  • Jesse Terry, Michael Logen and Carley Tanchon at a House Concert

    For people who see live music as often as we do, I’m still amazed that it’s only been eight months since our first-ever house concert. We’ve been to a reasonable number of them since. Last night brought us full circle. We attended a concert at the same house that kicked it off, with […]

  • Girlyman and Susan Werner at Birchmere

    Last night was almost exactly five months from the last time we saw Girlyman in concert. That’s just about our limit before we burst, so we were thankful for the opportunity to see them at Birchmere again. (Apologies for the quality of the photos. Birchmere has poor lighting for compact cameras in general, […]

  • Jesse Terry and Gavin Slate at Rockwood Music Hall

    Yesterday promised to be a perfect late afternoon / early evening. It didn’t disappoint! Jesse Terry is an amazing singer/songwriter (many easy ways for you to verify that claim for yourself, on YouTube, his own site, MySpace, etc.). We’ve seen him perform at a house concert, then at The Bitter End. We’ve been […]

  • Marjory Lee at Arlene’s Grocery

    We’ve seen Marjory Lee perform once before, in a house concert. Feel free to read the entire post, but I’ll pull out the two most relevant paragraphs here, because they will provide the foundation for my comments on last night’s show: Marjory Lee sang and played acoustic guitar (as above, 100% acoustic, with […]

  • The Southern Wedding

    One of the major events in being a godparent is seeing your godchild get married. Nearly three years ago we got our first taste when Laura married Chris (captured in this post). This past Saturday, her brother (David) completed this stage by marrying the most wonderful woman (Rebecca) we could have imagined for […]

  • Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino at Jammin Java

    Having just seen Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino perform at a house concert the night before, you might assume that we wouldn’t make the trek to NoVA again to see them headline Jammin’ Java. Silly Human (spoken in the proper Ferengi accent!), we couldn’t wait! The two experiences were dramatically different, even though […]

  • 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 […]

  • Jess and Jesse Terry Wedding

    Yesterday’s post ended with: “Congratulations to Jesse and Jess as your new life together begins in a few hours!” This is the sequel to that post, sharing some memories from an absolutely gorgeous wedding ceremony that we were honored to be invited to. Just like the night before, things weren’t exactly hitch-less as […]

  • 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 […]
