  • Adam Minkoff Randomonium 9 at Rockwood Music Hall

    Adam Minkoff has a regular gig at Rockwood Music Hall, called Randomonium. It’s typically (always?) on a Wednesday night, starting at midnight. We’ve been fans of Adam’s for a while (mostly for his bass work, but we’ve also seen him do wonders on electric guitar, a floor tom and sing up a storm […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at Jammin Java

    Another night, another stop on the Intergalactic Tour of the Universe and Beyond Tour. It wasn’t originally meant to be, but when the Universe (and Beyond!) wants something, it makes it happen. Two years ago, Richmond CenterStage opened with a big gala celebration. I covered one of the nights. Last night was a […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at a House Concert

    Last night was our third time in four days seeing Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss perform (no big deal, don’t be too jealous). The last two shows were part of the Intergalactic Tour of the Universe and Beyond Tour. All three shows were unique because the venues were so different, as […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at The Falcon

    We love surprising musicians by showing up in places they’d never expect us. It’s way more fun when the venue is new to us and everything we read makes us think it will be a favorite, instantly. Such was the case last night. Having just seen Ian Axel the night before (Tuesday) at […]

  • Ian Axel at Bowery Ballroom

    Continuing with the pattern started in my last post about The Spring Standards, I am separating this one out from the other two sets at last night’s Bowery Ballroom show. Ian Axel co-headlined Bowery Ballroom on May 24th, 2011 with The Spring Standards. Last night he co-headlined with Rosi Golan. Since that night, […]

  • Martin Rivas and Robbie Gil at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Martin Rivas was bringing his current Saturday Night residency at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 to a close last night (he’ll be touring Europe much of the summer). That would be reason enough to go see him (the last full-band show in NYC until late August or early September). But I’ll give you […]

  • Ian Axel, The Spring Standards and Madi Diaz at Bowery Ballroom

    I tell everyone I meet that Ian Axel is magical. Since I don’t distinguish between people I’ve already told it to and newcomers to this fact, I am not surprised when people start running away as I approach. Until now, it has seemed subjective, but I finally have proof, to convince all of […]

  • Ian Axel, Greg Holden and Julia Nunes at the Studio at Webster Hall

    This night couldn’t come fast enough for us. We bought tickets the minute they went on sale (we like to believe they were the first four sold, so don’t burst our bubble if you know differently). Ian Axel just released a new CD (well, at the moment it’s digital downloads only, but the […]

  • Alex Wong and Guests at Rockwood Music Hall

    It’s been a month since we’ve seen Alex Wong perform at Rockwood Music Hall. It’s not good to go much more than a month between doses of Alex, so it’s good that he had a show last night. In fact, after seeing his solo show at Rockwood 1 on December 9th, we saw […]

  • Greg Holden at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    We’ve seen Greg Holden perform three full sets over the past year and sing as a guest at a few other shows. He’s grown on me each time I’ve seen him. Last night was his last show of 2010, at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. It was scheduled for 10:30pm so we were […]
