Over the past week, I took in two shows that were quite different from each other but equally enjoyable. Read on for my thoughts about seeing Crocodiles at Glasslands and Town Hall's album release show at The Studio at Webster Hall.
Tomorrow night (April 15), Town Hall will celebrate the release of their debut album Roots and Bells with a show at The Studio at Webster Hall. They're playing not one but two sets and it should be a great time. Read on for more details.
Crocodiles will be playing tomorrow night at Glasslands in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Should be a great show. Read on for more details and to sample a song from their forthcoming album. Hope to see you there!
Yamandu Costa is performing in Baltimore this April 21st at 8:00 at Kaplan Concert Hall in Towson University. The concert is being put on by the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society and tickets can be purchased in advance here.
Speaking as a whole, Baltimore is not primarily thought of for its flourishing classical guitar scene, but the BCGS has routinely brought in world class acts to amplify the arts community in town alongside the stellar local academic institutions and their notable alumni. Yamandu's playing is ripe is virtuosity, humor, and warmth, and the concert promises to be an engaging and satisfying musical experience.
Read on for a brief history of the artist as well as a video of the attached mp3 brought to us by way of Rio de Janerio and DobleChapa films. You dig?

Tuesday night's performance will feature Charles Sekel and Carlo Neda on synths, keyboard and vocals, Jonathan Goldberger on guitar, Zach Honoroff on drums and Zak Croxall on bass.

The show is 21 and older so bring your ID and take advantage of the excellent craft beer selection. The festival also features the music of Jett Brando, My Short Happy Life, and Machine Life.
The full EP is streaming via Youtube for your listening pleasure, but the audience should also be on the look out for new material Tuesday night.
