  • Greg Mayo Band at Lagond Music School

    Greg Mayo Band headlined a set at Lagond Music School last night. This is one of three posts from last night. I’ll spend more time talking about Lagond Music School (LMS) in the final one. Greg is a teacher at LMS (lucky kids!). LMS puts on shows on a regular basis. I don’t […]

  • 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 […]

  • Leave a Lasting Mark Soul Benefit The Bitter End

    Leave a Lasting Mark is a benefit concert series conceived and produced by Sam Teichman. We’ve been to a number of them, but have sadly missed some of the more spectacular ones (or so a number of people have told us). Our very first one was a Soul Revue (just like last night) […]

  • Sierra Noble and Michael Sackler-Berner at Joe’s Pub

    Sierra Noble was opening for Michael Sackler-Berner at Joe’s Pub last night. We weren’t supposed to be in NYC. After missing Sierra last week, when she played a co-bill with Rebecca Haviland, we decided that we had to get our priorities straight. We cut our trip short and returned in time to attend […]

  • Martin Rivas at Rockwood Music Hall

    We weren’t going to go out for any shows last night. In fact, we had dinner plans with friends. Then I saw this tweet: martinrivas Martin Rivas My last NYC show until Summer2012 tonite 10p at Rockwood2. XmasSongs? Requests? WhoKnows?! Not me. @patryklarney at 11 @nightmareriver at 12 Wait, 5+ months of no […]

  • Alex Liang Wong at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Alex Wong is someone I’ve written about so many times. Starting with this post, I’m going to do my best to never write about him again. The reason? Too many darned Alex Wong’s running around getting famous on the Internet. In order to stake out a defined spot, our Alex has chosen to […]

  • Alex Berger at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Alex Berger lives in London. That’s sad enough (for us, not necessarily for him), but the really sad part is that we get to see him perform rather infrequently. When he’s in town, and schedules a show, it’s a must-see event. Last night was the night! From the first time we saw Alex […]

  • Backscratch XVII at Rockwood Music Hall

    Last night we attended the early show at Joe’s Pub. Under normal circumstances, we would have run home after the show. These were not normal circumstances. Over at Rockwood Music Hall, timed perfectly for us, was Backscratch XVII. That would have been more than enough to get us to stay out for another […]

  • A Holiday Benefit #5 at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last week I scanned the Rockwood Music Hall website for this week’s shows. There was a show listed for last night simply labeled: “A Holiday Benefit”. The performers were a mixture of our favorite who’s who, plus a couple of groups we have wanted to see for a while, but scheduling has gotten […]

  • Bess Rogers CD Release at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last night was Bess Rogers CD Release Party for Out of the Ocean. It was a three-hour, three-act show. I already covered the two opening acts, Allie Moss followed by Ian Axel. Bess has created a beautiful CD. As good as the songs are, the production by Chris Kuffner (Bess’ husband) is incredible. […]
