We find the balms as we do in these times, and last night's show by #Annahstasia at the @cafedunord.bsky.social (the Swedish American in particular) was absolutely one of them. The attention she's now getting is well deserved, so do yourself a favor and check out the album/see her live.

thanks for the love @sfexaminer.bsky.social and James Salazar "Operators say that the full-time performance venue hosts more than 170 shows a year — most featuring independent performers in genres including electronic, hip hop and rock — to sold-out crowds of 300 people"

A wonderful show last night at the Swedish American Hall at @cafedunord.bsky.social, with @gruffrhys.bsky.social showcasing _American Interior_, @chrisforsyth.bsky.social with a lovely opening set plus appearing with Gruff on a song, and an audience volunteer as a Canadian assassin. (Long story.)

I watched BBMAK at Cafe Du Nord last night and was on cloud nine. A good song from my prepubescent years and still holds up!

The Arcadian Wild has me intriged.

always love seeing familiar names playing Stern Grove Festival The California Honeydrops 10.7.20 Michael Franti & Spearhead 04.1.22 Orville Peck 16.5.15 ASTU 22.5.20

6.18 Oso Oso - $10 Bill Tour (selling fast) bask in their sound that ranges from compact and unfussy indie rock to emo-punk 6.26 Annahstasia bringing artistic works steeped in fantasy and romanticism 7.19 The Arcadian Wild combining elements of progressive bluegrass, folk, and formal vocal music

I had the unbelievably good fortune to attend this intimate, mostly acoustic Fountains of Wayne show at Cafe du Nord in '09. It was one of the best concerts I've ever attended, hands down. I loved the way they upended audience expectations and breathed new life into this seemingly oversaturated...

just casually playing Tim and James for the weekend vibes

Been banging the drum for @jensenmcrae.bsky.social for a few years now -- I'll link to my description of the show I saw in 2023 in a followup post -- so I'll just note she's on Dead Oceans now, new album soon, tour forthcoming, surprised she's not more famous, really. New single!

February 15, 2025 - Tomberlin @ Cafe Du Nord Third time getting to see Sarah Beth. Would have been fourth, but I wasn't able to catch the tour with Alex G. I'm glad to see how much fun she is having with it these days. Particularly when the audience decides to sing along.

February 15, 2025 - Lomelda @ Cafe Du Nord I think this was my fourth time seeing Hannah. This one was much more experimental than the last few. Lots of interesting loops and accompaniment via harmonium, keys and EWI (electric wind instrument).
