Last November I was invited down to The Gibson Lounge to the Hotel Cafe Tour featuring Rachael Yamagata, Josua Radin, Cary Borthers, Joe Purdy, Jim Bianco, Brian Wright and a few more that I can’t recall right now. I dragged a couple of my friends downtown and we had a front row seat for the show. Unfortunately, all of my pictures came out black - until I just ran them through a color corrector - it over corrected but at least you can see the photos now..

We were lucky enough to get to meet Rachael Yamagata and Cary Bothers after the show. Both are currently completing new releases that will be released this spring. The Hotel Cafe Tour consisted of a rotating line-up of twenty-five artists who formed one band and one crew and embarked on a six-week journey throughout the United States to share their music and raise AIDS awareness through RED who is their main sponsor.

So, anyway, the photos suck - but we had a really great night!
Check out the photos:

See the rest…
