"There will be a standby line on the night of the shows and people will be admitted on a first come, first-served basis as seats become available." That's what Wall Street Rising's website says about the next seven days of sold out free shows happening at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Count on some of those people who got their free tickets a month ago not showing up and get there early tonight for the Cat Power show. Hopefully she'll preview some of her dreamy new material. Grammy award-winning blues and gospel group Blind Boys of Alabama share the bill.
This week we also welcome the Country Music Awards to NYC. The actual event is Tuesday night at MSG, but you can get in the spirit tonight with a country music happy hour at Knitting Factory followed by a pre-CMA performance by Lee Ann Womack and Shooter Jennings at Bowery Ballroom.

I love Cat Power's music, but her live shows are such a crapshoot. Sometimes they're heartbreakingly good (by the way, the new track is fantastic). But other times, it's like watching a train wreck. She can get so nervous and uncomfortable on stage -- forgeting lyrics, guitar chords, etc -- that you start to get angry you spent $20+ to see her perform.
Jorge Drexler (you know him from the Academy Awards.... Antonio Bandera sang his song... blah) is going to be excellent! I also just saw a bunch of folks in cowboy hats outside Joe's Pub. awesome.
I recommend the $5 show with the Head Set at Pianos.
if you like bluegrass, catch The Shiftless Rounders show at the Living Room at 7 before heading to see Greg Garing at the Mercury Lounge
they're dang good live.
how could you miss HULA COUGAR! tonight at Lit? 10:30pm. $5. click our name for videoing!
Who was playing on top of the MSG sign this morning?? I thought for sure that Gothamist would have the scoop... it certainly sounded like country.
