Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby @ City Winery / Nashville TN / November 9, 2014
Marriage has produced some interesting musical collaborations (Johnny & June) and some not-so-interesting ones (John & Yoko). One of recent interest has developed through the nuptial of satirical American songstress Amy Rigby and comically-clever British punk rocker Wreckless Eric. Since 2008, the duo has bonded into an exciting recording and regular touring act that has […]
Jason Isbell @ City Winery / Nashville TN / December 29, 2014
Sorry, but no apologies for all the attention given to Jason Isbell in this space. Even though he is still riding the wave of a record almost two years old (Southeastern), I simply have not tired of its songs—especially hearing Jason perform them live.

Ian Hunter & the Rant Band @ City Winery / Nashville TN / November 9, 2014

ON THE ROAD: Josh Ritter @ City Winery / New York, NY / September 7, 2014
In the music world, there are Josh Roush, Joshua Radin and Josh Ritter. If this gets confusing, just remember that Josh Ritter is the songwriting machine with the perpetual smile. Undoubtedly the humblest and nicest person in show business I have ever met, Ritter is also almost as big in Ireland as Springsteen is in […]
ON THE ROAD: Dave Alvin and the Guilty Ones @ City Winery / New York, NY / June 5, 2013
Lower Manhattan’s City Winery is an exquisite, albeit expensive, music venue that carries on in the tradition of Greenwich Village’s historic Bottom Line. Over the years, it has become a premier spot to enjoy a great meal and to comfortably listen to a wide assortment of artists, many of whom were around back in the […]
