Starting Back Up
The last time I blogged was February 29, 2020, a few weeks before the pandemic reached the US. Even though I started watching live music again back in May, 2021, I still hesitated to start this back up. This was mainly because I felt like this medium had grown obsolete, while other forms of social…

SOAK, Glastonbury’s gem!
On July 6, I caught a show by Irish singer/songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson, better known as SOAK. The Echo up in Silver Lake was the perfect venue for her intimate set. I’ll admit, I was scared when she walked out with just a guitar, and no backing band. Most stripped acts that I’ve seen have…
