The stage is cloaked in mystery, or at least a red fog, before the Stromae concert begins. Here with Claire, Sophie and her gf Ella.

 

Recently got to go see Arturo Sandoval at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle.

I posted a pic online and, well, a good bit of the band decided they'd post that picture as well, including the man himself!

Then we got to have a performance of Autumn Leaves by Deeds/Deedles/Diane Schuur (if anyone knows/of her).

First time at that jazz club, and won't be my last.

 

Saw my favorite band (or the lead singer Mark Burgess and other non-original members) The Chameleons last night.  Met the guitarist in the Mexican restaurant next door, had a nice chat.  Got to meet up with several folks I know from FB-land, one couple came from about 2 hours away!  Fun times!

After their set, Mark came out and was chatting with a bunch of us at the Merchandise table.  I got this idea - having had my son with me to see his two-person live show recently - to ask him to wish my son a happy birthday for next month.  Mark was awesome to oblige, and I have a nice video I will send Andrew on his BDay!

 

Arcade Fire last night in SF.

Full house, the crowd was ready to party and the band showed up and brought the energy. Most fun show I’ve been to all year. If you like these guys, catch them on this tour!

Recorded Lauren Morrow (opener) and Drivin' N' Cryin' in knoxville last night:

Titus Andronicus - nice refreshing break from work politics

 

Weyes Blood last night in SF.

A lovely gal with a lovely voice I could listen to all day.

saw the Taj Mahal Quartet in a small theater in knoxville last night.  It was fantastic.  If my recording turned out I'll post it soon.

I wasn't expecting an Alanis cover

Rodrigo and Gabriella last night @ the Fox Theater in Oakland.

Love that these two are still doing their thing and fun to get to see them at my favorite Bay Area venue.

That woman can really play some rhythm guitar! Rod ain’t bad on lead either.

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals 

 

Don Was is a brilliant bass player.

A friend of Joannes was unable to use her tickets, so tonight, we enjoyed the majesty of  harmonized human voices, thanks to Chanticleer, at an appropriate venue.

I was going to ask why they're called "Dirty Cello", but after seeing said cello (and having owned Quad 12L's in gloss black), I think I know.

That lady squashed my theory that some instruments cannot be played standing. I still think that they shouldn't.

Who is that, Mike?

That's what I assumed but then I looked up where he was playing. Are you visiting grandkids? 

I'm at my daughters, so I'm getting some grandson time. Helping my son drive up to Boston for school.
