Sorry for the absence of this here column last week; I got hit with an acute case of tonsillitis which definitely killed my Monday pretty badly. Felt like I was swallowing razorblades....but the good news is that it got me to the doctor to get some killer horse-pills to... more

This week in NYC shows is a crazy one, with the CMJ Music Marathon officially taking over a good chunk of NYC's clubs and venues. CMJ is a bit like NYC's version of SXSW with industry panels, showcase events, day parties, and all manner of nighttime parties and multi-band extravaganzas.... more

LMB NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar – Sept 13 – 19
This is another one of those week's of live music in NYC that requires some serious skills with scheduling and logistics. There are a ton of great shows and there's just not enough time, energy, and cash flow to take them all in. Since I'm still out of pocket, and... more

I'm out of pocket this week and man...it looks like I picked a bad week to head out of town. There are a bunch of interesting shows going on this week with plenty of options for dancing, rocking, and jammin'. For the full-on jammy goodness, Umphrey's McGee is doing... more
LMB NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar – Aug 30 – Sept 5

NYC's live music scene continues to bang on through the heat & humidity with an interesting mix of shows this week. We've got some well-known, genre-crossing singer-songwriters like Bon Iver and Bob Dylan...you may have heard of him. If you're more into dreamy synth-based rock that harkens back to 80s,... more
