Robbie Robertson, originally part of The Band, has just come out with a new record, How to Become Clairvoyant. Robbie appeared on David Letterman on Tuesday night to play one song from it, He Don’t Live Here No More live. His band for the gig (and a few other live ones coming up) was Dawes, who I have been following for a while now (see photos from a show Dawes played in New York City last summer here). You can see the video posted at Now I’ve Heard Everything by clicking here.
Tonight you’ll find James Maddock playing a full band show over at The Bowery Electric. James is certainly a favorite around here. He had a wonderful album out last year, James Maddock Live at Rockwood Music Hall, which demonstrates how good he is live. And James’ shows are not only excellent musically, they are just plain fun. Joining James will be his band, Oli Rockberger (piano), John Shannon (guitar), Drew Mortali (bass), Aaron Comess (drums) and Leslie Mendelson (vocals and tambourine).
