  • Paper Raincoat and Ian Axel at Mercury Lounge

    Lois and I go out of our way to avoid concerts where we have to stand throughout the show. That cuts out a number of top venues in NYC where that’s the norm. For most rules, there are some exceptions. Last night, knowing we would be standing, we still couldn’t imagine skipping The […]

  • Ian Axel at Joe’s Pub

    We’ve seen Ian Axel perform three full sets before, plus a few songs at the New York Sings for Haiti benefit and some guest appearances. Still, we were looking forward to last night with great anticipation. Joe’s Pub is our favorite NYC spot to see a show, and Ian is one of our […]

  • ambeR Rubarth at Highline Ballroom

    amber Rubarth is an extraordinary singer/songwriter. I’ve written about her many times. Here is the post about her CD Release Party at Joe’s Pub.

  • ambeR Rubarth, Ian Axel, Greg Holden and Joey Ryan at Tin Angel

    ambeR Rubarth is very good about disseminating information about upcoming shows once they’re set.

A month later ambeR announced that […]

  • Ian Axel at Rockwood Music Hall

    The title of this post is as big a surprise to me as it is to you. 😉 When we planned our evening last night (a couple of weeks ago), I was unaware that Ian Axel was scheduled to play at Rockwood Music Hall, and was unaware of his music. Our plan was […]
