So I just got a job, which is great news, but I have even better news — I’m playing at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg this Sunday night! It’s going to be a pull-out-all-the-stops no-holds-barred acoustic-solo-singer-songwriter event.
I think it should be a lot of fun. If you’re busy or you can’t go out at 10:30 p.m. on a Sunday night because we’re all adults now, tell your friends looking for a party on a Sunday night that they should go! Josh Ritter’s girlfriend told me that Pete’s Candy Store is cool when I interviewed her for a story about cheap Christmas presents. (That’s like my one “cool guy living in a cool city” story so far.)
Here are the details:

Oh! My BlackbirdFronted by lead vocalist and guitarist Annie Sullivan, alt-folk trio Oh! My Blackbird harnesses the magic of close vocal harmonies and pissed off early-twentysomethings lyrics. With Nick Jozwiak (cello, bass, auto harp) and Veronica Kohl (tambourine, vocals), the self-described “gritty, New York City hippies” create a tight yet playful folk pop sound.
