  • A Holiday Benefit #5 at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last week I scanned the Rockwood Music Hall website for this week’s shows. There was a show listed for last night simply labeled: “A Holiday Benefit”. The performers were a mixture of our favorite who’s who, plus a couple of groups we have wanted to see for a while, but scheduling has gotten […]

  • Ximena Sarinana and Graffiti6 at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    We’ve seen Ximena Sarinana perform a number of times. We’re big fans. Considering that she lives in LA, we decided to cut a business trip short to return to NYC to catch her show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night (who knows when the opportunities will present themselves!). Ximena has two […]

  • Bri Arden at Rockwood Music Hall

    I need no extra incentives to attend a Bri Arden show, especially at Rockwood Music Hall. But, if you’re going to entice me, I’m paying attention. Here are a few tweets that Bri unleashed in the past few days (in order): BriArden Bri Arden Guys— show this Sat, 9pm at Rockwood. Super excited. […]

  • Clara Lofaro at Caffe Vivaldi

    We spent the entire night at Caffe Vivaldi last night. The middle set was someone we hadn’t heard of before. Clara Lofaro impressed us enough when we checked her out before heading down, so we weren’t planning on just passing time during her set. Clara performed solo accompanying herself on the grand piano […]

  • Joe Whyte and Alec Gross at Caffe Vivaldi

    We wanted to see the last set at Caffe Vivaldi last night. Having been there once before, we knew how small it is. We also assumed it would be mobbed for that set (it was). We checked out who was on before. When we noticed that the first set of the night included […]

  • Dennis Lichtman and The Brain Cloud at Rodeo Bar

    Dennis Lichtman blew me away the only time I saw him, 10 months ago, at Mona’s. That night, he was doing his weekly Mona’s Hot Four gig, where he plays the clarinet. Our friend Melissa Tong took us there, specifically to hear Dennis. Here’s what I wrote about his clarinet play and her […]

  • Rebecca Haviland at Arelene’s Grocery

    We missed a bunch of great shows last week due to the extended holiday weekend and the wonderful company that was up from Richmond to spend it with us. Rebecca Haviland was appearing at Rockwood Music Hall on Friday night, and that’s the only show we had planned to abandon our company to […]

  • The Book of Mormon on Broadway

    I’m a Scorpio, in practically every way. The most important way is that my birthday just recently passed. I love comedy in nearly every form. When we watch sitcoms on TV, and I laugh at everything truly groan-worthy, Lois always says: “You’re so easy!” It’s true, I am. I don’t live under a […]

  • Greg Mayo Band at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    What’s a Saturday night in NYC without a taste of Greg Mayo? Empty! Thankfully, NYC was full last night. Greg often plays with others on a Saturday, but it was his turn to shine in the spotlight with The Greg Mayo Band. Given the time of year, it was no surprise that there […]

  • Wicked Continues to Rule

    On the 11th month, of the 11th year, (7 days after the 11th day), there is but one thing to do: See Wicked for the 11th time! We had friends in from out of town. We’ve been targeting one of them for three years now to see Wicked with us and we finally […]
