  • Chris Thile and Michael Daves at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Any Chris Thile show in NYC sells out, whether it’s with the Punch Brothers or with Michael Daves. Add a little special sauce, say a CD Release Show and you can be sure that the sellout will happen even more quickly. Chris Thile and Michael Daves just released a new CD, Sleep With […]

  • Jesse Terry, Michael Logen and Alex Wong at Rockwood Music Hall

    We were looking forward to last night for a few months. We’ve seen Jesse Terry a number of times and he never disappoints. We’ve seen Alex Wong many times and couldn’t believe it’s been nearly five months since we’ve seen him solo (we did catch him a couple of months ago as part […]

  • Rosi Golan at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    We’ve seen Rosi Golan a number of times, but only one was a full set of her own music (at Jammin’ Java, covered in this post). The other times were either a few songs at a benefit (or as a guest), or with Ari Hest, performing as The Open Sea (their side-project together). […]

  • Backscratch 13 at Rockwood Music Hall

    Given how awesome last night was, I’m still a little in shock that I missed the first 12 Backscratch sessions. This was the second time it was held in Rockwood Music Hall. Here’s the concept: gather a bunch of musicians. Each plays three songs. Traditionally (or so the legend goes) each played one […]

  • Carley Tanchon at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Our first tiny taste of Carley Tanchon occurred on December 3rd, 2010 when she sang harmony on a song with Jesse Terry at The Bitter End. I give my first impressions of Carley in the last few paragraphs of this post. Since then, we’ve come close to attending a number of Carley’s shows, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Chris Kasper at Rockwood Music Hall

    I just posted that we saw Marjory Lee at Arlene’s Grocery last night. Her set ended at 8:45pm and the six of us walked the block and half to Rockwood Music Hall to catch Chris Kasper. We caught most of a Chris Kasper set (also at Rockwood) back in October 2009! He was […]

  • Matt Simons and Chris Ayer at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last night, Matt Simons and his friends threw him(self) a birthday party at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. Rather than sit in the audience and have others perform for him, Matt chose to work on his birthday (midnight, this morning). Chris Ayer opened the show at 11pm on the dot (highly unusual for […]

  • Martin Rivas and Greg Mayo Band at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    There was an all-star triple-header lineup at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 last night. Robbie Gil at 9pm, Martin Rivas at 10pm and the Greg Mayo Band at 11pm. I was committed to seeing Martin and Greg, but I was really looking forward to catching Robbie’s set as well. The best laid plans… […]

  • Big Apple Singers at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    I started the first of four posts tonight (this being the 4th and final one) with a question as to whether this night would turn out to be as epic as I expected. If you read posts #2 and #3, you’ll know that there were enough frustrations to make that highly unlikely. That […]
