Tomorrow night (Tuesday the 22nd) there are two excellent shows
available to you; one early and one late.  Of course, you can always
choose to go to both.

Early: Charlie Faye.  Charlie and her excellent band, The Jerks, make
music that's at the place where rock, alt country and blues all blend
into each other.  Charlie's album, Wilson Street, made my Top 10 list
for this year.  An Austin resident, Charlie's visits to NYC don't come
often enough, and the next one isn't scheduled until July.  So this is
the time to see Charlie up close and personal.

Charlie Faye, The
Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street, (F
Train to Second Avenue, use the First Avenue exit), 8pm

Late:  Sasha Dobson and her band.  Sasha started playing with guitarist
Steve Elliot about a year ago and has moved from the jazz-folk-samba
material she was playing to a more straight-ahead rock style.  With
Steve's lead guitar moving towards Dire Straits territory, Sasha's new
batch of songs are all terrific.  Since this is the release show for
Sasha's new CD, you'll be able to take it all home with you.

Sasha Dobson, The Rockwood Music Hall, 196 Allen
Street (F Train to
Second Avenue, use the First Avenue exit), 11pm
