theatre. Our friend Shannon Black was one of the actors in it, and we enjoyed her performance in Next Stop, Nightmare (written and directed by her husband, Jason Black). This is a limited run show, eight performances through September 11th, […]

  • 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 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 […]

  • ambeR Rubarth at Highline Ballroom

    amber Rubarth is an extraordinary singer/songwriter. I’ve written about her many times. Here is the post about her CD Release Party at Joe’s Pub. Last night she headlined the Highline Ballroom and created another exceptional performance (a DVD of the show will be available later this year!). Highline Ballroom is the biggest stage […]

  • 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 […]
