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 […]
The show is called “Endless Memories” and that’s exactly what Miss Diana Ross gave us. She sang almost every song we wanted hear. And there weren’t any Motown medleys stuck in the middle or at the end of the program. We got a lot of the Motown hits – the entire versions of the songs […]
Sometime last year, Mrs. Devereaux told me about The Secret City, best described as an art church (their tagline is “we worship art”). Her friend was in the chorus and I attended two performances in early spring (which I reviewed here and here). I was fascinated. All sorts of art were showcased – performance, visual, […]
