Evelyn, Evelyn Private show at The Slipper Room, 1/12/10

Evelyn, Evelyn, the conjoined twin singer(s)-songwriter(s) played a private, tune-up show for fans at the Slipper Room in NYC the afternoon of 1/12/10.

For more on the sisters, see this internet entry.

To avoid knowing too much, don't look here.

Photography wasn't permitted. I was too great a fan of everyone involved to violate that request.

It was a special event. Be sure to check them out when they tour and release their next album.

Ingrid Michaelson's Holiday Hop 2009 at City Winery, 12/21/09

Ingrid Michaelson, her wonderful band and friend Greg Laswell held their third annual Holiday Hop at City Winery on Monday, December 21st, 2009.

Her good friend (very very good friend?) Greg Laswell opened the show.

This is a really talented, very tight band. The multi-talented Bess Rogers is hidden in this shot unfortunately.

See more high-rs shots in my Flickr photoset.

This was show number 50. I'll post more about the project and an incredible year of music after Xmas. The amazing Nick Sonderup of 100bandsin100days and his muse Sunshine joined my wife and I for dinner and the show. Make sure you check Nick's blog for the soon-to-be-released short documentary of his project. Stay tuned for a new music blog by Nick with some photography by me if I'm lucky.

Show # 50!
