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\u2019s work<\/em> for them. That trend continued last night.<\/p>\n

John Schmitt<\/a> celebrated his birthday (and noted that two members of his band\/guests had birthdays one day on either side of the show) by playing at The Living Room<\/a>. He had a full band and some special guests.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need an excuse<\/em> (like a mere birthday) to come see John Schmitt. If we can make it, we\u2019ll be there. In fact, during the show, he announced that he\u2019s playing Rockwood Music Hall<\/a> Stage 2, this coming Thursday, at 7pm (also a full-band show). It\u2019s his first time at Rockwood 2, and we\u2019re already committed to being there (you should come too!).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review why we go see John as often as we can:<\/p>\n
