Last Wednesday, Jenn and I made the long drive down to the Watercolor Cafe in Larchmont, NY to see Vienna Teng perform. It had been a few months since we’d last had the chance to see Vienna play, so I was looking forward to having the chance to see another of her concerts in [...]
On Friday, Jenn and I made a trip out to the historic Newtown Meeting House in Newtown, CT to see a performance by fiddler players Liz and Yvonne Kane (aka The Kane Sisters). It was another show sponsored by The Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society, who’ve been responsible for many of the great trad [...]
Last week Jenn and I had the pleasure of attending two shows by the talented Vienna Teng.
I have this strange thing going on where Vienna is concerned, where some part of my brain wants to insist that she’s not up in the very top tier of ectophilic musicians. I think it’s mainly because her [...]
Yes, I’m finally going to post about Jenn and I seeing Susan McKeown at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art back on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th).
I hadn’t seen Susan perform for almost a year, in large part because she was doing much of her touring as a vocalist for The Klezmatics. Since it [...]
Way back on February 3rd, Jenn and I made the drive up to the Homegrown Coffeehouse (which is held at the First Parish Universalist Church in Needham, MA) to see Merrie Amsterburg.
And now I’m finally posting about it.
It had been a few years since I’d last seen Merrie perform, between her not playing out all [...]
On Friday, Jenn and I trekked to the wilds of Monroe, CT, where some very nice people were hosting a concert in their living room on behalf of The Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society. Fiddler Patrick Ourceau and guitarist Eamon O’Leary were providing the tunes, and it was an exceedingly fine evening of music. [...]
Last night Jenn and I joined our friends woj and Meredith in a trek down to NYC to see the amazing Vienna Teng perform at The Living Room.
It was a dark and stormy night, but luckily the rain at least held off for part of the trip down. Once it did start raining though, [...]
Last night Jenn and I made the trip up to Northampton, MA, to see the wonderful Christine Fellows open for The Mountain Goats at the Pearl Street Nightclub.
It was one of those rare cases where I’m willing to shell out for a show even though I only want to see the opening act. Not [...]
On Friday night Jenn and I joined our friend woj for a trip down to NYC to see Susan McKeown perform at Glucksman Ireland House. Woj already wrote a fine review of the show, so I’ll just add a link to a few photos I took during the performance. I thought Susan and [...]
On Sunday, Jenn and I made another trip up to the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA, this time to see Lunasa.
We’d seen Lunasa perform several times before, usually at either the Towne Crier or the University of Hartford, but this was our first time seeing them at the Iron Horse. Given how much we [...]
