  • Hurrah! A Bolt of Light! at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Hurrah! A Bolt of Light! headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. It was their final residency show. They’ve played every Friday in May 2012 at 10pm on Stage 2. I’ve heard about them for quite a while now but this was my first time seeing them play. I’d […]

  • Jay Stolar EP Release at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Jay Stolar released a new EP (The Acoustic EP). Numbered CDs were available for sale at his headlining show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. If you read my last post about Jay then you know that we weren’t going to miss this show (and there was strong competition for our attention down […]

  • Matt Simons at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Matt Simons headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. It was a last-minute surprise and such a lovely one at that. We were planning on attending the 8:30 set (the subject of the next post) which was originally scheduled to be the first one of the night. Once we […]

  • Jeff Litman at Rockwood Music Hall

    Jeff Litman headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. It was an early set, which we always appreciate and prefer. On the other hand, it coincided with a near-monsoon, so we got soaked coming and going. It’s hard to believe that this was only our second night of music in May. […]

  • Lagond Music School and their Student Performers

    Last night we attended a show at Lagond Music School. I have implored my readers once in the past to contribute to the school, and I’ll do so again, now that I’ve seen first hand what their students are capable of. If you click on the link above, you’ll spot a yellow Donate […]

  • The Thang Band at Lagond Music School

    The Thang Band headlined a set at Lagond Music School last night, closing out a fantastic show. I already posted about the set before them, Greg Mayo Band. I have seen The Thang Band once before and was really looking forward to seeing them again. I was nervous and excited for Lois to […]

  • Greg Mayo Band at Lagond Music School

    Greg Mayo Band headlined a set at Lagond Music School last night. This is one of three posts from last night. I’ll spend more time talking about Lagond Music School (LMS) in the final one. Greg is a teacher at LMS (lucky kids!). LMS puts on shows on a regular basis. I don’t […]

  • Mike and Ruthy with Aoife O’Donovan at Joe’s Pub

    Mike and Ruthy headlined a show at Joe’s Pub last night. I hadn’t heard of them (by that name) but I was interested in the show because I had just recently discovered the opener, Aoife O’Donovan. When I checked out Mike and Ruthy, I liked what I heard, so that made the decision […]

  • The Third Wheel Band CD Release at Rodeo Bar

    The Third Wheel Band headlined Rodeo Bar last night. Beyond a normal headlining show, it was their CD Release (2nd one) for Family Album. Eleven months ago we accidentally caught half of their set at Rockwood Music Hall. Well, hearing even one note was accidental, catching half the set was because we couldn’t […]

  • Girlyman with Edie Carey at City Winery

    Girlyman headlined City Winery last night. The minute the show was announced we snagged 15 tickets radiating out from center stage to the first aisle. Girlyman in NYC or VA == Party in our household. Since we accidentally discovered them in August 2007, they have had no trouble holding on to the top […]
