Margaret Glaspy
with Tasha
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com
Margaret Glaspy is touring in support of her new album Echo The Diamond (ATO Records).
We saw Margaret Glaspy at Rock the Garden on 22 July 2017, and noted, “New York, by the way of California, Margaret Glaspy, with new bassist Daniel and drummer Tim Kuhl, started Rock the Garden 2017 off to a proper start. The majority of her set is taken from her solo debut album Emotions and Math (ATO Records), but you can tell that the former The Fundies singer was hard at work writing new songs. She played two of them near the end of her set, the latter of the two had some of the best lyrics, “I’m not your father, I’m not your mother. I’m not your sister trying to waste your time. I’m not the tax man.””
Tasha to open.
