Julia Haltigan<\/a> headlined a set at Rockwood Music Hall<\/a> last night. It was the last show of a month-long residency at Rockwood 1. In April, she\u2019ll be moving to Rockwood 2. I couldn\u2019t make the earlier shows this month, but I was determined to catch her again after enjoying her set last October, and her song at the Full Vinyl show a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Not that you will believe me, or care, but what I\u2019m about to do is not out of laziness at all. I just re-read my previous post about Julia, and with a few exceptions, every word applied directly to last night\u2019s show. So, if you want to know about Julia, and\/or her fantastic band, or the specific feel of the previous show, or of last night\u2019s show, read that post in its entirety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I will note a few differences here (very few) and put in photos of last night\u2019s show (to prove to you that we were indeed there). \"Winking<\/p>\n

First and foremost, I nit-picked a bit about Sam Feldman\u2019s guitar play at the previous show. No nits last night, literally. I don\u2019t know if he wasn\u2019t feeling well last time, or was off for any other reason, but he was excellent on every number last night. As I noted in the previous post, his guitar is a very critical part of Julia\u2019s sound, so his elevated play was most welcome!<\/p>\n

\"SamFeldmanElectricGuitar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Julia closed with the same cover, and again, Sam was spectacular on the acoustic guitar (the only time he wasn\u2019t on the electric during the set).<\/p>\n

\"SamFeldmanAcoustic1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t note it last time, so perhaps it wasn\u2019t as evident (I do tend to be pedantic), but Julia has superb stage presence. She\u2019s very comfortable during and between songs.<\/p>\n

\"JoeAncowitzJuliaHaltigan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She had her hair done for the show. She noted it (and I do as well) because the woman who styled it was in the audience, and Julia highly recommended her services. Nice shout-out. I didn\u2019t lock in the name, because I\u2019m unlikely to need her services (unless she has a secret to regrow my giant bald spot), but anyone who would like to leave her name in the comments is encouraged to do so! \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

\"JuliaHaltiganHairdo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These two are repeats, but they deserve the shout outs:<\/p>\n

Joe Ancowitz was excellent on the trumpet and the vocals. The brass adds a very nice character to Julia\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n

Steve Williams<\/a> is great on the drums (all three times we\u2019ve seen him).<\/p>\n

Julia is firmly on my list of people to keep seeing, so if you show up to a future show, you\u2019re likely to see me there too. \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

Here was Julia\u2019s cheat sheet<\/em> (perhaps not a literal set list):<\/p>\n
