Throwing Muses: Live @ Bowery Ballroom NYC





























Family Affair: Throwing Muses joined by sometime bandmate (and Kristin Hersh's half sister) 
Tanya Donelly for two full sets of Muses and Donelly solo songs (with a crowd-pleasing "Slow Dog"
 by Tanya's 90s pop band Belly). When Ms. Hersh was asked by a crowd member how she felt about 
  playing with Tanya again, she looked forward and gave a righteous thumbs up. Solid musicianship, 
ageless vocal prowess and intense stage mannerisms were met with a homegrown, comfortable
 family "living room" feel. Having had other positive live experiences with Hersh, Donelly and Co., 
this was exactly what I expected and the show did not disappoint in any way. Cheers, folks. Well done!

Patti Smith's FINAL Bowery Ballroom New Years Eve Show



























Patti Smith is joined on stage by Michael Stipe for what she announced will be her final New Year's Eve show at Bowery Ballroom after 14 years there.  I feel so blessed that my friends and I got to witness this spectacle 7 years in a row.  Patti, her band and her special guests will be greatly missed.
