Happy Monday. Of course I have new events to post but I’m rolling with the same play list because I’m feeling this 90′s throwback. Next week I will do a play list for the ladies of the 90′s. If you are wondering about the picture, tickets for the “Color Purple Musical” go on sale today. I’ve seen it three times and pondering a 4th. Its been excellent every time I’ve seen it, so treat yourself. Also Adele is on Jimmy Kimmel tonight and John Legend is on Leno Friday. I will also post a recap of Esperanza Spalding’s show later on this week. Here are the events. Remember new events are in red and free events are in blue. Feel free to subscribe to the blog and get this listing every week. Thanks for your support.
