LIVE REVIEW: Georgia Anne Muldrow + Dudley Perkins in NYC (Video)

Rhyson Hall writes:

Georgia Anne Muldrow needs a band. More accurately, Georgia Anne Muldrow is a band, she just needs her instruments. All the time. At every show.

But even without them, she and Dudley Perkins successfully warmed up a frigid evening at SOB’s with just a CDJ and the fOnk. At her first NYC show in six years, they may have forgotten how “cool” NYC crowds can be, even when someone they want to see is performing, as indicated by Dudley yelling “Ya’ll Scary!” after our halfhearted attempts at clapping. “Lets see if you can snap. Can you snap?” Singing and rapping songs from early releases and her most recent recordings …

Live Review – Tanya Morgan in The High Fidelity Tour (Video) (Video)

Tanya Morgan kicked off the High Fidelity tour at SOB’s last night to a warm crowd of supporters and artists. YC The Cynic and P.SO performed and promoted their upcoming releases. YC The Cynic is an up-and-coming emcee from the Bronx worth checking for. He recently dropped Your Welcome and is performing all over NYC. The talented emcee/producer P.SO (formerly P.Casso) of the AOK Collective performed new music from his upcoming release Moontones and turned a Guitar Hero controller into an MPC, recreating popular beats on stage.

Live Review: Nneka @ SOB’s in NYC (02.02.10)

As told by Rhyson Hall:

I’m glad I didn’t hear all the comparisons before hand.  “She’s the new Lauryn Hill!”  “She’s the next Erykah Badu!”  “She can sing and rap!”  “Did you see her hair? It’s wonderful!”  I probably would have walked in to SOB’s as a jaded fan, diametrically opposing the warm vibe in the venue for the third stop on her first U.S. tour.  Instead, I settled in up front, between the few videographers and photographers allowed to film the performance; one that will be sure to impress critics entice new fans and empower old ones.  Nneka is here.
