It’s an online evening hosted by Chris Bro in his living room. Chris invites a musical friend over for music and conversation. You are invited to listen in via your computer. You don’t even have to leave your house. How easy is that?

Please welcome Kristina Koller.
She has an amazing voice. I think you’ll like this show.

Stageit is an online venue that allows musicians to stream exclusive LIVE concerts to fans. The vibe is incredibly intimate often featuring performers playing from their homes, directly from their laptop.

Here’s how it works according to the Stageit folks: Go to http://www.stageit.com/the_next_living_room_presents/kristina_koller/24088, click signup to set up an account and then click the BUY button.You will then have an opportunity to purchase credits (which Stageit calls “Notes” ; 10 Notes = $1.00). Notes allow you to pay for tickets to see shows and to tip performers during the show. This show is “Pay What You Can,” which means you can pay whatever you can afford (minimum 1 Note). Once you have Notes, they can be used for any show!

I am looking for feedback on these events so after the show please let me know what you think.

RSVP on Facebook if it pleases you

Let’s get to know the music makers:

and Wild Adriatic have many brilliant covers but I’ll just say what you’ll be saying after you listen to this one. This cover is better than the Adele original. I can hear the “dude you are crazy!” comments but listen then apologize.

oh and this version should have 5 million hits not 5 thousand. Get with it people.
Kristina Koller (another brilliant voice)

If you live in Westchester and like music and don’t show up for this show you suck.

If any bands/managers/labels etc want their music removed please contact me (chris at allthingsnext dot com) and I’ll promptly remove it. Thank you, bands. Thank you for making music. Thank you for making my life better because of the music you make. I am a passionate music consumer as are my listeners. If you think NEXT streaming music is bad you have it wrong. I am a music maker advocate.

From Steven:
Please support music education, and independent music. Buy Steven Wright-Mark’s new single “Almost Summer” for only $1.29 (pocket change!), and 50% of the proceeds go directly to The Fender Music Foundation, which supports music education by giving instruments to students. In a time when music education budgets are being cut across the board, it’s important to do something to foster our next generation of musicians. You can make a difference here http://www.reverbnation.com/stevenwrightmark/songs (click on the “Download” link with the heart).
Thanks….

This interview happened in the alley behind the glorious The Parish music venue. No Way Josie had just put on a brilliant show. Let me put it this way. I don’t dance. Never. In fact, I didn’t even dance the “first dance” at my wedding (kidding)(kinda). I don’t dance but No Way Josie almost got me dancing. Go see this band live. High energy is an understatement.

Remember if you can’t be handsome but handy.

Lyric time. Two of my favorite performers have recently released songs that are rather apropos (or at least I think so).

Frank Turner “Four Simple Words”

Is anyone else sick of the music
Churned out by lacklustre scenesters from Shoreditch?
Oh it’s all sex drugs and sins, like they’re extras from Skins,
But it’s OK because they don’t really mean it.
I want bands who had to work for their keep,
Drove a thousand miles and played a show on no sleep,
Sleeping on the floor in a stranger’s place,
Hungry just to do it all again the next day.

and then there’s Bob Schneider’s “Unpromised Land”. I love the double negative. I use them when I can. Welcome to the Promised Land music lovers.

So everybody here
Come on and let me know
Come on and make some noise
If you love rock n roll
If you’re burned out
And if the fires died
I got the skills
To bring it back to life
I want you to know
What you do to me
I want you to understand that
Where we are is not the unpromised land

Both these songs are part of our Best Songs of 2013…so far.

Live music is good for your soul. See you at a charity concert.
