Abigail Washburn & Kai Welch at Womad (Taranaki, New Zealand- 3/16 & 17, 2013)

I am so glad I’m not a paid music reviewer! The luxury of being able to see a slew of live acts and not need to write a word, and then the bounty of seeing one that moves me to write, this makes putting pen to paper a true delight.I’ve recently returned from Womad Taranaki, an annual festival of world music held in the sublime beauty of a botanical gardens and forest park very near the centre of the small city of New Plymouth, New Zealand.  Five stages with acts from around the world performing…See More

Jamie commented on Justin Wesley's blog post 'DVD Review - Searching for Sugar Man'

Thanks for the comments on the Romatica/Carrie Rodriguez review Jamie. It's great to hear Carrie has fans as far away as New Zealand. Romantica's music might be as thrilling on record as it is live, but they're definitely worth watching.
