Maybe your New Year’s Eve plans have fallen through, or maybe you
just kept putting off planning what it was your were going to do or
maybe you just don’t want to empty your bank account to do something
overpriced and under wonderful.  But whatever the reason, New Year’s
Eve is tomorrow and there’s nothing on your calendar.

Here’s the last refuge for you last minute types.  The Rockwood Music Hall
will be sticking to it’s usual policy on New Year’s Eve.  That means no
reservations.  There’s no cover charge with a one drink per set minimum
(but a $5 contribution for each band is requested).  Not only will they
will have a full night of music, but OTBKB Music fave James Maddock
will be playing during the 10pm to midnight slot.  Not only is James a
great live performer but his album, Sunrise on Avenue C, is on the OTBKB Music Top Ten for 2009.

The only downside is the size of the Rockwood; it holds only about
40 people in the main room, which is where the stage is.  There’s a
back room which holds about another 25 or so, and it does have a closed
circuit TV view of the stage.  So if you want to see James, get there
early, maybe an hour early.

James Maddock, The Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen Street (F or V Trains to Second Avenue, use the First Avenue exit), 10pm-midnight
