Killer threefer last night, each show was top-tier.

First: earlier in the week caught wind of a free Hiss Golden Messenger album release show happening at one of my favorite rooms in Brooklyn, thankfully early enough to RSVP and conveniently working from home that day so got there in time for a great spot.

Wasn't sure what to expect, could've been solo or just a few songs, but this was just an absolute monster set at Skinny Dennis. New songs, some jams, a very cool cover of Dixie Chicken sandwiched in one, special guest (the fab Stephanie Coleman on fiddle). MC was in high spirits, the band sounded so good. Can't say enough about this one, so glad I made it.

Alright, I've now hit this Tuesday gig 6 times this year and I've seen enough to say it's maybe the best thing going in NYC livemusic right now. Just hasn't been anything short of remarkable. And I'm discovering a lot of great new local talent. Two weeks ago this dude Mike Robinson on pedal steel was a revelation, the improv melodic and ambient. Last night, Ryan Weiner on guitar and it was some serious thick-necked jamprov.

Highest recommendation.

My new favorite regular gig in NYC is the improv jam going on at the Richardson in Williamsburg every Tuesday. Seems mostly organized by Scott Colberg, who's become my seek-at-all-costs bassist in town. Everything he does seems to be fantastic which is how I feel about Jeremy Gustin, who is often on these gigs as well.

Tonight the trio was those two and this new-to-me dude Abe Seiferth on guitar/electronics. Caught the second set and it was holyshit! good.

Amazing jams will always find a place to live in this town. If the last 25+ years have taught me anything, it's that.
