what they say about it:

The show features great local songwriter and alt-country champion Matt
Keating with his band, as well as Misra recording artist and
ambient/mazzy-star oriented songwriter Emily Rodgers from Pittsburgh
with her band and host Rebecca Pronsky will open the evening with her
trio, debuting some new tunes and playing a few old favorites.  All our

On Tuesday, OTBKB Music favorite Sasha Dobson will be playing at The
Rockwood Music Hall.  Although Sasha is now part of the Norah Jones
Touring Band, she's taking the night off to play her own new material,
which will be on Sasha's new EP, due imminently, perhaps
at this show.  Although Sasha is going on late, it is well worth your
while to catch this talented artist.

Sasha Dobson, The Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen Street (F Train to Second Avenue, take the First Avenue exit), 11pm, No Cover
