Phoebe Legere & Patti Rothberg: Team Up For April 25th Concert In Kingston

 

We survived the belly of the beast so we could play for you in a living room.

April 25th. Kingston, NY.

I’m teaming up with the brilliant Patti Rothberg— We are two songwriters who walked through the fire of the 90s major label machine. A lot of people got swallowed by that greed-crazed, drug-fueled circus. They expired. They went mad.

But Patti and I? We loved the music too much to die. So we just kept writing. Kept carrying our own amps. Kept surviving.

We’ve both been on Letterman. We’ve both tasted the "tech support" of the big time. But we were probably just a few minutes too smart—and too New York—to let the culture-crushing machine dumb us down. Did we scare the pants off dumbell executives with our musicianship and ultra-curvy humor? Yes. Yes we did.

I wrote my song “GIRL POWER” (currently #11 on the Canadian Groover chart) to commemorate our friendship. I’ll be playing that, plus guitar, accordion, piano, Native American flute and Billy Idol’s Steinway. Patti will be doing what she does best—honest, self-effacing guitar brilliance that must be heard to be believed.

This is word-of-mouth only. No corporate filter. Just two survivors swapping songs in an intimate room.

Friday, April 25 | Kingston, NY
