Joan Osborne / Ollabelle / Elizabeth Mitchell - City Winery - May 12, 2013

 

Billed as Joan Osborne’s First Annual Mother’s Day Benefit Concert With Special Guest Ollabelle & Elizabeth Mitchell,  Sunday's show was a really wonderful event filled with an harmoniously talented group of musicians. The benefit was put together to raise money for two charities.  First, for the Somaly Mam Foundation which is a nonprofit organization committed to ending sex slavery.  And second for Save the Children which is an nonprofit organization for children in need throughout the world. Below are photos from the show and set lists, which overlap since musicians sat in on each other's set.  Please check back for my write up.

The Presets / Dragonette / Classixx - Terminal 5 - May 8, 2013

Wednesday night's evening of dance music felt like a nice change from the Indie / Songwriter-singer sort of bands I usually see perform.  All 3 bands ensured that the audience attained a high off of their music.  At least that's the way I felt and all I was drinking was water.  I will be writing about all three bands but for now, here are photos and set lists for each band by order of appearance.
