[DID NOT ATTEND: February 22, 2026] Tyler Ramsey & Carl Broehmel / Maggie Halfman

I grabbed tickets for my wife and I to see this show despite it being on a Sunday night.  It was a fun hance to see Carl Broehmel up close and personal (after having seen him twice with My Morning Jacket) and to see Tyler Ramsey who left Band of Horses a while back but who was very important to the early BoH sound.   They put out a really lovely acoustic album together.  I wasn’t sure if we’d be standing for this mellow show (probably), but I knew it would be a delightful show and it wouldn’t run too long.

And then we had a blizzard.  A full scale “no driving allowed” kind of emergency.  As soon as the snow was announced, we knew we weren’t going to go, but when it turned into such a big deal, we assumed the show would be cancelled.  BUT IT WASN’T!

I guess Carl, Tyler and Maggie were already in Philly, so the show went on.  I can’t decide what’s worse–to cancel and reschedule or to actually go ahead on a night when a lot of people probably won’t show up.

I’m a little bummed to have missed it,but I would never go out on a night like that.

Maggie Halfman is a folk singer from Kentucky.  She has a nice voice and sings pretty melodies.  A perfect opening act.

[DID NOT ATTEND: February 21, 2024] Tyler Ramsey / Jeremy Lister

Tyler Ramsey was the guitarist for Band of Horses for many years.  I don’t know why he is no longer the guitarist for Band of Horses.

He has released some solo albums, including this new one called New Lost Ages.

Musically the songs are interesting.  His voice is also pretty good.  But it all sounds a lot like Band of Horses, just not as good.  Sorry.

Jeremy Lister is (from what I can see) in high demand.  He doesn’t have anything on bandcamp, but he is a featured guest on lots of songs.  His bio says

he is known for his ability to write and perform across a wide spectrum of genres, from pop to folk to crooner jazz. In November 2021, Lister released his full-length big band holiday album “Happy Holidays, Everyone.”

His voice is interesting and evocative.  He reminds me of a bunch of offbeat singer songwriters like Michael Penn or more theatrical songwriters like Rufus Wainwright.

I wasn’t planning on going to this show because I had other shows later in the week.
