  • The Foggy Dudes at Red Lion

    The Foggy Dudes closed out the St. Patty’s weekend at Red Lion with three consecutive sets of traditional Irish music. Not fiddle/pipes stuff, rather, hardy sea shanty tunes. Most of the numbers are very upbeat, often with hysterical lyrics (those seamen needed something to keep them awake). A few are more traditional protest […]

  • John Schmitt at Rockwood Music Hall

    John Schmitt headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall last night. We used to see John frequently. I knew it’s been a while (with a couple of near misses recently), but I was actually shocked when I looked it up and saw that it was seven months ago. That’s just crazy talk. Glad […]

  • John Schmitt at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last Friday, John Schmitt had a Birthday show at The Living Room. At that show he announced that his first show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 would be the following Thursday (last night). Of course, it immediately went on our calendar. Last night’s show was just as much fun as the Birthday […]

  • John Schmitt Birthday Show at The Living Room

    I seem to be saying this a lot lately: Musicians tend to play on or near their birthday, throwing a party for their fans, even though it’s work for them. That trend continued last night. John Schmitt celebrated his birthday (and noted that two members of his band/guests had birthdays one day on […]

  • Brian Killeen Birthday Bash at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    What do you do after driving 5.5 hours to return home from a 10-day business trip? If you’re most people, you catch up with what happened while you were on the road, then collapse for an evening of relaxation. If you’re crazy kids like us, you do that, add a catnap and after […]

  • Backscratch XIV at Rockwood Music Hall

    We’ve only been to one Backscratch before, but we’ll do our best to never miss one going forward. Last night was #14, but I decided to show off my mad Roman Numeral skills in the title. This one was back at Rockwood Music Hall (not the original venue). I covered the last one […]

  • John Schmitt at Rockwood Music Hall

    Even though it’s only been a few weeks since we last saw John Schmitt perform (May 13th at The Living Room), we were really looking forward to this show last night. The set at The Living Room was excellent, which is reason enough to want more. But Rockwood Music Hall is also more […]

  • Greg Mayo, Craig Meyer, Tony Maceli and Guests at Red Lion

    I’m a fanatical lover of great guitar playing. If that’s news to you, welcome, this is likely your first time visiting here. Candyrat Records has signed an impressive number of the top instrumental guitarists around. Every so often they schedule a tour with a number of their artists. We’ve seen one that was […]

  • Chris Ayer, John Schmitt and Andy Mac at The Living Room

    On April 21st, 2011, I tweeted the following: Crushing traffic on I95 yesterday. Listening to @johnschmitt and @chrisayer saved our sanity! I received back the following back from John: @hadarvc Thx Radar! If you’re free on May 13th, Chris and I play the Living Room, at 10 & 11pm! Would love to say […]

  • Chris Ayer, Barnaby Bright, John Schmitt and Morgan Holland at Jammin Java

    It’s great to see a show you know you’re going to like because you like a number of the artists. It’s even better for that to come true and have very pleasant discoveries/surprises thrown in for good measure. Jammin’ Java had the show listed as Chris Ayer headlining, supported by Barnaby Bright and […]
