Soulful Blues? Bluesy Soul?
The fabulous Canadian blues artist Matt Andersen made his way south of the border for a tour supporting his most recent release, Honest Man, and I was fortunate to be able to see not one but two of his shows! This Extended Play Sessions show was the second of those shows, and by now I knew his new album very well.

What A Set Of Pipes!
I saw Shemekia Copeland about nine years ago, opening for the late great Koko Taylor, and have been waiting for the chance to see her again. My patience was rewarded with the perfect seat at a stellar show at Regattabar last month.

Much Music Royalty Was On Stage This Night
After seeing Professor Louie perform with Guy Davis the previous month at The Extended Play Sessions, we eagerly anticipated the performance by Professor Louie & The Crowmatix. Our patience was rewarded by a fabulous show (not that any of us were surprised)!

The Stunning Vocals Of Lisa Fischer
I had no idea what to expect – other than hearing a great vocalist – when I stepped into the auditorium at Newton North High School to see Lisa Fischer, one of the stars of 20 Feet from Stardom, perform at a benefit concert in support of Historic Newton.

Superb Music By A Master
Luther Dickinson appeared at Brighton Music Hall recently with his band called The Cooperators; I was eyeing it, but after a friend who saw one of their other shows told me I must see it, I realized it would be worth doing a two-show night to see it. Wow, what an incredible show! I did not know what to expect, other than great music, but this show exceeded any expectations I may have had.

Wonderful Music, Disrespectful Audience
I first saw Family and Friends open for another band several months ago and loved their folk-rock music as well as their on-stage chemistry, so I was thrilled to see them return for a headlining show at Great Scott.

Mike Stern Never Fails To Please
Mike Stern is one of those musicians whom I will never tire of seeing perform. As soon as this recent series of shows at Regattabar was announced, I ensured my place at show.

I have seen Mike perform with a variety of musicians, from Eric Johnson with whom he recorded an incredible album in 2014 to numerous session musicians.
