Hi, Sherman Boim's NY Power Pop Page is a standard guide. Even when the show list is not updated (such as now -tsk tsk) Sherman has links to the websites of most NY venues. It is here: http://powerpop.home.att.net/index.htm I subscribe to Pollstar.com. In addition to The Times and The Village Voice and Time Out and New York, it is an invaluable resource for shows. I paid the $10 for the premium service. I get an e-mail per day which details the additions to the schedule of every NY venue I have included. Also in that e-mail are new tour dates for my favorite bands. On Friday the 7th, I am risking Sly Stone at BB KIng's. Hey, you never know. Here is the Pollstar listing for the dates you are in NY. Have a wonderful time; it isn't a bad town. Henry Date Artist Venue Sat 12/01/07 The Blind Boys Of Alabama B.B.

I've looked through some of the usual sites (Ticketmaster, etc) but haven't found much. Does anybody know of any concerts that might be appealing to a member of the audities community during those dates, or know of the best concert venues to search.

I've used this a few times to find shows in cities I'll be visiting, and it also keeps me informed of local shows I may otherwise miss. joe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:29:49 +0000 (GMT) From: plattc@optonline.net To: audities@smoe.org Cc: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Concerts in NYC Message-ID: e2e58af0d480.472f6f2d@optonline.net Couple of cool shows at Joe's Pub that week -- Losers Lounge Tribute to Paul McCartney, and Justin Currie, former lead of Del Amitri. www.joespub.com It's worth checking out www.livingroomny.com as that week approaches too -- Jim Boggia is doing a run of Monday nights there, always worth checking out, Mike Viola plays there on occasion, plenty of Audities-type fare hit there. Calendar is only out to Thanksgiving at this point though. At Maxwell's, in Hoboken (maxwellsnj.com), Yo La Tengo are doing an extended run for most of your stay (and most of which is already sold out). For short-range planning, you can always pick up a current copy of Time Out New York when you arrive -- a lot of smaller venues will be covered that might have something right up your alley....
