Maani, you can move this thread later if you want to...

Anyway, I just saw that they changed the "Wonderous Stories" concert at BB Kings here in NYC to a free concert.  So if anyone would like to see them, you need to contact BB Kings or pick up the tickets at their box office.  Here's the notice:

This might seem like a very ambitious gig to try and play, but these guys have the chops to pull it off. The group is led by their ringmaster Kenny Forgione on guitar and vocals. They are made up of polished professionals featuring Tommy Williams on guitars and vocals (he played guitar for Debbie Gibson), Kevin McCann who played guitars and bass (and plays for off-Broadway shows amongst other projects), Ricky Martinez on drums (he also does the drumming for T.V's "Sesame Street") and Keyboardist Chris Clark (who played keys for the John Entwistle band). This is not the line up of your ordinary 'cover band'... not by a long shot.

Oh.. but I missed the best concert at BB Kings.. and on Christmas Day no less...

MATISYAHU - 2004-12-25 - 8PM : Hasidic Reggae. In the crowded NYC reggae scene, Matisyahu literally stands out like no other. Beyond his versatile voice which ranges from sweet and fluid, to rough and rugged, he's a very unexpected face; standing over six feet tall, wearing the traditional garb of a Hasidic male. With his long beard and black hat, this 24-yr-old lyricist, MC, and beatboxer is a singular performer, whose power, poetry, and skills combine the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach, yet remaining wholly original.SHAKE OFF THE DUST...ARISE, Matisyahu’s new album out Oct. 12 on JDub Records, presents this remarkable performer as a a new cultural fusion, integrating the power of reggae music into his life in Crown Heights as he lives and studies Jewish texts among Brooklyn's Lubavitch community.

12/29 - The Machine (Pink Floyd tribute band)
1/2/05 - The Waiting Room (Genesis tribute band)
1/13 - Allan Holdsworth
1/14 - Mountain
