It was a challenging show to shoot with only ambient light.
Show #16
Guster, The Apples in Stereo, The Feelies (with Peter Buck sitting in) and more of Mike Mills. See them in the Flickr slideshow on the post below, or even better use the link to see them larger on Flickr.
The night after her moving performance at the R.E.M. Tribute at Carnegie Hall, Ingrid brought the whole band to City Winery.
Ingrid's band is:
Allie Moss -- guitar/vocals
Elliot Jacobson -- drums
Chris Kuffner -- bass
Bess Rogers -- guitar
One of the highlights was Ingrid and Chris performing her amazing cover of R.E.M.'s Nighswimming. Here's their version from Later with Jools Holland.
Sorry to Elliot Jacobson. Just never got a good shot of him all night.

Show # 15
With performances by NJ band The Bongos, Glen Hansard, Guster and more, this was really a separate show.
It will take me some time to process all the great photos. Check back on the Flickr stream over the next few days for more.
The whole set will be in the Flickr set.
Show # 14
Michael Dorf of the Kintting Factory and the new City Winery put together this benefit concert for musical education programs.
Most of these shots were with my point and shoot, but I whipped the big camera out for the very end. After party shots are better and in another post.
It was a wonderful night with tremendous performances of R.E.M. songs by a unique range of artists. Many played at the after party where I used my SLR, so their photos will appear in that post.
View on Flickr too.
Rolling Stone online has a small review that includes the setlist.

I saw Missy open for Ben Folds in this same venue on 9/30/09. This time she was back headlining the show.
And she delivered a great performance that moved the crowd after a pretty long night of music. Highly recommended if you get a chance to see her.

A revealing interview from last year at AfterEllen.com.
And a recent interview on blogcritics.org.

Ok, so something is wrong with the flash player I use to embed audio. Head back to one of my other Missy Higgins posts to hear some of her work.
Show #12
Justin Nozuka was a big draw for much of the crowd at Terminal 5 Friday night.
Not quite my demographic. :) But he was earnest, played well and sounded good.

Show # 12
Lenka was the opening act at Terminal 5 Friday, April 6th. She easily charmed the crowd and played a strong set of songs from her 2008 self-titled debut album.
It won't be long before she's headlining shows in New York City...
"Lost at E Minor" has a good interview of Lenka.

Show # 12
Anathallo visited John Schaefer's WNYC radio show 'Soundcheck' the afternoon before this show. My wife and I decided to try to see them if the timing was right after Rufus Wainwright's Blackoutsabbath show. It was meant to be because we made it over to the Mercury Lounge with plenty of time to spare - and there were tickets available.
And it was well worth the effort. They played much of their new album 'Canopy Glow.' Check it out.

Show #11
For a photoblog, this entry is going to be a big disappointment. This was an all acoustic, candle-lit show to promote Blackoutsabbath, an event to get people to think about their energy use and relation to the sustainability of the planet. For twelve hours on June 20th people are asked to gather with family and friends, turn off all electricity and make a kist of things to do in the coming year to reduce their impact on planet earth.
So I had my little point and shoot and just about no light to make it work. Use your imagination.
The show started with everyone coming out to sing acapella. Biggest surprise friend - David Byrne. The lineup also featured Teddy Thompson, Jenni Muldaur, Lucy Wainwright Roche and Sloan Wainwright. Even a few minutes of Janeane Garafalo.
Here are my pathetic shots.

On Rufus' website message boards you can read about the setlist and Rufus' after show schmoozing.
