If you want nyctaper to record your band, a band you represent, a show you're promoting, or even your favorite band in the world, get me on the list and make sure everyone who needs to approve [...]

[ photo by nyctaper ] Two things became abundantly clear to me as I watched Sharon Van Etten's performance last Saturday at the Kevchino -produced show at Union Pool . First, given the packed crowd and the rapt attention that they paid to the performer, at this point in her career it is clear that Sharon can headline a venue of this size. The second fact is that I have simply not seen Sharon often enough this year. Other than her guest appearance at the Antlers CD release show [...]

So enough with the blather and let's get to your weekend soundtrack! Slowcoustic Saturday Playlist (November Edition) ~ Wonder Stranger [...]

[ photo by nyctaper ] Natureboy is the musical project of singer-songwriter Sara Kermanshahi. Sara has been on our radar for about a year, so we decided to check her out at the Kevchino -produced show this past Saturday opening for nyctaper-favorite Sharon Van Etten at Union Pool . The live Natureboy is a trio, as Sara is backed by Cedar Apffel and Rory O'Connor (i.e. Masterface ) on guitar, bass, drums, laptop and effects. The performance at Union Pool was truly a revelation. Sara's voice [...]
