Emily Wells headlined the show at City Winery on Saturday, January 2, 2010.
Playing unaccompanied by other humans, Emily proceeded to create, on-the-fly, amazing mixes of her songs.
Don't miss a chance to see her play.
NY Magazine liked this one for their Vulture blog NYE weekend slideshow.

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.

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!
Sid 'n Susie (Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs) played City Winery on 9/11/09.
This was the second show of their tour supporting their latest album Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, Under the Covers Vol. 2 (Check out Michael Giltz's review in the Huffington Post).
They had a few slip ups, forgetting lyrics and vocal parts, but they laughed it off and played on through. They showed us their fake book on which they relied heavily.
Technical problems didn't help; Matthew's guitar broke and was poorly repaired. He played a new, inexpensive guitar he had just bought. Susanna's guitar was left in a cab that day. They were accompanied by Matthew's friend and bandmate Paul Chastain. HE had his guitar and leant it to Susanna for a small Bangles medley late in the show.

I shot this show for Venuszine. Their review of the show, by Eleanor Whitney, is here. This certainly describes my experience of the show.
I deleted a semi-anonymous panning of the show on my Flickr photostream. Had they published their name or had anything public in their photostream I would have left it visible.
They'll be back at City Winery for two shows in November. May have to go back to hear them with all their proper gear.
Show # 40
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.
Better viewed on Flickr.

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
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.

Better pics than mine by danback on Flickr. Helps to sit in the front row.
On Rufus' website message boards you can read about the setlist and Rufus' after show schmoozing.
