  • Greg Mayo Band Levon Helm Tribute at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Greg Mayo Band headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. The show was on opposite two others that I would gladly have attended, but a week ago I decided that one can’t have enough Greg Mayo in their lives, so with apologies to the others, I was going to […]

  • Tony Maceli Full Vinyl Tribute to Yacht Rock at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Tony Maceli organized and hosted another Full Vinyl show last night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I opened my post about the previous show with the following: Tony Maceli is one of the top bass players in the NYC indie music scene. Some months ago, he started organizing a regular mega-show called […]

  • The Vanity Belles at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    The Vanity Belles are a couple of hard-working ladies. Roughly 28 hours before headlining a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night, they were in Charlotte to sing the National Anthem at The Bobcats NBA game: I’m sure they blew away the large crowd there, but those fans only got to […]

  • Chris Ayer, Rebecca Haviland and Chris Anderson at a House Concert

    Two weeks ago I announced that we were no longer involved with Zope Corporation. That was supposed to mean not driving up and down I95 every month. Apparently, our love of music and friends didn’t get the message. Lindsie Davis runs regular house concerts. We’ve been lucky to have attended three of them […]

  • Rebecca Haviland at Rockwood Music Hall

    Rebecca Haviland headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. We try to catch every Rebecca show. March has been a good month, with this being the third time we’ve caught one of her full sets. We also got to see her sing with the Greg Mayo Band. Even though we’ve seen […]

  • Greg Mayo Band Hall and Oates Tribute at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Greg Mayo Band headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2, in a tribute to Hall & Oates. Tributes of any great band are often really fun shows (nostalgia aside, the music has obviously stood the test of time). This one was more than just fun, it was also meaningful. Greg’s dad, […]

  • Abby Payne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Abby Payne headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. It was her first headlining set at Stage 2 and I’m willing to bet it won’t be her last! I’ve seen Abby perform two full sets (among some other appearances). The first time, with a full band at Rockwood 1, I had […]

  • Rebecca Haviland at Watercolor Cafe

    Rebecca Haviland headlined a set at Watercolor Café. She also joined the openers, The Vanity Belles, playing piano to open and close their set. As with the set before, this was a test of how well a group we love sounds stripped down. In this case, stripped down even further than The Vanity […]

  • The Vanity Belles at Watercolor Cafe

    The Vanity Belles opened for Rebecca Haviland at Watercolor Café in Larchmont last night. Rebecca Haviland plays at Watercooler regularly, but we’ve not been able to make any of her previous shows. That we were finally able to get there on a night when The Vanity Belles (TVB) were opening was doubly delicious. […]

  • Derek James at Rockwood Music Hall

    Derek James headlined Rockwood Music Hall at midnight last night. Q: When you’re his self-anointed #1 fan, and he’s listed at midnight, and you would do whatever you can to see him perform, what drastic action do you take? A: Nap! Yes, good plan, I did indeed nap yesterday afternoon and it paid […]
