On a fabulous Fat Tuesday night (March 5, 2019) I thoroughly enjoyed my first-time experience dining and dancing at Pearl Street Warehouse (PSW). According to their website, PSW showcases rock, country, folk, soul, bluegrass, rhythm, and blues acts from around the country; offering every seat in the house a front row experience.
On Saturday February 16th, the Gin Blossoms returned to State Theater in Falls Church VA and this year marks the 30th year as a music venue.
Walking up to the State Theater, it looks just like that, a theater. You walk in and it still has the charm of an old fashioned movie theater but then you walk into the main hall, that’s when the old mixes with the new in the form of a music venue.
The spirit of Christmas was festive on Tuesday, December 18th when local artist PJ Morgan shared his talents with a lively audience at the City Winery. The venue, in Washington D.C., is not only a music venue and full-service winery but also serves a restaurant. Before enjoying the concert, I partook in a delicious meal.
For my first course, I decided on the Ivy City Wings, which marinated in a white wine sauce. The wings were very flavorful. One of the first things I look for in sauced wings
David Cook took the stage with his band at the City Winery D.C. This is David’s first acoustic tour, he and his band spent time re-working songs to play acoustically which gave his songs an updated sound they were looking forward to playing.
Friday, October 19th Lindsey Buckingham performed at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. to support the release of new Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham CD Set. The Warner Theatre was filled with fans whose excitement to see Lindsey live was evident all night long.
I will admit, I am a big Lindsey Buckingham fan. I first saw him live in 1993 at the Bayou in Georgetown, Washington D.C. which unfortunately is no longer there. Some of the biggest bands have made a pass through The Bayou. For me when I think of my favorite artists who I would love to see live in in concert, Lindsey Buckingham is in the top 5.
John Lodge and his band started the show at 8pm sharp which is unusual. Usually shows start at least a few minutes late but not this show. I have been a fan of The Moody Blues ever since I was a kid. I am not young, but there were a lot of fans at this show that have been fans of The Moody Blues since the beginning of the band back in 1964, which is a few years before my time, but not by much!
Chris Isaak has an amazing voice. He has been compared to a few of my favorite artists of all times, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. I love the beautiful, yet eerie at times voice of Roy Orbison. Not many performers can sing in the manner of Roy Orbison, but Chris Isaak sure can. He also is great with Elvis’ songs, not as great as Roy’s songs in my opinion but still very good. But Chris Isaak covering Roy Orbison or Elvis songs is not the reason I like Chris Isaak. He is a masterful songwriter. He has written hit songs for other artists and has had good success with his music doing well also.
On Saturday August 25th, Dave Mason and Steve Cropper performed at the Baltimore Soundstage. Opening the night, the Dave Mason Band, sans Dave Mason and Steve Cropper came on stage to warm up the crowd. As one of them said, they really needed to warm us up since they had the AC cranked down to 65. It was cool, but not bad. Once the stage lights came on and the band started to play, that changed quickly!
Dave Mason’s band, played for about 30 minutes to warm up the audience. The resume of the Dave Mason band is impressive.
