Music Hall of Williamsburg has been the location of several amazing shows that I’ve had the privilege to catch over the last three months, starting with Kimbra in early November, followed by Real Estate on the third night of Hanukkah in December (complete with an introduction from Saturday Night Live’s and friend of the band, […]
Twain were the home town heroes on January 9th as they kicked-off as openers for Dr. Dog’s four night sold-out stint at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
