You know it’s been far too long since you’ve seen an artist play when you’re at the show and they break out an “old tune” that you still consider to be one of the newer ones. That’s what happened to me Saturday night when I went to see Garen (AKA Kill The Alarm) at The Hotel Cafe. The whole experience was a blast from the past as Garen was a favorite from my college days. Thankfully, word on the street is that Garen will be moving to LA next year so hopefully my old vs new song classification will be more accurate in the near future.
We’ve got some tough choices to make next week, music-wise, mostly of the singer-songwriter vs. rock show variety. Wednesday night, however, is the last night of Zane Carney’s residency at Black Rabbit Rose before he heads off to Europe. Don’t miss out on that one.
