OTBKB Music: Get Out Your Calendars

There are a number of shows coming up this month that are worth marking on your calendar.  Here's a preview of four of them:

November 7 - First Saturday at Brooklyn Museum:  Taking the lead from the just opened Who Shot Rock and Roll exhibit, Grass Widow, The Beets and Crystal Silts will play from 5-8:15pm.  If that doesn't suit you, catch Prince in Purple Rain at 7pm.

November 12 - Zevon-A-Thon at Banjo Jims: Warren Zevon may have only lived to 56, but he left behind music that was savage, tender, funny, noir and romantic. A collection of singers, songwriters and musicians will perform both Warren's well known and more rarely heard material from 8pm until late.

November 24 - Acoustically Related at Southpaw: Catch three artists performing acoustically in Southpaw's monthly series. This time out, you'll get to see Jim Boggia who is not only a great songwriter but who also knows almost every song written in the last 50 years and is really funny on stage, OTBKB Music fave Leslie Mendelson, another great live performer with her piano based adult pop and rock and Benyaro who are new to me.  The show starts at 8:30pm.

November 27 - Chuck Prophet at 92Y Tribeca:  Based in San Francisco, Chuck and The Mission Express don't get to these parts all that often, so take this opportunity to see this tight soul tinged rock band who know how to get you moving.  This is the the Friday of the Thanksgiving Day weekend, so you may not be in town, but if you are this is the place to be.  8pm.
