World Music’s Winter Festival Is A Winner
What a concept – throw an indoor music festival for your 25th anniversary and turn the House of Blues into festival grounds! That is exactly what World Music/CRASHarts did last weekend. I hope it is the first of many festivals for this fine organization.
Angélique Kidjo
This fine organization promotes a wide variety of artists from around the world at different venues in the Boston area, and their shows are always interesting. Musicians, dancers, and others are included in their annual offerings.
A Concert Worth Traveling To See
This is an event worth traveling to New York City to see – a tribute to Lead Belly at Carnegie Hall! Of course any event at that revered venue is worth seeing, but I think this one is going to be spectacular!
Tickets are still available through Carnegie Hall. Concert proceeds go to non-profit organizations The Association to Benefit Children and Project ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). You can go hear amazing music and help some great causes.
Janis Joplin Has A Little Piece Of My Heart
There is a new film about Janis Joplin, the extraordinary vocal star of the 1960s who tragically died at the young age of 27, called Janis: Little Girl Blue. I was privileged to attend the Boston area première of the film at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, preceded by live music and followed by a question and answer period.
An Evening Of Singer-Songwriter Bliss
How lucky was I to be able to attend a house concert presented by the fabulous songwriter Laurie Sargent! And to be able to walk to it!

I walked into the house and was immediately greeted by long-time friends and fans of Laurie, and thought that was a good sign.

It just keeps getting better!
An Evening Of Superb Jazz Guitar
Since 2010 when I saw Lionel Loueke (pronounced lee-uh-nel lou-ek-e) perform as part of Herbie Hancock’s band, I have wanted to see him play his own music. My patience was rewarded last week when I saw his trio at Regattabar.

Here Is A New Face On The Soul/Blues Scene
There is a new, powerful voice on the rise in both the Boston and national soul and blues scenes and her name is Julie Rhodes. I have been privileged to see her twice in the past month at Atwood’s Tavern, but she will not be playing tiny venues for much longer.
Julie Rhodes
This review combines both shows, especially since the lighting (and thus the photos) was better the first time I saw Julie.
