Three Incredible Singer-Songwriters Warmed A Cold Winter’s Night
I attended my first house concert – the Fox Run Concert Series – because of the strength of the performers; I also heard they can be very cool. Mark Erelli, Charlie Rose, and Susan Cattaneo are musicians I saw perform at least once each last year and was impressed each time. This opportunity to see them in an intimate setting – my guess is that there were 40-50 people in attendance – was one I could not forgo.

My Top Ten Shows of 2014
Wow, how am I going to choose only ten shows – out of 177 – as my top shows of last year? So many of the shows I attended were terrific so narrowing the list to ten is not easy.
A Little Funky Music Never Hurts!
Somehow it seemed appropriate that the last Extended Play Session of 2014 brought in the funk! The studio guest that night was the funk rock reggae band, The Get Right Band, all the way from Asheville, North Carolina. Just before the holidays went into full swing, we were treated to some hip-shaking fun.

The studio was packed to the gills which made it a little difficult to shake shake shake as much as we wanted, but I saw some serious chair-dancing happening! Read the rest of this entry
Folk The Cold Was a Winter Warmer!
What a great idea for what turned out to be a not-so-cold winter night – a three-act Americana show called ‘Folk the Cold’! The Sinclair was the proud host of this show with The Ballroom Thieves, Tall Heights and Darlingside.

The Ballroom Thieves were billed as the headliner, but each band seemed to perform similar length sets. It was a great, lengthy show.
Ellis Paul Continues to Impress
I last saw Ellis Paul perform about twenty years ago, so I was long overdue for another show. He has a residency of sorts at Club Passim around New Year’s Eve; I had an opening in my schedule and decided this was the perfect opportunity to see him again.

The show I attended, the night before New Year’s Eve, was the first of four shows comprising this year’s residency; I don’t know if all shows sold out, but my show did. Read the rest of this entry
