The Wailin Jennys at Gravity Lounge

We typically spend the weekend with our friends. If you bothered to watch the video you can see that the setting is up close and personal. Just like we like it specifically at Joe s Pub in NYC . We rarely see shows outside of NY so I wasn t sure how Lois would react to the idea. I snagged two tickets online. There were roughly people on line in front of us. When they let us in we grabbed two seats in the third row dead center. Once our coats were on the seats we headed back to the cafe area and ordered wraps for dinner. The show was scheduled to begin at pm. At pm the place seemed relatively empty. We would have been surprised if there were people there by then. They started at around pm. The intimacy was amazing. This was like that too. When we saw the Jennys in Tarrytown we were in the th row dead center. that everything is wildly different about the experience. The leader of the group is Ruth Moody. She sings like an angel. In addition to an ang! elic voice Ruth plays the guitar banjo concertina small accordian percussion all brilliantly. Jeremy Penner doesn t sing but plays the fiddle and mandolin brilliantly. You could weep at some of his solos and they are reasonably generous in highlighting his skills. Their songs are gorgeous and flowing and the words are generally very powerful as well. That said the magic happens when they harmonize together. So how did this show compare to the one in Tarrytown For Lois this was much better. For me I loved last night s show but Tarrytown was better acoustically. Last night was a little more raw in that we were close to the speakers and in between them. As I mentioned for Tarrytown as well the Jennys connect with the audience wonderfully. They are so natural on the stage. That said the stories were mostly identical to the ones at Tarrytown delivered with the same apparent impromptu ness.

I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. I guess it doesn't bother me. I've just been letting everything happen without me recently. I don't care.
