Harry Connick, Jr. and Geoffrey Dicker
I love Harry Connick, Jr.! The crooner and Broadway star was in Manhattan to talk about his life and career on February 7, 2012. Harry was extremely nice when I met him and also signed one of my favorite albums of his, “She.” Thanks Harry!

Little Barrie
On February 6, 2012, Britain’s Little Barrie performed a very intimate VIP only gig at Rose Bar in New York City. The hour long set was performed for the likes of music industry royalty such as Andy Roarke from The Smiths (and of course myself!) Taking place at the swanky Rose Bar, the venue was a nice lounge with a great sound system and an upscale hipster vibe. If you don’t know the music of Little Barrie, you’re in for a treat. Their songs ROCK! It’s so refreshing when you think of the bands of today and the limited musical vocabulary of the public to see a band that just gets up there and reminds you of the good old days of Rock and Roll where the band looks like rockers and delivers the goods when they are on stage.
Barrie Cadogan of Little Barrie
Lead singer Barrie Cadogan has a raspy rocker voice and plays the hell out of his guitar. On drums is Virgil Howe (Steve Howe from the band Yes’ son) and on bass and vocals is Lewis Wharton. Little Barrie played songs such as “Surf Hell” from their 2011 record “King of the Waves.” They will be releasing new music very soon, so stay tuned to Little Barrie’s official website for more details. Thanks for rockin’ guys!
See the setlist after the jump.

David Beckham
This the first time I’ve ever seen a building smoke a cigarette. PS. You can see a 30 story version of David Beckham on 8th Avenue around 35th Street in Manhattan.

David Garrett and Geoffrey Dicker
If you don’t know the music of David Garrett, now’s your chance to discover a whole new world. The German violinist is not just a great musician – he’s amazing! He knows how to make his violin “speak” as he thrills audiences across the world. He’s one of the few artists to make the music of Led Zeppelin and Metallica (which he’s covered) accessible to audiences young and old. My entire family are fans of his (a feat in and of itself) and it was so great to meet David Garrett. He was very nice and also stopped to take a photo with me. Thanks David. I wish you continued success and thanks for making such amazing music!
