This is definitely one of *those* weeks in NYC livemusic. Unmissable shit will be missed. Best problems.

Tonight: Laurie Anderson backed by Sexmob. Legends upon legends at BAM. Super fascinating as expected. And home at a reasonable hour, my localest venue.

Tonight: Stop 1:: Daniel Villarreal is a freakin groove merchant. More people should be talking about this funky awesomeness. The Chicago drummer and his band laying it down at Public Records on a Wednesday night.

Stop 2:: perfectly-timed* jaunt over to Joe's Pub for one of my favorite songwriters of the past 10 years: Caitlyn Canty. Sounding oh so sweet in a duo with pedal steel. Yes!

(*when the music starts a minute after you take your seat = pro's pro)

Stop 3: late night solo meanderings with Brad Barr (and a bunch of guitars, knobs, pedals et cetera) at Rockwood. Very cool.

Three winners there, each set special in its own way. Livemusic'n at its finest.

Tonight: Stop 1:: early set at Barbes. Old school Americana with personal fave Nora Brown... and friends. I love Brown so much, some day will be sawherwhen material. History lesson and sweet music all in one.

Just announced they have a Tiny Desk coming out next week. Cool!

Stop 2: boom!pow!

My Morning Jacket playing It Still Moves in full at the Beacon.

Well, that ruled. Stretched the album out to 1:45. Kind of nuts. Big encore coming.
My Morning Jacket Fill Beacon Theatre with Beloved Arena-Ready Anthems on Night One

My Morning Jacket – Beacon Theatre – October 19, 2023 Any great rock band worth its weight in guitar strings has a few of those songs in its repertoire. You know the ones: the heavy artillery number…

Tonight:: Night Two! My Morning Jacket. I mean...

Holy shit! Jim James singing The Wind in duet with Madi Diaz. One of my all-time favorite songs. Like top 5. Chillllls.

*Cat Stevens.

So happy

Today: fun matinee at the Whitney with John Zorn playing live soundtracks to Harry Smith films with Kenny Grohowski, Jorge Roeder, and Ikue Mori. Dreamlike.

Tonight: "nothing but blue skies" with Daniel Donato & Cosmic Country at a packed Brooklyn Bowl. Yeah, sure, a third night of MMJ was tempting, but I think this is the right call.

It's a golden age of next-gen jammers!

Metzger sit in!! Woo!
Well, that was unexpected and... freakin great.
One nice thing about Mastodon is I can hypothetically say something like "man, I hate Brooklyn Bowl!" and not worry that anyone is gonna see it. 😂
@Neddyo It is totally a public space that is essentially private. I love it here!
@Neddyo Damn. That’s a twangathon in the best way.
@chopaganda Donato vs Metzger on a Willie Nelson cover? The twang was DEEP.
@Neddyo 20 years later, it *still *moves.
@liffy debated ending the recap with "it still moves? It still ROCKS!" but decided against it.
