As I am writing this, getting ready to leave the office and head home for my last test run of an onion-and-collard stuffing (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!), I have music playing in one ear, am monitoring the WNHH radio stream in another, and am thinking hard about how much I have to […]

A Night At Lyric Hall – Lucy Gellman
When a dear friend of mine, Jon Stone of 10,000 Blades, told me that he was setting up for an exhibition at Lyric Hall, I got pretty darn excited. Here are a few photos from that magical installation.
Jamming Out to JOATA – Lucy Gellman
Hi New Haveners! Lucy here. Just in case you missed the spectacular performance Saturday night at the College Street Music Hall, during which José Oyola & the Astronauts totally rocked it after an exhaustive, killer 5-band lineup, here are a few photos.

In theory, I’ve known Silas since last year, when I […]
Lifting Our Spirits – Lucy Gellman
Fun fact, New Haveners: John Ginnetti is leading Spirit Seminars, a collaboration between his bar 116 Crown and the Wine Thief, at the bar’s Crown street location through December. They happen every two weeks or so, and meld history with process: Ginnetti and his colleagues explain to a handful of attendees how each spirit is […]
