My second night with my boys. As far the music went, it was basically the same as Monday night. I was sitting in the balcony, so felt a little removed from the action. The Capitol Theatre is an historic rock venue and really just an historic venue. It’s a beautiful old theater. Just five minutes […]
My boys! My boys are back in town. And they were playing at a new venue. Not just a new venue to me but a new venue for NYC. Brooklyn Steel is part of the Bowery Presents group. And just like most of the other clubs in that group, they spent their money on the […]
My last January concert took place at a new (to me) venue. City Vineyard is at Pier 26 in Riverside Park. As usual, I walked in the wrong direction when getting off the train (going deeper into Chinatown) before realizing my mistake and finally going in the correct direction towards the Hudson River instead of […]
I was early to Gowanus so, on my way to The Bell House, I stopped off at the Four & Twenty Blackbirds to finally try their pie. I only killed twenty minutes and their crust is not as good as mine. As I got nearer to the club I was thinking about what I would […]
Mrs. Devereaux is a huge Thompson fan (both Richard and Teddy) and I’m also a fan of both and have a crush on Shawn Colvin, so this was a good concert for both of us. Plus, it was at City Winery, one of the best places for live music in NYC. Mrs. Devereaux and I […]
Back to catching up with concerts from earlier this year. It’s always puzzled me as to why I don’t like Wilco, even after seeing them live a couple of times. On paper, they should be the perfect group for me. And there’s Uncle Tupelo – I never saw them live and I’ve never wanted to […]
Back in December 2016, the Austin American-Statesman’s website featured several Texas musicians performing Christmas songs. The first band was the Old 97’s, so that’s what brought me to the page. I decided to listen to the rest of the artists and one of them, from Austin, made an impression on me. I checked out Jackie […]
I had a ticket for the Old 97’s at Irving Plaza for this night but I see the band and Rhett solo regularly and this is only the third opportunity I’ve had to see Malcolm Holcombe. This was my second time seeing him at Kathryn’s Space House Concert Series, which is a living room in […]
An evening at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum seeing performance art and music presented by Latin American Circle plus having two of the exhibits open to us – all for $15. When I got to the museum there were several lines. Something was happening in the auditorium downstairs but I knew the performances I was […]
When rtb mentioned this show, I wanted to go because it sounded like fun but also because I hadn’t been at the Highline Ballroom for a few years. The club is under the shadow of the High Line, so it’s a trek from the subway. And worse when it’s raining. Doors opened at 6pm and […]
