If You Stay, Then Stay and Leave It at That, But If You Go, Don't Forget Your Hat

March Loves You
Richard Julian is joined by Mitchell Froom for an ultra-intimate night at Genghis Cohen on Saturday. Froom produced his new album Sunday Morning in Saturday's Shoes out now through Manhattan Records. A staple in the New York singer-songwriter scene for years, legend has it he tried to move to Los Angeles as a teenager but fate turned him back around to the East Coast. An unfortunate turn of events for L.A. since we feel the home of Randy Newman, Chuck E. Weiss, Rickie Lee Jones, and Largo would have fit him like a glove. In any case, we last saw him open for our old friend Norah Jones at the Greek a few years ago but he returns this time playing the 100-capacity Cantina with the genius that is Mr. Froom -- yes, that's Charlotte's papa. This should be quite a lovely evening.

Also this weekend: The one and only Creekbird on "Demolisten" tonight. Ariel Pink and Bobb Bruno at The Smell. El Ten Eleven, Signal Hill, The Drift, and The Littlest Viking at pehrspace. You Me and Iowa and The Antiques at Spaceland. 1st All-star Rock benefit "Give Me Shelter" at the Knitting Factory with performances by Camp Freddy, Linda Perry, and The Section Quartet. The Meadows at Molly Malone's... I Make This Sound and Vaudeville lead an impressive lineup at pehrspace on Saturday. While Divisadero plays at Crane's. And Advanced Beginner and Ladybird play Echo Curio. And Sierra Swan opens for Firebug at their CD release show at Spaceland... Sunday, Vaudeville and Future of the Ghosts join forces at Alex's Bar.
