Curtis Harding plays Bowery Ballroom on 3/30

Curtis Harding plays Bowery Ballroom on 3/30

When we saw Curtis Harding at Glasslands way back in 2014, I wondered how long it would be before he was playing larger venues, such as Bowery Ballroom, and that the man should be a superstar. It’s taken longer than I thought, but Curtis finally plays at Bowery on the 30th of March, the show […]

Trump is still standing, the internet is no longer free and open, and we’re one year closer to the dreaded L train shutdown. But hey, at least we can finally dance… to these twenty-five albums.

Top 5 shows of the weekend

Greetings! While certain events this week have painted a rather sombre reality on a time that usually brings the city together with so much fun and creativity, we have to press on and do our best with our time here. Concentrating on better news, the city finally repealed the 91-year-old cabaret law so not only […]

Curtis Harding plays Rough Trade on the 2nd of November

If you’ve followed this site for the last few years you’ll know that we can’t sing the praises of Curtis Harding highly enough. I constantly describe him as the only contemporary soul artist who doesn’t sound derivative. After three years, he has a new album, Face Your Fear, coming out on the 27th of October via […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend

December 8, 2016 By Chris Quartly

Seems like a fairly normal week, local institutions announcing that they’re closing, crazy people making crazy threats, and maybe some good news with the opening of a new music venue. Plenty of great options this weekend and it’s going to be a cold one so what better way to get through it than with a […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend

March 4, 2016 By Chris Quartly

Seems like the year is in full throttle now, even with the handbrake turn that is a leap year, and here we are in March already. This weekend sees multiple bands with new records, anniversaries and one of my favourite artists of the last few years. If there isn’t something to love here then we […]

Curtis Harding plays Brooklyn Bowl on the 3rd of March

February 29, 2016 By Chris Quartly

Whenever I’m asked to name an artist or a record from the last few years that has really wowed me, I always name Curtis Harding. Born in Saginaw, MI, but settled in Atlanta, Georgia, after knocking out a 7″ with Night Sun (which also features Danny Lee of Night Beats along with Cole and Joe from Black Lips), Curtis […]

FREEwilliamsburg's Top 25 Albums of 2014

December 26, 2014 By Peter Rittweger

Photo via BK Mag 2014 will be a year bookended by loss in Williamsburg. When 285 Kent closed its doors in January, it was like a shotgun blast through the heart of the local music community. While it was true that Williamsburg had been condofying for years, and spots like Monster Island, Secret Project Robot, […]

Live Review: Curtis Harding played Mercury Lounge and Glasslands

June 13, 2014 By Chris Quartly

Curtis Harding was in New York this week for a couple of shows. His debut album, Soul Power, is so good I decided to go to both. I was excited about the Mercury Lounge show because it’s a great sounding room and I thought would suit the material to a tee. The only downer was that there was […]

Curtis Harding plays Mercury Lounge and Glasslands this week

June 9, 2014 By Chris Quartly

Curtis Harding has got it. I don’t know what it is, no-one does, but we all know it when we hear it. For me, this ambiguous statement is even more true when it comes to one of my great loves, soul music, whose golden period of the 60s and 70s still sounds fresh but has […]
