Cowboy Junkies at The Iron Horse
To celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Michael+Sooz collaboration, we saw the Cowboy Junkies perform their second show of the night on Thursday. It was wonderful.

Sondre Lerche comes to Boston
I've blathered on about Sondre Lerche before; but now it seems he's actually going to be in the Boston area (well, Cambridge) in a few weeks. This is excellent news for sure. When he makes his way to TT The Bear's in Central Square he'll be embarking on the second leg of his ...

Cary Pierce live at Club Passim and online tonight
It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it to Cary Pierce's solo show at Club Passim tonight in Harvard Square. But that's mostly OK because Club Passim is broadcasting the show online. Tune in at 8pm EST for a great show by a heartfelt and superb singer/songwriter.

Peter Wolf at The Middle East
This is what rock and roll is all about. Most artists phone it in compared to Peter Wolf (J. Geils Band) who performed two cabaret-style shows Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10 at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge. I joined Anne for the Saturday show. 450 people filled the club ...

Cowboy Junkies
I've been a fan of the Cowboy Junkies off-and-on for years; but I've never had a chance to see them live. Fortunately that changes soon when Michael and I see them at their second show of the night at the Iron Horse in Northampton on May 29th. It seemed like a fun way ...
