Jonathan Richman at Cedar Cultural Center (June 03, 2012)

We saw Richman many moons ago in June 2012: “Jonathan Richman has the kind of rock ‘n roll holiness reserved for someone like Leonard Cohen. But where Cohen is all hushed poetic passages and melancholy overtures, Richman inspires the kind of reaction that could only be found in a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. Dressed in yoga pants and slippers, with a long-sleeved green shirt over a black and white striped shirt, Richman padded across the Cedar Cultural Center’s stage looking like a Parisian street corner balladeer, his arms wide open ready to embrace the entire audience. An excited young fan near the front held up a glittery and feathered sign (“Jonathan, be my little dinosaur”) and Richman pointed at it and smiled and then patted his chest in gratitude as the entire room erupted in applause.”

Jesse Woods at Bootleg, Los Angeles (Jan 22, 2014)

We’ve seen both musicians individually, with Day in July 2015 at the 7th Street Entry and Woods in Jan 2014: “Everyone’s favorite cowboy Jesse Woods from Austin, TX is in Los Angeles this week playing some fantastic shows all over town. Last night, he graced the Bootleg Theater in Echo Park along with La Luz and Pure Bathing Culture. Jesse was accompanied by a band, which he later told me was a new addition to his sets. This is my third time seeing Jesse and the band only made his performance even more cinematic and dreamy. Adding in the low-lit grungy vibe of Bootleg, the setting was perfect for a magical night with heartfelt tunes.”

Esther Rose to open. She previously opened for Pokey LaFarge Nov 2021
