I’m Brian and I’m a music fan. Not a musician, not a critic. Just a lover of live music. CenterOrch puts me front and center at venues across New York City, amplifies my experiences and the artists I love, whether they’re the next to shine or those who have stuck with me. Hey, Annie…

Wow, I found you by doing a blog search. It seems you’ve got a head start on something I just started doing as well. Great write ups. You and I have been going to the same concerts.
When I wrote about Mika in my blog. I didn’t write about the Challenger explosion but I did discuss it with my sister. I think we both agreed it was shocking. But we also agreed that Mika and many members of his audience might not have been born yet to appreciate the event as unfortunate. For them, it’s just history.
It was good reading your reviews – I shall return. If you want to compare notes, please see my concert-log.
Thanks,
Frank Grimaldi

Hey Brian,
Thanks for the comment. I’m thinking about going to see V V Brown again. I will let you know if I buy a ticket. We definitely should meet up.

I attended the Pier Dance and it was fantastic. The music by the FreeMasons was out of this world. Also, heard them in Palm Springs at the April White Party.
Question: Do you know or can you find out the title of the song that was played at the start of the fireworks show? It was ethereal and anthem like with vocals and just beautiful.
Thanks for indulging me.

Hi Richard. Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure what that song was, and to be honest, I had left at that point 😦 Did Freemasons come back on after Ultra Nate?

Stumbled across your blog while researching career opportunities at MSLGroup. Can I live on your shoulder? I promise not to be too obtrusive. I just want to see all these great concerts that you’re going to. Just pass me a cocktail every now and then and don’t wear a hat… it blocks the stage.

Hey there – I’m so impressed with your amazing music knowledge. Makes me think I should study up a little! I actually snail mailed Holiday cards this year – first time in six years. I don’t have an address for you, or for many others unfortunately. Hope you are well!

Hi I wanted to ask about obtaining your best high resolution image of Kate Pierson of the B52s for a small history book I am authoring. Could you contact me asap via email ?
Frank Grimaldi
I would be happy to help but I unfortunately don’t have any photos of the Kate Pierson.

Keep writing, please. Big fan of your reviews Brian. Why don’t you do this as your job?
CenterOrch
Thank you, Gabe! I don’t do it as my job because I’d wind up hating it. So I keep it as a hobby I love. Thank you for reading 😉
