Baby's First Concert: Amanda Thorpe @ The Living Room @ 6:45pm tonight

Mom is taking me to my first concert tonight.
"Why are you so excited?"


"Mom is taking me to my first concert tonight."















This is the first time I'm doing anything besides swim, poop or eat grass.


"Who you seeing?"


"Amanda Thorpe at The Living Room at 6:45pm. This is the first time I'm doing anything besides swim, poop or eat grass."





"That's nice."


"I'm going to sit here a while and think about Amanda's new record, "Promenade," then I'm going to wish happy birthday to my friend, Alison Leigh, then I'm going to do my happy dance again."

I'm just going to sit here a while, then I'm going to do my happy dance again.

Amanda Thorpe Record Release @ The Living Room @ Mon. @ 6:45pm

Harvey the incognito dog has gone undercover.

He was supposed to sniff luggage at JFK tomorrow but instead he’s infiltrating a rare live performance by Amanda Thorpe of her new recording, Promenade, at The Living Room @ Monday night @ 6:45pm.
Promenade was produced with Brad Albetta and Don Piper,  guest musicians include: Tony Scherr, Rob Jost, Craig Chesler, and Rob DiPietro to name a few.  
Show is tomorrow night, Nov 21st @ 6:45pm. @ The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street.
Here’s what two critics have to say about Amanda’s work. “Amanda Thorpe brings the concept of the chanteuse into the 21st century. Held together as much by Thorpe's versatile singing as by her love noir vision, she silkily moves through the crowd with a drink in one hand, the other, lightly brushing your shoulder as it passes by.” HIGH BIAS Michael Toland. "Thorpe...balanced brassiness and vulnerability with panache"--Variety.com.

Sleep Comes Down ~ Tommy's Next Reading ~ this Fri, Apr 23rd @ 8pm @ Living Room, Park Slope


From 1968 through 1972, I performed weekdays at LaSalle Academy for classroom audiences of 40 students. At lunchtime, the East Village mob grew to 200 in the school's gymnasium. A tough crowd, I grew thick skin. I've invited a few of my LaSalle chums to roll down memory lane with me on Friday.
